The safest speed to go is the speed of traffic. If the limit is 55 and you are driving 52 but everyone else is driving 62, you are the most dangerous person on the road.
What? No! Driving faster is not safer. What kind of logic is that? If someone does something dangerous because I drive the speed limit they are unsafe not me.
I remember reading a story a while back. Couple lumberjacks had a serious accident, so while one guy was bleeding out in the back seat, the driver was doing 100+ and the third guy was on the phone with the cops trying to get a police escort.
They ran into a Karen like you, who decided to make sure they went the speed limit. Guy in the back seat died as a result.
The fuck you talking about? I never said I'd actively block anyone from overtaking me and the traffic won't flow at 100mph. So what the fuck is your point? Start turning on your brain before calling me a Karen.
No, you said you believed going the speed limit was always safer than going with the flow of traffic.
Not only are you a Karen, you're a particularly stupid one.
You are not very good at making a logical argument, are you? You cite an example of a vehicle needing to go over 100mph for an emergency, which firstly doesn't happen very often and secondly doesn't fucking flow with the traffic either.
Then you called me a Karen because in your mind you made up a scenario where this would happen in my vicinity and I'd be blocking that car whichni wouldn't do willingly but unwillingly probably do anyways even if I'd go with the flow because 100+ mph is not the normal fucking flow of traffic.
Your argument was so bad that I considered blocking you but I wanted to see if you might have an epiphany but I am losing hope. You seem to be having too much fun making up fantasy scenarios where someone dies because I drive the speed limit.
If you think driving the speed limit is safer than driving with the flow of traffic, I would consider it an honor to be blocked by an idiot like you.
Bye!
