That all depends on what you actually mean by “no other proximate reason”.
I think we all agree that the police should take immediate action if someone is driving the wrong direction against traffic, even if they’re doing nothing else wrong and are driving the posted speed limit, to take an absolutely obvious example.
- Comment on Welcome to petty lane 1 week ago:
The argument can literally be made that you’re driving dangerously no matter how fast you go.
Well, that’s certainly true also in every jurisdiction I’m familiar with, as it should be, common sense, really.
- Comment on Welcome to petty lane 1 week ago:
Where I live there are only upper speed limits on most roads except highways. On other roads you can drive as slowly as you want,
Are you sure that you really don’t have any traffic rules against causing a hazard or impeding traffic flow by being too slow? That seems both unusual and unsafe to me.
- Comment on Welcome to petty lane 1 week ago:
There are speed limits in both directions, in every jurisdiction I’m familiar with it’s illegal to drive both too fast and too slow, to exceed the posted speed limit or to drive so slowly that it impedes other traffic.

There is a certain poetic glimmer in reading the phrase “documents of magnificent verbosity that accomplish precisely nothing” in a document of magnificent verbosity that accomplishes precisely nothing.

Some brilliant people invented photoshop
So the real question is whether Photoshop might ever have become successful, if Adobe hadn’t bought it.
