Blaming slow drivers for your dangerous driving to pass them immediately and dangerously has the same energy as a rapist blaming what the victim was wearing: The other person made me do it. I have no agency over my own reactions.
Great Carlin quote about this. Have you ever noticed anyone going slower than you is an idiot and anyone faster a maniac?
Passing aggressively on a 2 lane road: ok, yes I agree
Driving slow on a 4 lane highway: real dangerous
If someone isn't going to go at least the speed limit on a highway, they should use back roads instead.
Wrong. Traffic laws in multiple states are "slower traffic keep right". Just obey the law, grandma, and everyone will be safe and you can drive as slow as you'd like.
What does that have to do with what I said?
