There is also driver psychology. A driver who feels that it is reasonable and prudent to be driving at 70 in a 50 will become infuriated if he is stuck behind drivers doing 45-50. Especially when they know they are blocked because of bad driving rather than constraints in infrastructure or from heavy traffic. Nothing more frustrating than seeing two people driving beside each other for an extended period with a clear road ahead. This leads to rash moves like unsafe passing, or tailgating.
The *real* solution is to reduce speed variances within lanes and drive in a manner that keeps the roads clear for faster traffic.

You mean
I would agree we should have more of those placed around our streets and police to enforce that
(you could have saved pages and pages of arguments and replies by just getting straight to the point instead of looking like a douche...)

You had no idea what kind of person they were, dont judge them on this ONE MATTER. We all made mistakes, but we are all alive now meaning we didnt pay for it with our LIFE. The driver was like a little brother to me, i am still very very sad because of this accident, and i still will be even years after. I DO NOT appreciate you calling him names like that, I think it's very rude to do so. I DEMAND, STRONGLY DEMAND an apology from you, or I shall be visiting your company to have a little chat with your boss about this matter. Please, DO NOT disrespect the DECEASED, they may not mean anything to you, but they mean everything to us!!!

sorry for your loss, you're very new around here, likely the first time you were on RS; it hurts to read comments but you'll have to realize that's how the online community is, especially so on this website... although it's actually been very tame compared to usual, since so many people knew the deceased; your best bet would be to just ignore the disrespectful comments, to poke at it would just be opening a can of worms; that's the internet for you
