Your argument is unsupportable.
Compliance with the law is how the system is intended and designed to work. The intent is to speed and smooth traffic flow and maximize throughput and safety. With 90% of drivers using their "own" systems traffic gets more f***ed up than if everyone followed the same system.
Excessive speeding is the ultimate and most common MFFY behavior that f***s up traffic and demonstrates a lack of concern for other drivers, not my compliance with the law. I don't treat people horribly using the law as my sword. I always yield the right-of-way but you misinterpret that as f***ing over the drivers behind me. Well, chances are very good, they're excessive speeders. They have no right to speed therefore they probably have no right to be in their position behind me. I have every right to obey the law and let traffic sort itself out.
When it's that many people being "sloth-like"... it's not them, it's you. And trucks are how everything you own got to the store so you could buy it; Your toilet, your home, your underwear and socks. You'd unpleasant woman about trucks if they were going "too fast" and you unpleasant woman about trucks because they're going too slow. Complaining about trucks is like complaining about snow.
I don't know WTF you're talking about! Any notion that I commit those actions, endorse or encourage them is entirely your misinterpretation of something I've posted, I'm sure. But I can't imagine what...
Bull. Run your cadence up to 110 and get around 'em.
You exagerrate.
Sloth is a subjective term.
My mistake then.
This isn't rec.bicycle. This is rec.auto. Traffic as it applies to bikes is often not the same as for motorized vehicles. If it's the same in your experience then there's too much traffic to make a difference. I rode my bike all over Oahu and in town I could easily mirror or outpace traffic.
Excessive speeders arrive at intersections before planned. Traffic naturally slows as some turn whether in an intersection or not. Traffic backs up as people slow to turn. The unexpected number of vehicles at certain points exceeds the road capacity. Again, when there are *so many* sloths... it's time to reevaluate *your* perspective.
That's because I don't. And neither do you. If you'll notice... your complaints are ALL about your travel problems. I don't delay traffic. I KRETP and drive at or about the limit. If that delays someone that's their tough poo.
A New Category of Sloth 3328P) It is just dumb luck if you keep doing it and don't run across the eventual psychotic which will not back down. I've done these highway duels myself. Its not something I recommend...
Exagerration to the ridiculous. Irrelevant.
WHO says I proceed through intersections at bicycle speed? WHO says I don't pay attention...? You're imagining and exagerrating again.
Duh. The volume of traffic in Chicago is the most influential factor, not sloths. But you can't vent your anger at "volume" so you choose imaginary sloths. If that makes you feel better, and it obviously doesn't, have at it.
You misinterpret and exagerrate and imagine...
But you have my sincerest sympathy... living in Chicago... -----
