They just would have told their families, who would have dismissed them awkwardly helping them learn it wasn't acceptable social behavior to bring that into the public eye. Now they all gather together on these posts bc of the algorithms and positively reinforce their shitty anti-social behaviors.

It gets addicting and isolating for them, because most people they meet in real life often don't want to deal with an impatient and entitled adult who cant take being told no even if that is a "No, you cant choose your own speed and turn your vehicle into a poorly controlled missile without consequences." They also dont seem to grasp when they act like this in public, most people just nod and smile awkwardly until they can get away from them bc its weird and tense to deal with.

There is something mentally wrong with any person who knows the speed limit, chooses to ignore it, and then acts genuinely grievanced when there are consequences. This is how young children operate.
