What’s a little extra 5 or 10 mph on the clock?

    Yeah but if you’re the odd one out, you’re the problem.

    If everyone is going too fast for you, you should use a slower road and not be a danger/impediment.

      I think that’s a very backwards way of thinking about it. If you’re being safe, but a bunch of people are being unsafe, and bring your life in danger, that’s not you being a problem, that’s you being a victim.

      If people start waving knives around at random, and telling you they’ll get closer to you, if you don’t also wave a knife around, then that’s a hostage situation, not people wanting you to be safe.

        You’re not being safer by driving slower, your base premise is wrong

          My base premise is faster drivers being the source of slower drivers being unsafe, not the other way around. Thus the slower drivers are the victims of this, and shouldn’t be blamed for driving slower, and definately shouldn’t be encouraged to driver faster, just because a bunch of assholes think they’re more important than everyone else.

            They should be encouraged and enabled to not drive at all.

            Slow drivers are a big reason why I want free and abundant public transportation.
