My senior year of high school someone popped a balloon in the hallway. This is important because no ones reaction was to laugh it off. We all hit the ground. Someone dropped a textbook on the tile floor. No ones first instinct was to ignore it. Instead we looked for hiding places and exits. The safety promised by adults is useless if no one has ever felt truly safe.

She has a point

There are two situations in which I make extremely sure I’m going precisely at or below the speed limit:

  • I see a cop
  • Some asshole is tailgating me

This is both spiteful AND practical, because you can’t control whether or not they give you a safe following distance for the speed you’re travelling, but you CAN reduce the speed you both have to travel, having the triple benefit of
 A) increasing the likelihood that they’ll have enough time to stop without rear-ending you.
 B) lowering the speed of any possible collision and thus the severity and
 C) Pissing the fucker the fuck off.

I feel so valid now

I try to be patient because sometimes I feel like something must be wrong like they REALLY have to poop, but 9/10 times you just get that asshole vibe, you know? And that’s when you give ‘em the brakes. Multiple times if necessary.

@naamahdarling, given your hypothetical situation – why not both reasons? 😀
