I share your impression, but I was also under the impression that part
of Judy's parole condition was that s/he stay more than 1/2 mile away
from any area primarily frequented by children.

I am thinking. I am not talking about people who are driving slowly becasue
of legitimate needs. I am talking about rude, incompetent, or just plain
clueless drivers who poke along on major highways 15 or 20 mph under the
posted limit (and far under the prevailing speed of traffic). Traffic would
flow much better if all drivers on a highway maintained a consistent speed
within a tightly controlled range, while mainting adequate spacing. Slow
drivers create tight packs and encourage agressive tendencies in others.

Large speed differential are undesirable. Driving too fast or too slow leads
to large speed differentials. Be consistent, recognize that slower drivers
contribute to traffic problems as well.

But you can't prove that in a court of law. The slow driver is always
gonna say something like "the guy in front of me was going slow", and
how are you gonna refute that?

Nor can you prove in a court of law that Laura Welch murdered her
boyfriend. Actually, you can't prove anything anywhere, but that's one
of the hallmarks of being a delusional twit.

Hmmmm...

How about the fact that the cop operating the radar (now, likely lidar)
gun had a clear view of the front of the slow driver's vehicle?
Indicating that there was nobody in front of him/her?
