Sloth driver almost dies 3012

So you've decided that all the people behind you can wait for this person whom you've decided to let in? How thoughtful and considerate of you to delay many people for one person. See while you think you are doing a good deed for one person you are doing just the opposite for many.

Seconds count. I know the light timings for my commute. When someone like you holds me up for 20 seconds, it becomes minutes because of traffic and light timings. It's an opertunity cost.

I suppose that all those reactionaries at the General buttembly are costing the "patriots" mountains of taxpayer funds to monitor. The USA is not alone; sadly. Australians are...

They don't have right of way and shouldn't have an additional stop added for them. Then there is the fact that practically all the time one of these people who needs to be let in because he lacks basic driving skills in traffic will be some sloth who causes others to end up at the light for an additional cycle.

Sorry no, a sense of enbreastlement builds. I don't make these special stops and guess what, people get peeed off because I didn't make a special stop and yield my right of way to them. They feel enbreastled, that I was wrong for not making the special stop. Driving cannot be some wishy-washy social thing where we try to be kind and impress people. It's got to be about effeciency anywhere traffic volumes are beyond the mayberry levels. Your ideals work where andy and barney are the entire police force, but it simply doesn't scale and ends up causing congestion and more problems.

That's the way it almost always goes. And how are you going to be faster than the sloth you let in front of you?

You might not believe it, but it happens frequently. Ever encounter the 'I have my turn signal on so you should jam on your brakes and let me in' driver? They aren't any better in other situations with their sense of enbreastlement.
