Worse. He is claiming that some gun toting psychopath's right to murder you is more important than your right to live.

Who needs to breathe deeply? You compare a mother bear's right to protect her cubs and a [would-be] murderer's response to driving they do not like?

What is to stop the gun-toting psychopath from disliking your driving or your car or your haircut or that you got pickles on your burger?

What part of [murderous] psychopath do you not understand?

What is to protect you from murderous psychopaths while the rest of us are exposing ourselves by driving how we feel most comfortable?

Well, that is not as bad an example, but while I have seen atrocious drivers, I have never seen anyone refuse to make way for emergency vehicles. It undoubtedly happens, but if one car in a hundred refuse to move, the emergency vehicles should still get through.

If it happens to you, let us know, and we will chip in for some pretty flowers!

By the way, isn't it a law in many places that you need to pull over if there are x cars behind you? As I recall, I determined this is not the law in Arizona, but everywhere I drive has regular places to pass, although cars still cross the double yellow to get around me.
