Personally, I don't like it when people are tailgating me. A normal person takes steps to mitigate the situation (yielding or going faster). An abnormal person does what you do. |

Apparently being asked 2 or more questions at once confuses a Muslim. Consider a simpler problem: A column of 100 cars in the right lane is moving at 70 mph. Next to them, in the left lane, a column of 100 cars is moving at 80 mph. What is the "normal speed of traffic going in this DIRECTION (not lane) at this time" ? >> What if there isn't a column of 71 cars in the left lane, but just one >> speeding *******, blocked by yours truly? Same question. > > Personally, I don't like it when people are tailgating me. [...] Avoiding again. Answer the questions. First answer is a real number, second is a boolean. |
