    I think when people wave their bodies out the window and then drive into oncoming traffic to get around someone theres idk the potential for more to be going on than "they're road raging for no reason"

    American drivers do this all the time when there’s nothing going on.

    Maybe consider the needs of other people before you smugly clap like a seal over inconveniencing them

    Not letting me endanger the lives of everyone around me is inconveniencing me!

    Ironic how you implore us to “consider the needs of other people” while defending reckless driving at the expense of everyone else. Maybe “consider the needs of other people” before you drive your multi-ton death machine 30 above the speed limit.

    And also

    speed limits are generally really fucking arbitrary

    Yeah, they totally aren’t implemented by engineers after traffic surveys and a consideration of numerous factors such as pedestrian crossings and type of road, that’s DMV propaganda, it’s totes completely arbitrary!

      Gonna agree with bmf here on the setting of speed limits here. Road design often doesn't match the set speed limit, making the limit seem arbitrary even tho there's a (flawed) process for setting them. [https://youtu.be/bglWCuCMSWc](The problem with speed limits)
