Doubles as an awareness device. You become "aware" you are too close to the vehicle when walking behind it.


This article is right on the money, the campers force other stupid behavior. Both at fault.

It’s not the speed on the highway that kills as much the weaving in and out of traffic, which is caused by people who impede the flow of traffic,”

Oh you got that right! I have the bruises on my shins to prove it.

But you are saying the same thing. Those people (speeders) should obey the law, so I can creak the law by driving in the left lane.

Yeah, but the difference is that we left-lane-hogs haven't posted a rage-thread about it.

Personally I don't care if people speed. None of my business nor my concern unless they're being completely reckless (which is not the case for 99% of people who speed).

But neither is it any of my concern if they feel entitled to go 90mph and feel that I should get out of their way. I will if I have the opportunity and if I feel like it. But I'll also drive in the left lane if I feel like it.

And there's nothing that these snowflakes can do about it

But the people driving in the left lane statistically cause more accidents (see article linked earlier in this thread).

In my experience, the options are pretty limited for entitled speeder-snowflakes. They can tailgate, flash lights, and post rage-threads on the internet. Or make silly keyboard-warrior threats like Toyman at Jewel Lake.

None of these has pushed me out of the left lane yet

Guess what...that is not for you to determine. Now get the F over !

In this day of road rage why would you want to deliberately provoke it?
