You are just adding factors to the scenario to justify the tailgating 

the scenario I presented didn’t have a pile of traffic that contained an ambulance with someone taking their last breath either

Okay. You can just pretend like you didn't admit to intentionally slowing down to impede traffic in the left hand lane.

Intentionally antagonizing someone who is driving aggressively is just living dumb.

If you're in the left lane, look to the right. Is there someone beside you? Are you soon overtaking someone in the right lane immediately ahead of you? No and no? Then get the fug over. That's how it's supposed to work. Doesn't matter if you're going 100.

Yeah if Im running 70 in a 65 and your in my backseat Im locking my cruise control there and if you dont get the message Ill drop to the posted speed limit.

Im at or in excess of the posted speed and have no obligation to yield the lane.

Oh good grief, man. Stop with the semantics bullshit. You clearly made your statement in the flow of a conversation talking about lollygagging in the left lane.

I used to enjoy my small four cylinder vehicle but I had to upgrade cause of slow folks who enjoy pissing people off by driving below speed limit and then speed up when you try to pass them not to let you in.  That goes for folks who enter highway at 40mph as well.

Yeah the people getting onto 485 going 35 mph is infuriating and very dangerous.  They also end up wondering why they can't get on to 485 and just pull in front of a semi truck thinking they can stop on a dime.

You must be living in Ballantyne and getting on 485 from Johnson… cause it happens there every damn time.  Someone always creates bottleneck and then merges at like 35-40mph onto highway… zero care for traffic behind.  Infuriating indeed.

Bullying the bully is quite the piece of linguistic gymnastics 

how is the person who is being intimidated by an aggressive driver actually bullying them by not giving in to the intimidation? Is that what you tell your kids? Just give the bully what they want?

 

it’s getting humorous watching the tailgaters work so hard to make others the bad guy. 

That's not what you're doing. You're intentionally using passive aggression to get them to back off, just like they're using passive aggression to get you to speed up. 

If you want to project and try to keyboard bully me, have at it. If and when I do it back to you, what's going to happen? Nothing - it's two (supposed) adults fighting like a bunch of idiots on a message board. 

Yeah, that's pretty much what happens on the road. Two idiots going at it. Why not let it be just one idiot? I'm more than happy to let you response a bunch of angry nonsense. Please, do it. See if you can bait me. I bet you can't.

I always thought they should have one thing on highway etiquette and safety in the driver's ed programs.  Doesn't even need to be on the actual exam.  But if people just learned the basics at 15/16, after 10-20 years I think there would be enough of them on the road to help.

Not just what the lanes are for but how to (and not to) drive with semi trucks.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol well that kinda ended up working out in the end, even though I still don't have my jersey yet. Was supposed to ship by tomorrow this time, but just got another email saying it was delayed another 3 weeks and because it's been delayed so long, I had to tell them to keep the order or cancel it, but gave me a 25% off my next order as an apology. Well, my original fear came true and they are now selling the FUSE version (but still not the Blue unfortunately) before the one I ordered was ever shipped. But that's awesome, because I was able to use that coupon to order the FUSE instead and then cancelled the original order.  So I got the jersey I wanted for only $6.30 more than the crappier version costs, and it also says it will be shipped immediately and get here early next week, or 2 weeks before the other was now supposed to be shipped out.

      I've watched this and think we are well underway.  Believe it or not, Bryce is a big part of this.  The way he bounced back with such grace.  And we've got a lot of young players who want to make their mark, Dave is giving them an opportunity.  I loved our draft.  I like the number of guys we brought in, and they will help build the culture we want under Dave.  We're getting closer, and I think we'll see more wins this year than most of the board. The right culture breeds winning, and winning builds the right culture.  Imho, it's coming.

      As others have said it's both. One creates the other. But it also takes time sometimes years. And there have been teams lately with new car smell coaching staffs that looked like they were putting it together quickly but things came crashing back down to Earth. Sustainability is the key. For that to happen the meddling of our owners has to stop and they cannot be tempted to return to their ways over any bump in the road either.
