Different styles of driving *are* accomodated, as are different modes
of transport and indeed different models of car. Since you
(presumably) drive an Audi, do you exect that everyone drives one
since that is your preference? Do you think people that drive other
models are wrong? Do you think motorbikes should be outlawed too?

Incidentally, it speaks volumes that you've bailed out of replying to
any message of mine, yet you're still sniping and whining elsewhere.

You mean like driving 5 under in a passing lane? Or those folks who
swing wide for right turns, blocking two lanes? Folks who stop
needlessly on on-ramps, because they can't figure out how to merge?
Dream up some other legal, but discourteous traffic behavior that suits
the scenario. There are probably thousands. But you get the point.

Unlike you, I support courtesy. You support "if it feels good, do it -
to hell with the rest of you."

MFFY.

It speaks volumes that you are running around a.a.a. humping my posts
trying to goad me into a flamewar. Find another hobby.

I appreciate posting styles that are first and foremost readable. And
secondly logical.

It's also kind of you not to block the passing lane. When I drive long
distances, I always appreciate courteous driving by folks, and I try
and repay the favor by doing likewise.

Cheers!

Why not just be an individualist and follow your own inclination, rather
than what the net police tell you??
