    This is not a great example of the is/ought problem. My point was the argument you presented was illogical.The second last section didn’t match the expectations the last section placed upon the drivers.

    If your argument lays expectations upon one party on the road, then the expectation need be applied across all parties.

    The argument held the person in front to a higher standard than the frustrated person behind, when they are actually held to the same standard, as it is assumed they have relatively similar abilities to use a motor vehicle on the concerned roads.

    Reread it, it is a separate point from the first point i made at the beginning of that comment.

    While the majority of people stay within the law (+/- 10%) there are enough people behaving badly on the roads that you should always take that into consideration.

    This is an example of an is/oughta. I don’t disagree, defensive driving and all that, but it is an is/oughta.

    Just to clarify, you don’t think it is ok to sit in lane 2 or 3 at the speed limit if there is room to move over ? Not doing so is also illegal in the UK.

    Depends on the laws dictating the particular roadway. There is a road ettiquette, around moving over if someone comes up behind you, that some people believe is as important as the rules, that isn’t.
