Tailgaters

Submitted by Anonymous on 25 December, 2007 - 11:29pm.

What is with people who want to crawl up my ass at 65 miles per hour? Are they lonely? Do they need a team leader or something? If I'm going too slow, why don't they just pass me already?!

Sure, I slow down whenever this happens, to encourage them to go by, but that makes me late to where ever I'm going, and there's always that risk of them smashing in to me as they pass, because, you know, they can't fucking drive.

I want a bumper sticker -- a big one -- that says: "IF YOU KEEP TAILGATING ME I'M JUST GOING TO SLOW DOWN EVEN MORE". I worry that many of them can't read though.

tailgating

Amen. Tailgating is NOT the answer. Who will speed up when tailgated? Not I! And if I slam on my brakes, guess whose fault it is if you hit me?

Hope you can read this.

Well get the F... out of the left lane and you won't be tailgated. Right lane for those who want to drive the speed limit. Left lane for those who want to go faster. Does that make it easier for you Johnny. Why do we have to pass you in the left lane numb nutz? Didn't anybody explain to you the concept of a two lane system? How about a two party system, everyone else and you moron? I guess we just figure we have to put our hood ornamet up your ass to get you off the phone and to the right where you belong.

Did I say I was in the left

Did I say I was in the left lane when this happens, ass eyes?

Where I live, we have so-called highways that stretch for 15 to 20 miles, with only one lane for each direction of traffic. Knumbskulls like you, rather than waiting for and using the dotted center line to go past, will, instead, lock bumpers with anybody going one mph slower than they are, and then stay there for no sensible reason. All the way from one town to the next.

When there ARE two lanes, I use the right one without fail. And yes, many people talegate there too, even when they have a whole EMPTY lane to use to go past me.

I love people who believe they're the only ones who know how to drive, and that they're justfied in anything they choose to do if they get pissed-off, regardless of how bad -- or even illegal -- their basic driving habits are.

PASSING Lane, DUH

Check your state laws! In Michigan at least the LEFT passing lane is just that--- a passing lane ---NOT a permanent travel lane. According to current Drivers Training, legally you could get pulled over for prolonged traveling in the passing lane. Hey, I'm admit I'm guilty of it, however, there is always some A*S*S...who wants to ride up mine when I'm traveling even faster than I should be in the passing lane.

passing lanes

same is true in NJ, the left lane is for passing only.

I figure if they're

I figure if they're tailgating, if they hit me, they can pay off the balance of my education loans. You wanna bang like you're at Bristol speedway, you pay the price.

Sporting approach

I just carry a pair of golf balls in the pocket of my motorcycle jacket. Whenever they happen to fall out of my pocket they always bounce to tailgater windshield level. It only happens when they get REAL close because the sound of screaching tires is a little un-nerving.
