- Gratuitous roadhogging is worse, because it creates the conditions under
- which people are tempted to tailgate. Roadhogs and left-lane bandits
- deserve to be run off the road, pulled from their vehicles and summarily
- disembowled.
-
- What we need is a highway version of the Ton Tons Macoutes to handle such
- people. After a few of these BDIDs are yanked from their vehicles, hacked
- up with machetes and left lying at the roadside as a warning to others,
- word will eventually get around that impeding the flow of traffic is perhaps
- not a Good Idea.
