Love reading threads about driving cause everyone is very upset for no discernible reason.

[–] Amir@lemmy.ml 19 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Driving is dangerous, and intentionally making it more dangerous deserves anger

[–] DJDarren@sopuli.xyz 17 points 2 days ago

The beauty of this comment is that it could be in support of either position.

Driving is inherently stressful. Hell, merely being around cars is proven to negatively impact your health: https://www.eea.europa.eu/en/newsroom/editorial/are-you-noticing-the-harmful-noise

The only reason I accept to not let these people pass is if it forces you do something unsafe, like throwing yourself over to the next lane and slamming on the brakes to match speed with the other cars. Otherwise just give them the lane and let them be a reckless ass somewhere else away from you. Safer that way. It's not your job to enforce traffic rules.

[–] forkDestroyer@infosec.pub 23 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Exactly. You have no clue why they're speeding either. Sure it could be some a-hole, but it could also be someone with a medical situation, or someone that's about to poop their pants.

When I was younger I used to stay in the lane. Now I move over if it's safe, and let them pass. Not worth the chance of accidentally upsetting a psycho.

Only time I've been close to road rage was when a Mercedes CL had a really bright LED strobe light installed inside it's front grill and he activating it, if somebody was in his way.

It wasn't a cop or other emergency vehicle. Just an asshole.

I was lucky to be in front of him for 15 minutes when traffic got compacted enough to prevent lane change.

For a moment I considered hitting the brakes on that particular tailgater.

I do this and then wonder why the fuck the asshole honking won't just pass.

I take my foot off of the gas pedal, if they don't pass me by the time I've coasted to as slow as idle will take me I assume they aren't going to and return to the speed I was going previously.

It’s good to slow down to get the traitor off your ass, but be careful: our traitor zoomed around us and cut us off out of spite. My girlfriend pointed out that behavior like that will get that worthless dumbfuck shot one day.

[–] teslasaur@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Sometimes i really wish i had the time to get into a fenderbender, just so that the asshole behind gets their comeuppance.

Not an actual encouragement for break checking idiots, please be safe.

[–] Vorticity@lemmy.world 31 points 3 days ago (4 children)

You know, I get it, they're probably just an asshole. Maybe they're having an emergency, though. How about just letting them get around in case there is a good reason for driving recklessly? Or maybe just in case they're nuts enough to make things violent?

[–] MudMan@fedia.io 54 points 3 days ago (17 children)

I mean, the text say the guy honked for going "70 in a 50".

If you take it at face value, the person posting is the asshole and a terrible driver endangering everybody on the road.

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 37 points 3 days ago (1 children)

She's taking selfies while driving, clearly she's the better person

The other person would have to be doing 70 as well, in order to honk at them.
