Literally none of this is relevant to my point at all and the fact I can understand that passing on a highway doesn't "requires quick acceleration & directional changes followed by a possible need to slowdown abruptly" doesn't mean I'm going to pass when things look like the original picture.

Why not?

I mean, all you’ve done here is to make some kind of argument about passing in hazardous conditions. And you did it as a comment to a warning against doing just that. And now you say you wouldn’t pass if it looked like the picture.

It doesn't make sense to say it's hazardous because passing is an aggressive move when passing on a highway doesn't inherently require aggressive driving. Pass there would be dangerous even if you don't do anything of the things I quoted. It's hazardous because that lane is a slippery slush box, regardless of how you're driving in it.

I probably should've clarified more in my original post, but still.
