Same day different asshole.

I just let them pass you. Not worth some lunatic you piss off even more and end up shooting you.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago (4 children)

I would fully agree that confronting a lunatic face to face is dangerous, but the chances of getting shot for driving slow is next to zero.

But is not zero

Play some Tom Petty for ambiance while you're rolling along.

This comment section is a very good case study in why better public transportation is absolutely necessary: a lot of you should not ever drive.

Using phone while driving... Great.

Fuck everyone who ever touches their phone while the vehicle is on. This shit is not okay, ever.

Given the size bloat, I think heavy vehicle => hevicle is appropriate.

I have some great news for you. Look at what took effect yesterday in my state! Using a mobile device, including at a red light, is now a primary offense (you'll get pulled over for just that).

This just applies to PA, but it's a pretty big state with a population between Sweden and the Netherlands, so it's not nothing!

Doesn’t matter if it's not enforced. We have no holding phone rules in GA and I routinely see people using their phones while driving.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Worse, too often these laws are selectively enforced only when cops are looking for an excuse to profile minorities and poorer drivers.

  1. The phone is clearly mounted on the dashboard.

  2. It's not uncommon for people to record their whole trip for social media, not just take to a picture.

  3. This caption could have been pasted over a completely unrelated screenshot of someone else's video for all we know.

Don't touch your phone while driving, but also, don't believe everything you see on social media.

On your last point... It's still damaging because it normalises it. UK has very harsh stance on this and you'd get in shit even for point 1. There should be zero tolerance on this. They're a dickhead driver regardless. Two dickheads don't make it right.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago

UK is a paper tiger on this.

tbf, going 20 in a 50 zone is probably not a terrible situation to be multitasking in. not at all like multitasking at 50 in a 50 zone

I take my foot off of the gas pedal, if they don't pass me by the time I've coasted to as slow as idle will take me I assume they aren't going to and return to the speed I was going previously.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

I'll slow down to exactly the speed limit (which because my speedometer is ~2MPH fast means going slightly below the limit) if someone honks at me for going too slowly. I'll also specifically not turn right until it's green if someone behind me honks to turn right on red

I'm a pretty chill driver. I don't speed, I don't aggressively lane change or push lights, but if someone thinks their horn will get me drive in a less safe manner I will happily slow them down just a little bit more. If they don't honk, I'll happily make it easy for them to pass when it is safe
