Tell that to the truck driver. 1 km/hr faster equates to just 36 seconds saved on a 100 km trip. And to do that they cause a massive traffic jam that greatly increases the chance of accidents and delays dozens of people for several minutes each.
Why are you OK haughtily telling dozens of drivers “patience,” while ignoring the massive asocial asshole causing a huge disruption from an even greater level of impatience?
Think of where you are right now. You are not the passenger of a vehicle telling a driver to have patience. We’re specifically discussing the situation from an outside perspective. “Have patience” is useful advice for someone actively driving a car stuck behind passing trucks. It comes across as condescending when you bring it into a discussion about whether passing truck drivers are in the wrong or not.

Because I have witnessed car accidents with fatalities. Yes, the trucker is an asshole. Have patience. Get home safe.

People telling me to have patience pisses me off.
