If anyone behind has lights or high beams that are blinding my rear view and door mirrors, I will drive painfully slow.

These people are slightly worse than pit owners...slightly.

It depends upon my mood at the time as to which I deploy.

I see you must have been on the receiving end . Turn about is FairPlay is it not?

If you are not first, you are last.

A couple years ago I had a guy tailgating me right on my arse on a one lane rd. I was Doing 5 over. So I brake checked him. When it opened up and got to a red light he pulled up next to me trying to fight me on the highway. Kicker is he had like a 5-6 year old daughter with him. I told him he was setting a great example for his daughter. He got mad because I wouldn’t fight him, threw a drink at my car and sped off. I still wonder how screwed up that little girl probably is being raised by a father like that.

A couple of pennies out of the sunroof should take care of a tailgater

I hate followers. They HAVE to be behind another car.

They ride my arse, I switch lanes since they won’t pass me. Then they slow down or go the same speed.

Why are you riding my arse if you don’t want to pass??

Ive done quite a bit of cross country driving. Some people are relative drivers, meaning the way they drive is relative to how the drivers around them are driving. Usually women.

Good drivers drive independently and react to the other cars around them example: using cruise control and trying to maintain a consistent speed. Relative drivers unconsciously always speed up to the car in front of them. When you move over to let them pass, they no longer have a pace car in front of them and they dont know what to do. If you maintain a consistent speed on cruise control, youll usually pass these people and then be passed by these people multiple times over a 30 mileish stretch of highway.

Lol great excuse how convenient

Lifted trucks and 4-cylinder shitboxes account for 90% of problems on the highway. They drive like their vehicles are made for the Autobahn, which is far from reality.

Not difficult to see why. For most people driving those vehicles, it's pretty much all they've got. Their identity is in that vehicle, and all of their self-esteem comes from showing you it's better than whatever you're driving.

Being the landed gentry most of them are, you are failing to understand that they need that truck to transport that lone board hanging out the back in order to not repair their Lennar shanty. It’s like buying a boat without having waterfront. What is the point?
