This used to annoy me, but after realizing how many road deaths there are every year, I now see speed reduction as almost always a good thing. Driving is one of the most dangerous things people do.
This is more dangerous than doing it the correct way
False, it is actually the case that collisions are LESS deadly at slower speeds. I know it’s difficult to wrap your mind around, but science is sometimes unintuitive!
Driving is more deadly than not driving. Stupid take
I was trying to explain this to the officer the other day when he caught me playing on my phone and not even bothering to hold the steering wheel
They’re less deadly, but this maneuver makes them more likely. Overall, it’s more dangerous.
It’s not if people aren’t speeding. You’re just victim blaming. If a car has low visibility and it hits someone, you wouldn’t say, well they should just get out of the way, you’d blame the low visibility. Same situation. If people were not driving recklessly in the left lane, then it wouldn’t be a problem that people are also driving normally in the left lane.
Don’t bother replying to this I’m not reading this thread anymore.
This is “rape whistles shouldn’t be necessary” logic. People are going to speed. You can’t fiat anyone’s behavior but your own.
but they ARE speeding. That’s why they’re in the fast lane. Parking there with speeders pointed at your ass is a bad idea, regardless of your personal moral stance on driving.
You’ll be right, but you’ll be dead.
If they are speedng then they are breaking the law. Just like someone being in the passing lane while not passing.
Yep. They’ll be in a lot of trouble after they kill you. You’ll be happy that you were right though, yeah? In the afterlife?
Ew you legit had a tanty cos people disagreed with you about your bad opinion on driving
Quite respectful disagreement counts as a “tanty” now?
