[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had someone lay on their horn behind me today while I was stopped at a stop sign because small children were crossing in front of me.  We were literally a block from a school.  They may have even been racing to drop kids off at that school.[/quote]

It was probably the PP who fancies himself the left lane police.[/quote]

I love how triggered you are while trying to justify shitty driving. [/quote]

I’m not trying to justify it. I give other people grace and accept imperfection in other human beings so I’m not losing my mind on the highway every day.[/quote]

Clearly, you ARE losing your mind. People like you are dangerous. We have traffic laws for a reason. Instead of extending this imaginary grace, how about you obey the traffic laws and do what the signs tell you to do. Everyone is safer that way.[/quote]

Not the PP you’re responding to, but you seem the dangerously unhinged one.  There are no traffic laws or signs that advise, much less require, drivers to tailgate.  We need to take as a given that all drivers (including ourselves) are imperfect and cooperate with each other for everyone’s mutual safety.  It’s not a competition. I’ve long suspected that I care more about the safety of some other drivers than they do, and this thread is confirming that.[/quote]

I love how you characterize me as unhinged and then proceed to assign words to me I NEVER said. There are laws and signs on every highway telling slow drivers to move right. I don't need or want to rely on your or anyone else's compassion. Just follow the traffic laws!! They exist for situations like this.

If you think that you are being safe by slowing traffic down in the fast lane, than you are completely clueless. [/quote]

You are assuming that I slow down traffic in the fast lane which is FALSE.  I’m the PP who said that I’ve been tailgated in the far right lane, going at or above the speed limit - and incidentally, it’s happened more than once.  Maybe you are so morally superior that you only tailgate slow drivers in the fast lane, but many of your fellow tailgaters aren’t so discriminating.

Moreover, if something unexpected happens and that slow driver in front of you has to slam on their brakes, you may feel that running into them serves them right, but when it sends their car flying into another lane and injures or kills someone in a nearby vehicle are you going to tell them to blame the driver who wasn’t speeding as fast as you wanted them to.[/quote]

So this happened to you TWICE and you’re bringing it up…why? To deflect from your own bad behavior. Get out of the left lane.
