why would you ever need to drive fast. if you hold up everyone in the road then everyone’s late to work, and they can’t fire us all
they also can’t make all of us pay our taxes
…is this praxis? In the cores I feel it might just be praxis…

I only do this whenever someone is driving hyper aggressively behind me. Only because I feel like I’m reducing their risk of killing someone on the road. It’s hilarious to see them rage from my rearview mirror.
I do something similar on my bike. If I see that there’s not enough clearance on the other lane, and that the car behind me might want to squeeze past me 10cm away from me, I will boldly occupy more space to precent them from passing at without running over me.
A cyclist just got killed this week by one of those aggressive drivers in my country. It wasn’t an accident, they ran over him on purpose. Stay safe on the road, there are actually insane people out there.
It’s called taking the lane and it’s a perfectly valid way to stay safe when having to share the road with cars.
Ironically, you are the dangerous driver.
“Ironically, you are the dangerous driver”Can’t help it if it’s a one-lane road. Or I’m the one in the slow lane.
That’s not what is illustrated.
And?
You can choose to drive a different speed than the person next to you. Even if that means going slower.
Instead now there’s an army of cars building up behind you, none of them with an appropriate following distance. As soon as anything interrupts the flow of traffic now there’s 20+ people running the risk of getting into an accident. Or even worse causing waves of braking an accelerating which leads to traffic jams.
It’s the responsibility of the following car to maintain the appropriate distance, not the one in front.
Nice of you to highlight that you think traffic jams are worse than accidents as well.
Yes, it’s the responsibility. In the event of an accident they’re going to be at fault. But obviously they’re not doing that.
How do you figure? I do the same shit and take no responsibility for the stupid way the people around me will react.
I don’t force them to illegally pass me in the shoulder… I don’t slam the gas pedal on their car and jerk their wheel into oncoming traffic in a fit of rage… They do that stuff in reaction to my very benign driving. The need for other people to drive like shitheads is not my fault.
Sure, but you still contribute to the creation of the dangerous situation. When you bait someone you know has a short tempter into lashing out, it is ultimately their action and their responsibility, but it’s still not a good thing to do.

I love making pickup trucks and Nissan altimas mad.
100% they’re creating the conditions in which people are likely to die. Def not good.
“I didn’t do anything wrong when standing in between a bear and her cubs. It is her fault and her fault alone that I got mauled.”
Seriously, nobody cares if dead people are in the right because that won’t bring you back.
Such a clever reply someone had already done it. The edit is totally not the same thing 👍 (edit: they ninja edited out a meme image that was basically the same as the original attempt which was a copy of another poster)
Yeah, I realized I was beat to the punch, so edited my comment to actually be engaging.
lol your edit has big “what about the homework?” energy. Fucking dork.

this is praxis
Me but riding a bike.
Please don’t play stupid games in cars. You’re just becoming an obstacle here and increasing the chances someone gets hurt.
Counterpoint: they’re probably all carbrained Americans
Someone includes op here
I don’t think op was serious about this either, at least I’d hope not
When some asshole with a deathwish tailgates me as I am driving past a row of trucks in the slow lane I deliberately stay in the fast lane, driving the speed limit lane until I’m past every truck in sight while the idiot behind me goes
Why should I move? He’s the one who sucks.
Is this true
Nothing so satisfying as doing this to tailgating Range Rovers on my morning commute.
I see you are a disciple of Satan
You can’t pass on the right in Germany so this is actually proper behavior
Yeah blue has to move over or speed up
Blue is in the wrong here (in the US), so proceed my chaotic champion!

saw a guy on a speedbike do this… he gunned it at every green light, going 0 to probably 50 before having to slam his brakes at the next red light.
sometimes he’d make it thru two lights before having to stop.
he did this for miles
i know because we were just driving along normally and kept catching up to him over and over again the whole way home
