What silly inconvinient stuff would you outlaw if you could? (lemmy.ml)

I'd outlaw sauce bottles which make getting it all out harder, especially the ones which don't have the opening at the bottom and make it impossible to put the bottle with the opening facing downwards.

Just to add, you should never have less than 1 full car length per 10mph you're traveling between you and the car in front of you. Generally it should be like, double that.

Yes, but also if you are in the left lane on a highway it's also your responsibility to get out of said lane if someone is becoming closer than this behind you.

No, it is your responsibility to get out of the passing lane once you have safely passed the traffic you are passing, provided the left lane is a passing lane. It is not a passing lane when there is a left exit ahead.

The driver behind you should never have any bearing on the decisions you make as a driver unless they've got flashing lights.

If you are passing a miles worth of traffic and someone behind you wants to pass that mile of traffic faster, move over temporarily to allow that person to pass rather than making them slow down to keep an appropriate distance.

Nope. And if you begin to tailgate, then I will make sure to increase my safety by slowing down to a safer speed.

You sound like an unsafe driver.

What you are suggesting is actually illegal in many states. If you're being overtaken while in the passing lane you are required to make way. People like you are why they had to make such laws. Quit fucking up traffic for everybody.

Didn't say anything about tailgating. You sounds like an entitled driver.

Yes you did you illiterate dolt:

Yes, but also if you are in the left lane on a highway it's also your responsibility to get out of said lane if someone is becoming closer than this behind you.

Again, it sounds like you're an unsafe driver, thinking normal and law abiding driving habits are "entitled."

Cheers. Maybe read a book.
