I was watching this video of a live chicken trapped on a moving truck and thought it was strange that it’s not possible to say anything to them even when circumstances might warrant it. All we got is honking and waving. There could be a touchscreen interface with a map of nearby vehicles. It could be voice controllable or the passenger could do it for safety.

    I’m not sure what I said to elicit such hate, and I don’t know what state or country you’re in. In California this is the law, and it’s at least as important as the speed limit. But unfortunately, it is never enforced. Slower traffic keep right

      Being called out for a hypocrisy is not hate.

      You were literally telling me not to tell be how to drive (which, while I came close, I didn’t actually do,) while literally telling me how to drive.

      I understand many states have some form of “slower traffic laws”… and explained why that’s not relevant.

      There are many reasons why someone needs to be in the left lane- taking a left-exit, or the left hand fork in a split, or, you know, actually passing people themselves…. Or seeing an eratic driver behind them making it dangerous to get over.

      I have to assume that CA law also says something about running people off the road because they’re not going fast enough for you. Generally, I assume everywhere does- for obvious reasons.

      Even if you’re right, that doesn’t give you them right to drive recklessly and tailgate people. Which brings me back to the original point I was making: the kind of people who are angry at having to slow down… are unlikely to be polite and civil- they’re already demonstrating harassing behaviors.

        I never said you shouldn’t tell people how to drive. I implied you shouldn’t physically force others to drive how you want. Note I also never said it’s ok to speed. Anyway, have a good night. I’ll try to enjoy being stuck in traffic caused by you.
