    False, it is actually the case that collisions are LESS deadly at slower speeds. I know it’s difficult to wrap your mind around, but science is sometimes unintuitive!

        I was trying to explain this to the officer the other day when he caught me playing on my phone and not even bothering to hold the steering wheel

      They’re less deadly, but this maneuver makes them more likely. Overall, it’s more dangerous.

        It’s not if people aren’t speeding. You’re just victim blaming. If a car has low visibility and it hits someone, you wouldn’t say, well they should just get out of the way, you’d blame the low visibility. Same situation. If people were not driving recklessly in the left lane, then it wouldn’t be a problem that people are also driving normally in the left lane.

        Don’t bother replying to this I’m not reading this thread anymore.

          but they ARE speeding. That’s why they’re in the fast lane. Parking there with speeders pointed at your ass is a bad idea, regardless of your personal moral stance on driving.

          You’ll be right, but you’ll be dead.

            If they are speedng then they are breaking the law. Just like someone being in the passing lane while not passing.
