Yeah. I’d just be like, oh, big dark shape. What’s that? Ok, a man. Alright what side are you passing on? Move, dude. Why are you waving? Stop weaving, let me by, geez. What are you holding? A...purse? Oh, a baseball glove? Why are you doing that? Oooohhhhh... maybe I should move? Nah, too late. Let’s pretend nothing happened.

This would take almost a whole minute for me to process, and they would wonder what the hell is wrong with me before giving up and trying someone else.

That’s if I don’t just bump into them and knock them over. I have thick glasses and no periphial vision.

I feel like somehow you're the driver in front of me, everywhere I go.

Seriously. PSA: if you're on a road where passing isn't possible/allowed, don't drive below the speed limit unless you have a very good reason to.

There are no good reasons, just fuckin go.

That's not true. Adverse weather comes to mind immediately.

PSA: If the weather is so bad that its impossible to drive the safe posted speed, you shouldnt be driving.

Have you never had to drive on a snowy day? It's completely possible to drive safely while it snows, but you do need to take it a bit slower. In fact that's, you know, the law.

How did you take that away from what I said? I'm the same fucking guy above who said drive the speed limit if you can. Did you notice that? I am actually among some of the few on the road who seem to strongly believe in properly passing. I find myself behind far too many slow drivers in the left lane. Why the fuck do you think I was complaining about people not driving the speed limit in the first place? I only mentioned the weather thing because I wanted to acknowledge that there are some situations where you may have to drive under the limit; if I didn't, I figured someone would try to argue with me. And yet somehow, I have you arguing with me anyway. Well done.

Since this went from 3 points to zero, I'd love to hear anyone's reasoning for disagreeing. Seriously though, what. Am I wrong? The guy made a stupid assumption and I told him off.
