I suspect even being aware of the driveways discussed in the prior posts just isn't something that happens all that often for motorcades or pace lines. Perhaps my view of human nature is a more positive one, but I see no intended malice.
A pace line is not a funeral or government motorcade. One wouldn't block driveways with a family reunion driving out to the lake for example. Your opinion is evidently that they aren't even aware of it. That doesn't really make sense, unless it's the pack mentality thing again. How could you be aware of it cycling alone and not aware of it in a group, were that not so? It really is irrelevant you know, because cars pulling out aren't going to split up the pack at the relatively slow speeds after the light. I still don't get this mind-set.
