When I'm out walking (neighborhood, no sidewalks) I wish drivers would drive the speed limit and get by me faster.

The problem drivers slow down on approach and then slow down some more - for no meaningfully useful reason at all. They turned a brief, predictable event into a longer and now unpredictable one.

At night, the worst of them decide to blaze the landscape with super high-beams; their pointless slowness makes that experience last as long as possible.

I feel much safer around 8 seconds of competent driving than I do with 40 seconds of behavior that easily passes for creepy hostility.

that's a very good point IMO
