Ironically, you are the dangerous driver.
Can't help it if it's a one-lane road. Or I'm the one in the slow lane.
That's not what is illustrated.
And?
You can choose to drive a different speed than the person next to you. Even if that means going slower.
Instead now there’s an army of cars building up behind you, none of them with an appropriate following distance. As soon as anything interrupts the flow of traffic now there’s 20+ people running the risk of getting into an accident. Or even worse causing waves of braking an accelerating which leads to traffic jams.
It's the responsibility of the following car to maintain the appropriate distance, not the one in front.
Nice of you to highlight that you think traffic jams are worse than accidents as well.
Yes, it's the responsibility. In the event of an accident they're going to be at fault. But obviously they're not doing that.
How do you figure? I do the same shit and take no responsibility for the stupid way the people around me will react.
I don’t force them to illegally pass me in the shoulder… I don’t slam the gas pedal on their car and jerk their wheel into oncoming traffic in a fit of rage… They do that stuff in reaction to my very benign driving. The need for other people to drive like shitheads is not my fault.
Sure, but you still contribute to the creation of the dangerous situation. When you bait someone you know has a short tempter into lashing out, it is ultimately their action and their responsibility, but it's still not a good thing to do.
I love making pickup trucks and Nissan altimas mad.
100% they're creating the conditions in which people are likely to die. Def not good.
"I didn't do anything wrong when standing in between a bear and her cubs. It is her fault and her fault alone that I got mauled."
Seriously, nobody cares if dead people are in the right because that won't bring you back.
Such a clever reply someone had already done it. The edit is totally not the same thing 👍 (edit: they ninja edited out a meme image that was basically the same as the original attempt which was a copy of another poster)
Yeah, I realized I was beat to the punch, so edited my comment to actually be engaging.
lol your edit has big “what about the homework?” energy. Fucking dork.
