Do you want to get to your destination safe and on time, or do you want to win an imaginary pissing contest through acts of pretty aggression dammit!? Of course you live in Canada. American drivers are either raging assholes or distracted ballistic missiles, sometimes both at once.
Um, how much do you think even twenty car lengths is going to add to your trip? More than gridlock?
I think if people knew and understood that driving politely improved everyone’s travel time, they still wouldn’t do it, because they wouldn’t believe anyone else would do it, and they don’t want to be the “sucker” losing a non-existent competition to be first in line for the next red light.
What I really love is when someone drives in two lanes to prevent anyone from passing them. /s
