The graveyards are filled with people who had the right-of-way, who died knowing they were in the right.
And even if it's a slow speed accident, who cares about being right if you get a disability in the process? It is safer to let them through so they don't plow into you when you have to suddenly stop.
The only reason to LARP as a highway cop is just ego.
- foo12bar 4mo agoSure, you can hide and worry about protecting yourself in an ever more dangerous world, or join people like him and me and take a stand against bad behavior. If enough people do it, it will make a difference.
- StableAlkyne 4mo ago> you can hide and worry about protecting yourself in an ever more dangerous world This is a childish mindset. It would be worth taking a defensive driving course if you haven't done so, it may be helpful. > join people like him and me and take a stand against bad behavior Ironically, impeding faster traffic by camping the passing lane is also illegal in several states (yes, even if you're going the speed limit).
- shmeeed 4mo agoNo it won't. You're not "taking a stand". This isn't a bar fight. You're mistaking responsible defensiveness for cowardice, and passive-aggressiveness for civil courage. There is zero chance they'll recognise your dominance, let alone moral superiority, and walk away changed from a teaching moment. They're not even seeing you as a person. They only see your car as one more obstacle among so many other "idiots", and it's quite probable you're provoking only more reckless behaviour.
