heheh, actually no, Insurance companies are cracking down on this. Legally, yes they are causing the accident. Who is going to pay for the accident? Probably your insurance as you slammed on the brakes in a moving traffic situation. If there is an impediment in the roadway, a traffic light, stop sign or whatever, they will be liable.

Why, if someone is obviously coming up behind you and going faster than you, would you not move into the right lane and let them pass? I have never understood this. Just get out of their way and then continue on with your life. Bam, everyone's happy. Does it really take that much effort to turn on your turn signal for 2 seconds and make a slight right hand movement with your wheel?

To understand it, you have to understand how a leftist thinks. They believe it is ok for them to make this decision for you because they clearly know better that you.

Aren't you glad we have these people protecting mere mortals such as us?

Easy. If I have to slow down and merge into slower traffic on my right to do so, I'm not inclined to do it. I'll wait until I've finished passing the line of cars to my right. This is often the scenario.

If I can move over without having to slow down, I do. Otherwise, why is MY inconvenience less important than THEIRS?
