    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.

      You know, and I know you know, that that’s never what is meant by saying it’s “safer to travel at the speed of traffic”. It’s tragic to be sure, but it’s not a counter argumement against obeying the law.

        It is safer to travel at the speed of traffic. The guy I responded to clearly said that he would rather be a rolling roadblock following speed limits like an idiot, instead of travelling with traffic.

      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.
