I assume they’re having an emergency. Or they’re a raging asshole. In either case it’s not a great idea to play games with them. If you ever fuck around and find out I hope you’ll come tell us about it so I can gloat.
Funny thing about irrational people? Even if you act as safe as you can, they’ll find some way to blame you for being their problem.
Tolerance of intolerance is not tolerance. It’s enablement. Sure, don’t be a petty dick and make the situation worse… but don’t necessarily act the doormat either.
I’ve got a similar story, but with a much more positive ending.
Was at a LARP event, camping in the woods, when a girl started having an asthma attack. She’d forgotten her inhaler, no one else had one on hand, and she was visibly turning blue as she suffocated. We called 911, but the nearest hospital was in a city several miles away and the 911 operator couldn’t locate our site to send the ambulance.
We agreed to meet the ambulance on the highway halfway, loaded up in my truck, and I booked it. Pushed my little 4-cylinder Frontier up to 115mph. Fastest I’ve ever driven. I had my hazards going and was flashing my brights like an asshole at every car I overtook. Thank fuck they all yielded to me.
We met the ambulance on the side of the road, transferred her over, and they were able to get her breathing again. She survived.
I sometimes wonder who died and made them all highway patrol. I just want to get home safe, can people just not fucking ego trip behind the wheel of the 2 ton deathmobile?
Frankly it’s harder than you think for many, the only thing that calms me down and makes me drive absolutely great is weed but I hesitate to drive mildly high too often to not get caught randomly by some pig.
Also it seems like the more time I am driving the more bmw drivers and bmw drivers without bmw piss me off.
So you feel that it would be better for me to either increase to an unsafe speed or force my way back into the slower traffic that I was trying to pass in the first place?
You’re driving at the bleeding edge of what you consider safe, couldn’t possibly pick it up a bit to get by and move over? You’re doing that and have the audacity to judge other drivers? Get the fuck off the road entirely, sell your car, stay indoors.
Ah, so your answer is “why don’t you just do what I tell you?” and beyond that you immediately resort to hurling insults? This is all starting to make a lot of sense now…
You’re claiming to be driving so fast that any increase in speed would make an unsafe situation. Your reading comprehension is so poor that you take offense at non-existent insults. Yeah, you shouldn’t be driving at all.
I was just about to type out another argument, but I realized it’s pointless. You clearly will not be happy with any answer other than “everyone should just let you drive however you want to” with a healthy dose of “the rules only apply to everyone else”…
There’s also a law that says to
yield to overtaking traffic. Where’s the law that says creating a rolling road block is OK? How did I miss the legislation that deputized every self righteous prick as some kind of speed limit enforcer?

Remember that reddit story about blocking a shoulder passer? (SafeReddit)

OMG!
You saved a life ❤️ great collab
Yeah, and never proven to be true.
Sounded a little suspicious on a second read!

Hi, I’m an enthusiast.
Fuck you for smoking and driving.
You cannot justify it to me no matter how many times you rephrase “it helps me chill Bro”
What do you mean you are an enthusiast though. Are you my fan? Please tell me you are my fan it would be so cool
It helps me chill bro
Holy shit please do not smoke and drive.
Can’t give any promises 😈
Well you just promised us you’re a piece of shit, so … seems you can
Maybe I am maybe I am not, none of your business honey
I haven’t decided yet
Yes, you can. Please do the responsible thing.

Well there is this thing called a speed limit, that is a very clear hard limit. If you go over, it is at the very least financially unsafe.
