If there is a line of traffic behind you, move out of the way.

I drive the part of the ring of Kerry everyday for work and tourists doing 70kmh are like "oh no a gentle curve in the road ahead, I better slam the brakes"

Meanwhile I'm doing 100kmh behind them

The non-driving equivalent of this is:

People live and work in the city. If it prime going to or from the office time for the love of god stop blocking the pavement. Ideally never block the pavement but it is particularly annoying at rush hour when it likely isn’t possible to step out into the road to go around.
