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.

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.

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.

was driving down a two lane rural highway this morning as was reminded of this thread.

 

Minding my own going 60 in the 55.

This massive Chevy rolls up behind me so close all I see is grill.

Along comes a passing zone and M firm in the right lane.  Does doofus drop over and pass me?

Nope he backs off to a solid 2 second separation.

 

500 feet after the passing zone you can imagine where he was.

Back up my ass.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
