It's a freeway. Everyone is going the same direction. Speed differential is what matters, and it was only around 45mph. You drive 45mph past parked cars all the time and don't blink an eye. All it takes is one parked driver to pull out and it's all over for you, apparently.
You people making shit up is the problem. You're literally sitting there imagining scenarios where you can feel threatened by a man sitting on a 400 - 500 pound machine, who is traveling at 45mph relative to you. You're ignoring the actual situation being discussed and inventing scenarios in your head so that you can feel threatened and express your righteous indignation while clutching your pearls. It's really weird.
no, they're imagining scenarios where some selfish prick who can't stand to wait in traffic like a normal human with the rest of the normal humans SPEEDS THROUGH A CLOT OF MULTI THOUSAND POUND VEHICLES like a dumbfuck. You're inventing reasons why people shouldn't care when you murder people with your 500lbs of crotch rocket, starting with yourself but often involving innocent people in your carnage.
grow the fuck up.
this is the fuckhead you're defending: https://nypost.com/2026/08/30/us-news/florida-deputy-of-the-year-resigns-after-claims-he-tracked-ex-with-flock-cameras-used-n-word-did-nazi-salute/
Comparing parked cars and cars moving at ~65mph on the highway is pants-on-head stupid
Parked cars enter the travel lane faster than cars on the highway change lanes. Travel speed is irrelevant, rate of change is. Rotating a car 30deg off parallel to leave a space is a faster action. In both situations, I'd be riding the far side of the lane to give as much berth as I can.
I'm not your prior commenter. And no, I dont fly past traffic like that because there's always a high likelihood of someone jumping out into the faster lane. "Open lane pattern" is something to look for. But to not realize how often and how quickly parked cars leave parking spaces is pants-on-head blind
I can't believe you actually think passing parked cars at 45mph is more dangerous than passing someone on the highway doing 45 over the limit. Like I'm actually speechless
