I would agree with this definition.

Here in SoCal, we have beattiful six-lane roads with 55 MPH speed
limits - and a bunch of MORON SLOTHS who never make it up beyond 35 or
40 MPH. For example, the Sloth Coasters let off the gas because they
see a red light a half-mile away (never realizing it is impossible to
"time" a sensor-controlled traffic signal, and that the sooner a
vehicle arrives at the sensor loop the sooner the light will change).

Unfortunately, lack of consideration seems to go hand-in-hand with
Sloth. If these people gave a **** about anyone but themselves, they
would confine their Sloth behavior to the appropriate lane and/or take
reasonable steps to avoid needlessly blocking other traffic. But you
almost never see this kind of genuine courtesy on the roads; what you
see instead is a Sloth Merger demanding "courtesy" from everyone else,
expecting to be "let in" when they try to merge into a 75 MPH traffic
stream at 40 MPH.
