      “Instead of letting the dangerous driver past me and away from me I am making the situation worse by attempting to intervene”

      Just move the fuck over and don’t subject everyone to this bs. My husband does this and twice now these psychos acted erratically and followed us home. How the fuck is it worth it? Move over let them pass and get pulled over if it’s that bad.

        What I’m hearing is “don’t dress like that if you don’t want to get assaulted”. Is that right?

        I’m going to move over. But if you’re up my ass then I need to have much farther stopping distance from the car in front of me, to account for the decrease in response time from the follower. Which means I can’t pass as quickly or get over as fast.

        Okay but they’re not. Right? Data points by themselves aren’t data. That’s why they have a different name.

        If you look at one data point, then everyone with red hair is a billionaire because I saw one once.

        Anecdotes aren’t data points either. For data points to become useful data they have to be standardised across parameters to create valid correlations. Anecdotes are not that.
