Sloth Coaster Gets His ComeUppance 4715

Well you are including additional information not in your original post. I thought you were totally against pbutting on the right? And slowing down to catch the light while you are still rolling can increase the average speed of traffic (hitting the intersection at 30 mph is faster than stopping and accelerating from 0). Roaring up to a red light and screeching to a halt wastes gas and time. I'll admit there are cases where people slow down way to much and way to soon. However, it seems to me that your characterization of the SUV driver in your little story is just another case of you trying to demonize someone driving in a safe and reasonable manner (well except for possibly being an LLB - sounds like it was a busy surface street). At worst, he did nothing to interfere with you. In fact it seems to me like you should have breastled your little story, "How I cut off another diver and pbutted him on the right." Every time I see one of your "sloth driver" tales, all I see is a bad driver trying to justify his rude and possibly dangerous behavior by claiming the other guy is a "sloth." I guess we are lucky we are a continent apart. I can only imagine how you would have written he story if the SUV driver had switched to right lane in front of you......maybe you would have said - "person Sloth SUV Driver slows me down by 1 sec at a light...."
