Because you're not going to pay for my hiked insurance premiums and the cost of a speeding ticket.
I reject your flawed reasoning. What you said is exactly how liberals think.
As I understand it, you believe people make wrong choices, and others have to pay for their wrong choices, so you’re going to take it upon yourself to force your own choices upon them whenever you can.
Congrats. You’ve just (re)invented Obamacare.
Fact is, you can choose which company you buy your insurance from, or you may be in a state where you can choose not to buy insurance altogether. If you aren’t, then that’s something to take up with your government, not me.
I am not forcing you to pay what you pay for insurance. In fact, my driving record is PERFECT, without a single moving violation or citation of any kind, so I don’t cost you in any way. I’m in the lowest cost insurance bracket, I’m married, have perfect credit, yada, yada, yada.
I’m an insurer’s dream, because I’m all premiums and never make a claim. And somehow, I did this all without you or anyone else driving in front of me for my own good. Because once again, you have no idea what’s going on in the car behind you. It isn’t your business!
I paid for the roads with my taxes too. It is not your job to set the speed limits. And I can’t believe that your little philosophy of keeping people “safe” overrides all other concerns of the people in the car behind you, some of which, as I’ve illustrated, could be in a life-or-death situation that’s exacerbated by your meddling philosophy. You didn’t even acknowledge the previous situation with my wife’s daughter. Why is that?
Unbelieveable. Your driving stunts (and that’s exactly what they are, as you brag smugly about it) might seem trivial to you, but perhaps you’ve never seen the study a few years back that found the slowest 5% of drivers on urban streets and highways are involved in more accidents than those who drive at any other speed? http://www.ibiblio.org/rdu/sl-irre0.html You realize your actions are dangerous to others, right?
The same people who would never be so rude as to stand in line at McDonalds taking forever to order a damn quarter pounder think nothing of going out and attempting to destroy the efficiency of the highway system, piling up traffic behind them a mile long, and causing dangerous situations. And then, come in here and brag about it, as if they’re a hero!
As I said before, don’t do me any favors. Drive with the flow of traffic if you really want us to be safe.
