Why are the slow people in such a rush?

[SMOKEU]

I blame society. We simply don't listen to enough Bob Marley and it's illegal to smoke enough weed.

If you can't beat 'em SS

I agree with that. The roads would probably be a lot safer if more people drove high.

The number of times I've been behind someone doing 45 in a 50, who actually slows for the green (in case it changes?), then they breeze through the orange leaving me stuck on the red. Bah!

Excuse me I always slow at any light controlled intersection and ensure no fuckers as you call them are running red lights. Happening to often and seen to many examples of it.

Because of this shit.

People realy ARE dicks.

I'm talking to you. ALL of you. Especially women who don't know their place in society. If it's a better quality vehicle, GET OUT OF THE WAY AND GET BACK TO THE KITCHEN.

No, it's usually because the moron waiting for the park stops so close you don't have room to exit the park... seen it so many times

I have always wondered why old folks drive so slowly. I would have thought if you are in your twilight years you need to get from A to B as fast as possible - time's running out ya know.

Getting from A is the easy part...poor old sods have forgotten where B is

It scares me to share the roads with idiots like you

That's part of the process. The actual study goes into that bit in detail as well.

I agree. I would never exceed 5 kph. Head-on collisions would generally result in giggles.

[Voltaire]

you think its that end of the spectrum?
i find its suvs, rav4s, women in general and middle aged men in hybrids.
I glare at them as i pass, but they must be concentrating pretty hard on going straight ahead, they never make eye contact.
I also clap at a lot of people (well, aucklanders, if not actual people) who pull fuckwit maneuvers and dont 'get ahead' which causes some hilarity.

fukn aklandrs, they should blow up the harbour bridge, greenhite bridge and SH 16 and die.

You're the idiot. What you should be scared of is cagers who don't pay any attention to where they're going, and who don't give a single fuck about any other road users.

When you're real baked it's real fun to just pin the throttle hard and do a quick clutchless upshift just before the redline. Try it some time.

Couldn't. Unable to anything fast without passing out.

Toughen up then, or snort some coke or speed.

Then I hate you, and I hope your cat gets rabies and bites your hamster.

Sure, red light runners do run red lights; but (yes I can see this is ironic, or something like ironic that isn't ironic but seems like it) life is too short to be wasting time at every green light just in case.

Have a look around, fine. But impede traffic? No.

I would guess that people are afraid that if they leave "too much" space, someone else will whip in and steal the space.

No, it isn't a conscious process. It is instinctive negatively-reinforced positive socialisation behaviour. It's territorial, and tribal and deeply rooted in primate behaviour.
