Everyone, DRIVE FUCKING SLOW.
"C'mon, that'll just piss myself off." Do you think the French living under nazi occupation wouldn't love to dangle their bumper in front of every German driver that comes along?
Do 58 in a 65.
Do 41 in a 45.
Don't worry, because when I see you on the road driving slow, I'll join you for solidarity. I'll keep a safe distance behind, just attempting to ~~navigate international waters in the South China Sea~~ drive as slow as we legally fucking want.
Stick to the rule of "Stay to the right". Don't break traffic laws. Provide no incriminating behavior beyond "slower than normal".
Let the rest of the bastards deal with it. Those bastards, whose privilege blesses them with the worst part of their day being "shitty traffic," who then arrive to the office and bitch about it to the other old ladies who share that same privilege, ALL OF WHOM proceeded to wax poetic about the nostalgia of their gun-laden childhoods the morning after another elementary classroom was shot up, yet who didn't acknowledge THE SHOOTING amongst each other.
What a stupid idea. People like you make a mockery of the plight of the working class.
Huh turns out I was already resisting without knowing it.
It pisses me off when people accelerate so quickly off the red light and whip around me just to slam on their brakes at the next light, while I'm trying to save gas. It seems so unnecessarily dangerous.
Same thing when accelerating onto a highway or up a hill with a downhill on the other side. I get that people are in a hurry - sometimes I am too - but don't do it behind me in the right lane.
Actually accelerating quickly uses less fuel than accelerating slower as engines are more efficient at higher rpm.
that can be true but is dependent on like a dozen factors. those factors are common but not universal.
Not in my hybrid it doesn't. Besides, pickups and suvs get like 20 mpg no matter how fast they drive.
I am operating under the assumptuon that my engine is most efficient at about 2k RPM, and I shift so the new gear is about 2k. I have a pretty small engine so this isn't that fast.
My other heuristic is that by avoiding unnecessary braking, I also save fuel. The people flooring it, getting around me, and slamming on the brakes are wasting their fuel.
If you're getting on the highway you should aim to go the speed limit by the time you're merging. It's good for the engine to breathe and stretch it's legs a little bit and blow out any carbon that has built up. I agree that in town it makes no sense in town to floor it all the time. I noticed that the lights in my town are mostly timed to the speed limit.
Well tjst was a trip...
I hope somebody runs you off the road.
I hope you recover from your carbrain
You're a special kind of stupid cunt, right?
