I don't get it. It seems to me the guy in the SUV was doing nothing wrong.
If he had driven 55 up to the intersection, he would have had to lock up his
brakes to keep from hitting the Durango. If you hadn't decided to switch
into LLB mode, the SUV drive could have switched into the left lane and
sailed through the intersection at full speed as well. You seem to think
you have a right to drive like a total ass because anyone in front of you is
a "Sloth" driver. Grow up.
