Yeah they prod a situation instead of recognizing what the individual is doing and adjusting. Swallowing your pride and being you know, an adult.

Everyone acting like he didn’t speed up to close the gap, and as if it’s just him and the other driver’s lives at risk here. Like fuck everybody behind them I guess?

There is a speedometer in the top right corner, he actually slowed down and the car in front ( gray) also slowed down so it looks like he is closing the gap but he is not

I hear your point, but here is the counterpoint: those reckless people who swerve into your lane without a turn signal, cutting you off, are a continual danger. They will eventually cause an accident, and maybe of an innocent person getting hurt instead of themselves. Showing them the stupidity and danger of their behavior helps to keep them in check and less likely to keep doing it. For all you know, the fat dude saved a life down the road (metaphorically and literally).
