    How do you figure? I do the same shit and take no responsibility for the stupid way the people around me will react.

    I don’t force them to illegally pass me in the shoulder… I don’t slam the gas pedal on their car and jerk their wheel into oncoming traffic in a fit of rage… They do that stuff in reaction to my very benign driving. The need for other people to drive like shitheads is not my fault.

      Sure, but you still contribute to the creation of the dangerous situation. When you bait someone you know has a short tempter into lashing out, it is ultimately their action and their responsibility, but it’s still not a good thing to do.

      Seriously, nobody cares if dead people are in the right because that won’t bring you back.

      Such a clever reply someone had already done it. The edit is totally not the same thing 👍 (edit: they ninja edited out a meme image that was basically the same as the original attempt which was a copy of another poster)
