Well they shouldn't, and they're fuckwits who wish to needlessly make life harder for other motorists. In other words, they're like you.

"due consideration for others" works both ways. Your posts elsewhere show that you think that it's not reasonable to complain about being obstructed by inconsiderate Micra drivers going at 35mph in NSLs and holding up long lines of traffic. This shows that, as usual, your only concern is pissing off normal, reasonable motorists who just wish to make progress. You're so unbelievably transparent (in fact you're "so unbelievably" a lot of things).
