I have to agree with Matty. S10's actions are making him a distracted driver.

I get really upset when I see folks texting and driving so much so I would "look" for them and then blow my horn. My wife pointed out you are just as distracted as them by trying to police them vs. just paying attention to your own driving. I agreed with her and now I just go about my way and stay alert to my own driving.

Doing anything other then watching the road make you a distracted driver.

S10 what you are doing makes you distracted driver. You are looking for speeders then you are trying to slow them down. Your adrenaline is going and you are focused on slowing them down vs. giving 100% of your attention to your own driving. Been there with done that I know it is dangerous.

I'm not really looking for anybody, and I certainly don't feel any adrenaline. I simply camp out in the left lane when people are trying to speed, and I keep my speed constant at 75. I don't seek them out and swerve in front of them, it's not some big battle, it's much more of a passive thing. I simply drive 75 in the left lane and those who don't like it can shove it.

But this is getting away from the crux of the argument. I'll grant you that yes I suppose there's the remote possibility that I could anger someone, thus nominally magnifying the probability that an accident occurs. While I've never encountered such a thing, rather than tempting fate, maybe I'll rethink doing that and instead just get out of the way.

But Ryan Dunn never learned from any mistake. He didn't care, he just kept doing it. It made him a real and significant threat on the roads. Now that he's gone, it's safer for everyone.

Look not to rehash a old thread but I have listen to you for nearly 6 years and 73 hundred post and I considered you one the folks I like on here (I know quit a honor!) with that said I have decent understating of your personality. With that knowledge I find it hard to beleive if a speeder is in your rear view mirror with you going 75 in the left lane that your adrenaline is not pumping and you have now become a distracted drive. I do/did the exact same thing with folks texting and driving. Both you and me are/were trying to police the roads when in reality we were becoming dangerous drivers by doing so. Good intentions on both our parts end result though was we are distracted drivers thus making us a danger to the road.

The big difference though is Ryan Dunn was a scruffy looking douche while I'm incredibly handsome.

Well if we are just going to state the obvious what is the point of this discussion, christ!
