That's fair enough I suppose.

I'm thinking safety gap and some prick who pulls into it and
causes ME to have to move back because of his stupidity.

Same could apply here as for your argument there must be more
than one lane of traffic and you must be in the slow lane to
start with.

It can help, however, it can be used maliciously also.

IOW pull out in front of people and make them slow down for you because
you're an impatient dickhead behind the wheel.

Yep, you think right. Agressive dickheadedness for no good reason other then
impatience.

Yep, but they think they own the road because they think they have a fast
car and must drive accordingly (and not according to conditions)

And often is.

Benefit of the doubt was given here, that *through* traffic
was not hampered. :-)

Thankyou. Don't know where anyone gets the idea that I'm some rocket
pilot zipping in and out of traffic and annoying other drivers like a
fly randomly buzzing around, but oh well.

Rather than pull apart both your posts (you and Feral) and start a nit-
picking session, I'll just say obviously my comments can be taken out
of context and twisted into evil deeds, but I get the strong feeling
you know where I'm coming from (i.e. good intentions) so I'll leave it
at that.
