Charlotte drivers…

[Lame Duck]

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.

What did you mean by "yielding the lane"?

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.
