      No.

      You’re missing the fucking point. The fucking point is somebody driving “slow” probably has a reason to do so. And that reason is probably that they have determined it’s unsafe to do so.

      Some one who then drives recklessly because of that… that is not the fault of the slow person. The slow person did not make them drive recklessly. The slow person did not some how mind control the reckless driver.

      The reckless driver is solely responsible for how they drive. The slow person is not responsible for how the reckless person drives- the slow person is responsible only how the slow person drives.

      Any - ANY - argument that the reckless person is not responsible because a slow person made them frustrated/angry/stupid is illegitimate and in the same vein an abuser uses to justify abusing their victims.

      Further, I’m willing to bet that your definition of “slow” is somewhere above the speed limit. outside of immediately obvious reasons like weather or a crash or, you know another “slow” person in front of them… almost no one goes less than the speed limit. Even when it does, the vast majority of people not going the speed limit- are in the furthest right lane.

      Even if it does happen in your area, there’s nothing you can do about it and you should probably learn to not get angry and to leave more time so you make your by destination. Part of being an adult is controlling your emotions.

        “No.You’re missing the fucking point. The fucking point is somebody driving “slow” probably has a reason to do so.”

        Were you controlling your emotions when you typed this or are you not adult enough to make a point without being antagonistic. This adds nothing to the discussion but I always find it interesting when I think I hear kitchenware calling names.

        Have a nice day 😀
