If people tailgate me like assholes i just slow down more and have a lil giggle.

[-] Ephera@lemmy.ml 3 points 10 months ago

I mean, I've also done that at times, but it just happens so often around here. You basically can't drive more than a few minutes on a road without having someone tailgating you...

[-] Garbanzo@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I used to do that, but then my mom was in the ER and I kinda wanted to get there quickly and someone decided to play that game with me. I just get out of the way now.

Yes we never really know what someone else is up to. Often they can be straight up A-holes, but there are those in emergency situations.

When driving especially my truck and camper many were confused why I pulled over so often to let vehicles by on 2 lane roads. I slowed down in passing sections to manage traffic behind me safely to pass. They were expecting people to hold them up as it is everyone else for themselves especially when passing lanes come and the slow pokes only speed up for those. The worst are those that ride in the passing lane without moving over and get into the I'm going to show them and block them in.

I loved driving down in the states with several lanes to the highway with lanes for every speed. I could pick a lane and not hold up people that wanted to go faster than the 80 miles/hr in Texas. 80 m/hr is pretty fast for a loaded truck and camper so I was relieved I didn't need to hold up people in these situations especially people like me in my Volvo 850 T5 that have places to go!

Just go around... Tailgaters are trash, if anyone is creating a dangerous situation by following that close, i couldn't care if their entire family is in the ER. Putting other people in danger is not okay.

I assume you're saying just go around on the left, because you're driving slow in the middle lane. Correct?

[-] Garbanzo@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Sure, lemme just pass you on the right and then cut you off to get back over while you delude yourself into thinking you're not creating the unsafe situation by refusing to follow the god damned law and fucking yield. Asshole.
