This Clover – a fuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhttttball fan – squatted in the left (the passing) lane, exactly matching the speed of the car to its right. It would neither speed up nor slow down, creating a rolling roadblock and making it impossible for anyone to get by:
These people are like chunks of fat in your arteries. They block the flow.
What is their malfunction? Why do they refuse to do the courteous thing and move over? What is the skin off their nose?
The answer is they get a little charge out of using their car to control you. To hassle you.
These are the same “types” you have to deal with at the DMV, or at your HOA.
I think some of these folks see it as their job to make sure you don’t go over the speed limit. They do everything they can to ensure that the limit is enforced!
“You must obey!” seems to be their mantra. Instead of using a gun to gain compliance, they use their cars.
I see it all the time here in Utah.
One difference about the HOA – you chose to live under its jurisdiction. I would rather live in my car than submit to an HOA, none of which would let me live the way I want to.
Either doing it on purpose: To annoy and/or control those behind them
or
Oblivious to the vehicles behind them which indicates a lack of situational awareness.
I am not sure which is worse, but it matters little to those caught behind the road block.
Likely oblivious. Note clover was just behind the car in the right lane, making it much harder for the driver to see him/her.
Stupid. Untrained. Likely distracted by the sailfone.
The former is worse. Purposely being a jerk is worse than just not knowing how to drive.
