This PSA brought to you by several would-be assassins who tried to wave me in front of speeding cars in the last month and who will have to try harder next time.

    Driving is about predictability. You don’t do that bullshit in the first place. Same way with “slowing down for people getting on the highway.” It’s their responsibility to speed up to highway speeds. If they aren’t going fast enough by the time they need to enter, they yield, not you.

      If they aren’t going fast enough by the time they need to enter, they yield, not you cut across the stripes, nearly hit the impact attenuator, and run the car behind you into the next lane.

      For what it’s worth, I agree with you. Safe driving is about being predictable. But defensive driving is about predicting what others are likely to do. And oftentimes, the answer to “what is this driver near me about to do” is “attempt negligent vehicular manslaughter.”
