    they weren’t keeping pace

    driving 75 mph in a 65 mph area

    Why are you being intentionally obtuse?

    Nobody should be peer pressured into breaking the law, especially when the risk can be literally life or death on top of risk of law enforcement interaction (which can be extremely bad for many people. Some jobs literally require zero traffic infractions and check regularly in order to maintain the job. Folks on parole or probation can be sent back to prison for a minor traffic infraction, at risk folks can experience racial profiling during traffic stops which can be deadly)

    When it comes to breaking the law, everyone has a risk tolerance. Some folks that’s zero and they will follow every law they can, some will accept some risk of a minor fine but not more, and some will risk everything regularly. Just because you want to speed excessively doesn’t mean anyone else is obligated to enable you

      If people want to pass you you’re inherently not keeping Pace what do you think keeping Pace means?

      How do you not understand that you’re not a cop and you don’t get to decide how other people act? Why are you being intentionally obtuse?

      This entire thread is full of bad driver self-reporting about how much they stare into the rear view instead of looking forward.

        So if someone wants to run a red light but isn’t first in line everyone should start running the red too so that they can run it? That’s basically what you’re demanding with your gospel of Keeping Pace

        Or if we want to make this even more extreme (and less good of an analogy), if I see someone pouring drugs into a girl’s drink I should do absolutely nothing because I’m not a cop?

        That’s not how this works. That’s not how any of this works.

          Why are you doing that redditor thing where you bring up a random hypothetical that makes no sense as if it’s a good refute?

          Just yield dude it’s not hard. You should really try to not let your ego do the driving because you make the roads more unsafe when you fuck up the flow of traffic.
