I'd say though as a general rule: do drive like a pussy. Lives are on the line. One stupid "brave badass" mistake kills an infant and its mother.

that's a good general rule, but driving too slow can be dangerous, too.

Yeah, if you have to go that slow you shouldn't be on the road.

I had like 6 cars aggressively tailgating me and tailgating the tailgaters this morning, and I was driving at a reasonable speed. A couple of them even passed in a very dangerous spot, right before a curve in the road where you can't see if any cars are coming. I was shocked. I don't understand how people can be like this. Fuckin' lunatics.

Again, I was driving at a reasonable speed. It was very foggy in spots, so I slowed slightly below the speed limit at times. This didn't seem to factor into any of their concerns. Those fucking morons risked their lives this morning and the lives of strangers to save maybe 2-3 minutes. People like this should be in prison.

Understand how a four way stop works. Motion to another driver in a kind way who has the right away if you come to the stop at the same time. Look at a car's wheels to see if they are starting to accelerate.

Good point, but isn't it "right of way"?

Are you sure traffic wasn't backed up because they were waiting for you to back into a parking spot?

It really made me think because I've never typed it out before and I always just sort of slur it together when saying it.

Yeah, I figured. It's better to be embarrassed on here than in real life. Don't worry about it.

This has been so bad lately, wherever I go.
