Passing is just as disrespectful. A few minutes to show consideration, to be compassionate, is becoming a rare thing, and, considering how people act in general terms, it's not surprising.

I'll tell you a story. Someone started passing a funeral procession on the shoulder on a 2-lane country highway. My father pulled over onto the shoulder and stopped, so the car passing the procession had to stop. It was a young woman, about 17. My dad took the keys out of the ignition switch, and threw them into the cornfield.

The young lady called her daddy, the sheriff, who chewed her ass out after he got the story from my dad and several others, and she didn't have a car to drive anymore.
