You know, I get it, they're probably just an asshole. Maybe they're having an emergency, though. How about just letting them get around in case there is a good reason for driving recklessly? Or maybe just in case they're nuts enough to make things violent?
I mean, the text say the guy honked for going "70 in a 50".
If you take it at face value, the person posting is the asshole and a terrible driver endangering everybody on the road.
She's taking selfies while driving, clearly she's the better person
I could be wrong but it looks like a dual direction dash cam. Since it’s the internet, the text and pic might have never been related. Also, the person doing over 70 in a 50 couldn’t overtake at 20? The whole thing seems like rage bait.
The other person would have to be doing 70 as well, in order to honk at them.
Sure. There can be more than one terrible driver endangering everybody on the road at the same time.
I'm constantly, endlessly disappointed at how hard it is for human brains to accept that two people disagreeing with each other can both be wrong.
The only thing I was in disagreement over was that you said "was the asshole".
When they were both assholes all along.
The destination was the assholes we met all along.
I mean, fair enough, on a technicality at least.
Could've honked while being overtaken
And the other guy is the bigger asshole for honking at the poster for going too slowly when she's doing 20 over.
If you take it all at face value, that is.
This.
Lived in Korea for awhile, and they generally seem to not have this kind of vindictiveness or self-righteousness. They're usually like, "I dunno. Either they got a reason, or it's not worth the effort for me to do something about it."
That said, social pressure is much more effective here, so the vast majority of people fall in line. See COVID
