    For every 1 speeder who’s trying to reach the ER in time to save their friends life, there are 10,000 deaths caused by speeding.

    Give me a break with this bullshit second hand tale. I’m not going to treat tailgaters like they are on their way to save a life. They take lives.

      This wasn’t a typical driver in an urban environment, again thus was the middle of nowhere with low traffic. They also, again, weren’t trying to reach the hospital, they were being instructed to meet medical staff halfway as the dispatcher and emts determined that was the best course of action.

      But it’s obviously that you’d rather feel morally superior than compassionate for someone trying to save a life; and you clearly have experience making these kinds of judgement calls, right? What a sad, sad person you must be.

        Oh boo hoo HOOOOOO!!

        There is no way to lane block someone on a remote rural road. If you’re racing to save a life you just fucking pass in the other lane.

        There’s no moral superiority about this. Your anecdote is just bullshit and doesn’t change the fact that driving fast and tailgating causes more accidents than it saves lives.
