I don't assume people on the road are considerate, attentive or concerned with safety because observation has proven reliable. I don't feel I have an obligation to move out of another car's way even though I often do for safety sake. That doesn't mean I'm not compassionate and courteous. You are framing this incorrectly that the two are mutually exclusive. I can be a overly cautious (read cynical) defensive driver and courteous, which is exactly the opposite of the characterization you're making of me. Never did I state it's a race, or that I'm prone to speeding. If you're only alarm is that I'm characterizing drivers by not assuming we're all just flowing along the same path safely and attentively to get to our respective destinations, it's accurate, and very naive of you to hold that position.
"Character assassination?" Oh my. What, are you running for political office? Relax, man. Christians and their persecution complex. Wow. You've come off as pretty angry and irritable about other people on the road throughout this entire conversation; I'm just going off of what I'm reading. You come off as a soccer dad with road rage.
Also, I don't ASSUME people are going to do anything on the road and neither should you, I keep my eyes open and stay alert; constantly watching everyone. However, I've found most people are driving just fine, for the most part. If it tickles your clit to call that "naive," then cool, I don't really care. I've never been in a single accident or received a single speeding ticket in my life.
Did get a parking ticket once. Oh well. Drive safe bud.
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
