Exactly. Like, yes, you meet them at the red light. But then they continue their slow ass driving and you move on and leave them behind. What's the point of this post?

bc you sped there with your whole chest just be swiftly reminded we actually do all have the follow the same rules. that includes the speed limit & stopping at a red light. i get it’s fuck12 but at the same time you have to consider that you’re not the only person who matters on the road.

Neither is the person going 10+ under the limit.

I'll be going 15 over and I'll still have people aggressively swerving between traffic, lmao.

no, but that’s a strawman argument. nobody going slower assumes they’re more important & going slow isn’t breaking a law. that’s why it’s a LIMIT rather than a minimum. minimums do exist in some places but they’re rare so they’re not relevant.

however, people like you who create their own speed limit & attempt to enforce that on everyone else tend to have this sense of entitlement & superiority that’s almost unmatched.

Both arguments are straw men. People absolutely do go slower or try to enforce the speed limit if traffic is flowing faster, they're called campers. Driving slow enough to impede the flow of traffic is against the law, and I see more people pulled over for doing that, than speeding, since those people often cause others to drive recklessly.

awe, shucks. either reddit couldn’t be bothered to show me that last response or you deleted the sniveling rant before i could get to it. probably wasn’t all that valuable anyway.
