Stupid drivers

Yeah, like driving. It also applies when people have an overconfidence in said skills and try to argue about it. Their arguments come from a false assumption that they know what they're talking about to begin with.

Further, everyone does it, at different times, and in different ways.

Of course.

Mentat, I never said that all people who drive the speed limit are in my way. The people I'm talking about, as I've said before, are the people who are both going much slower than everyone else around them AND have no qualms about doing so in the fast lane for great lengths of time. The worst are the people that do this right next to another slower driver and block off the entire road creating a half mile long backup in traffic. I see people do this all the time when they know exactly what they're doing and seem to get a kick out of it.

I don't disagree w/ that. I think that the passing lane is to be used for just that. If you're not passing someone you probably shouldn't be in it. That also means that if you're speeding you should be getting back over when you're not passing someone or if an exit &/or on-ramp isn't coming up. I find that most speeders tend to think that they can just hog the passing lane(s) & they're often just as guilty of not letting people pass as those that are driving at or under the speed limit. In a perfect world everyone would drive at the same speed consistently w/ cruise control but unfortunately most people are too aggressive to partake in such an ideal.

We don't live in an ideal world, so we must work with what we have. Trying to force those around you to do what you think is right is.....can't think of the word....bad?

I don't think anyone in this thread claimed to be a great driver. We're all talking about our likes and dislikes.

Well that's probably evidence that I'm not paying attention at all :P

Speak for yourself! Stop trying to force me to view the world how you want me to view it! That's... bad!

You know what's funny? Conversations with anarchists, especially the naive ones.

Me: "But government is a necessary evil."
Him: "No it's not! People can act fair on their own accord."
Me: "So what if someone decides to be an ******* and kill or steal?"
Him: "Well the rest of the people would get together to prevent that kind of thing."
Me: "You mean like... A GOVERNMENT?"
Him: "... :omg:"

Edit: I'm going to take Alran's advice. I don't really want to be suckered in to a political debate by anarcho-capitalists.
