Point taken. I have since learned why it's not a violation from someone I know to be highly educated in such matters. I'm usually not a betting man, but 20 bucks says those Democrat candidates aren't calling for the exclusion/elimination of groups of people they don't like because their beliefs teach them that "those people shouldn't exist", aren't pushing a draconian sense of morality and anyone who doesn't subscribe to it is "vile" or "unworthy", or supporting the "our way or the highway" or "no matter what, our guy won" rhetorics. I am by no means a hardcore Democrat, since I recognize that all parties have their own issues.

No, it really won't. If I, the lead car, am driving slower, I have a greater reaction time for what's ahead of me. If they're already upset that I'm not doing 10+ over, then start riding my ass to the point that I decide to slow down, I don't care how much more upset they get. And if they rear-end me due to their own impatience, that's on them. No matter their reason, if they're traveling too close for my comfort, I'll start maliciously complying with the speed limit.

While living in another state for a few years, I was maintaining adequate distance on the interstate, until someone jumped in the gap and slammed on his brakes, causing me to hit him. I would've been able to stop, had the gap been there, but this 🤡 had other ideas. And I still was fined for "following too close", despite how it happened. So yeah, I'm cautious. And as it's already been mentioned, I also don't do this in the passing lane when there is one. You want to pass me? Pass me.

A few years back, I was heading north on Campbell, and was going to turn left at the intersection of Sunshine. I was in the turn lane that would put me on the outer/north lane of Sunshine. The car in the other turn lane decides, as the light changes, "ya know what, never mind" and just continues north, sideswiping my car. Riding shotgun was a family member who had been in a catastrophic crash about a year prior, and their condition was still precarious. A sudden shock like that could have severely aggravated their healing injuries, so I was livid. I was able to get a license plate while they called 911. I pulled over, an officer met us and took statements, and one of their friends took them to the hospital. I was later informed that the driver was uninsured, and driving on a suspended license. Thankfully, my family member was not seriously hurt, and the damage to my car was minimal. Take the L, pull into one of the parking lots down the road, and turn around. Stop putting people at risk.
