Hey Brian, if you don't like how I drive, stay off the sidewalks!

I was attempting a legal maneuver on a highway in a location that the road department felt a pass was safe which endangered nobody until some other genius thought he needed to intervene in my pass and endangered everybody in the vicinity. I depended on nobody to change their speed to make it safely.

I don't happen to think it is particularly safe to follow a line of unskilled drivers who are more likely to do something stupid.

On a road with a long line of slow moving cars with lots of traffic I don't bother passing unless there is a good chance to actually benefit. when I was younger I would pass whenever it was possible just for the sport of it but not so much anymore.

I am always more cautious with the Mrs. in the car since she can get frightened even if there is not imminent danger because she cannot know what I see and don't see.
