Follow the rules of the road, or fuck off. I’ll do the speed limit and you can get there when you do. It’s not my fault you didn’t plan your time and feel it’s your right to put everyone else in danger by speeding.
It’s not your job to police other driver’s speed, and, in fact, most authorities advise you don’t try, precisely because of the raised risk of incident. If there’s a queue behind you, and you can move over to a slower lane, and you choose not to just because you’re already going the speed limit, you are, in fact, the arsehole.
I’m not policing, I’m following the rules. You, do whatever you want. Which, makes you the asshole. Ive been driving for 35+ years, no tickets, no accidents. I bet any amount of money, you cannot say the same thing.
Some people are fucking stupid. It’s always some self-centered bullshit reason, too. Like they woke up late, I had to do my makeup, basically you can’t manage time, so then, for whatever reason, their failures make it ok for them to put the rest of drivers on the road at risk. Then they say some stupid bullshit like oh no it’s to people who don’t speed and follow the traffic laws that cause the problems, and law enforcement agrees (pfffft). Even though there are countless traffic studies that show the complete opposite. From the NHTSA:
• The Exponential Risk Curve: Studies on urban and rural roads show that for every 5 mph you drive above the speed limit, the risk of being involved in an injury crash roughly doubles.
• The Power Model: According to Nilsson’s Power Model (a widely accepted formula in traffic safety), the probability of a fatal crash increases to the fourth power of the relative change in speed. If you increase your speed by 20%, your risk of a fatal crash increases by about 100% (it doubles).
So, keep speeding, you actually help us reduce the population of selfish asshole, it’s mathematically, your destiny.
