This PSA brought to you by several would-be assassins who tried to wave me in front of speeding cars in the last month and who will have to try harder next time.

When driving don't be nice. Be predictable.

When driving, being predictable is being nice. Being nice is an accident waiting to happen.

... That sounded better in my head.

I'm taking a Smith system training and this is said constantly.

Half the people who wave you through have weird little control fetishes. They're not being polite, they're pursuing feelings of power. They're the same people driving 5 mph under the speed limit in the passing lane to "keep other people from speeding".

Well that’s certainly one of the takes of all time

I didn't just pull it out of my ass, it's a perspective I've seen espoused on this very platform, and also on Reddit.
