Sloth driver almost dies 3010

Oh, so it's ok to hold up tens of people behind you to let one into the stream?

No. I think it's 'the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few' Stopping the entire traffic stream for one person is silly.

I've had people like you in front of me, who decided to let someone go in front. First, it takes 20 seconds for that person to pull out.

On several occasions I have had other drivers become enraged because I wouldn't let them take my right of way as enablers and drivers who show "consideration" and other preachers of "just let them do it" had allowed them to so many times that they had built a sense of enbreastlement where the rules of the road clearly state they have none.
