What’s a little extra 5 or 10 mph on the clock?

    First of all, you’d be surprised how many car enthusiasts support good urbanism. They aren’t mutually exclusive.

    Second, the people in this thread aren’t demonstrating love for cars anyway; they’re largely merely acknowledging the factual reality that it really is dangerous to provoke a lot of extra lane changes and passing maneuvers by driving at a significantly different speed than the flow of traffic. Speaking of which, I’ve removed some of your other comments (specifically, the ones suggesting to do that and to pseudo-brake-check people who tailgate in response) in accordance with section 8.1 of the Lemmy.world TOS. Please don’t make similar dangerous suggestions here again.

      Hey power tripping mod, don’t be an asshole.

      It’s not a brake check to lightly tap the pedal to flash the light. That’s how you communicate to person behind you.

      Why would you delete my comments in the name of danger but let everyone else who says you should drive above the speed limit stay?

        In that case you’d be communicating that you’re brakechecking them lmao. Once in a while i do a “reverse pass”, i just go in the left lane take my foot off the gas and let them pass me on the right, then i get back over.
