barleycorn Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 It is a matter of morals and decency; you're free to overtake a slow moving vehicle that just happens to contain a coffin on its way to a funeral with the family in a seperate vehicle right behind, thats your prerogative, but people will make judgment on you. On what basis is that judgement being made? What exactly is immoral and indecent about overtaking a hearse. Why exactly should grieving relatives be offended? Which part of a car driving past do you think is offensive? jb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just generally not the done thing. I know there is a concerted effort by the left to remove all the sentimentality from the issue of death, but it wont catch on.

barleycorn Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Why is it insensitive? What if I deviated from my route to get ahead would that also be insensitive as the outcome is the same? Or would that be OK as I haven't actually passed the hearse? jb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Spyda Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 You're saying it's wrong, but you are yet to answer the 'why'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC Spyda Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 If you can't say why, just say so. There's no harm in not having an answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balpin Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 You're saying it's wrong, but you are yet to answer the 'why'. If you, and some others on here dont know the answer, then no ammount of explanation will do any good. It is called respect, for yourself, and your fellow man. If you dont have that, then you are a lost cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see why anyone would refuse to answer it unless they don't have an aswer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcoblog Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Personally, I think if the driver of the hearse feels the need to drive so slowly, he should do the decent thing and pull over to allow the backlog of traffic to overtake ... just like farmers do in their tractors. Maybe he needs one of these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is about morals and decency; what is moral and decent I suppose is a subjective matter, so asking me why is a bit of a waste of time as I'm only giving you my opinion.
