Default i hate them

i hate ****ty drivers.

twice today people tailgate me like idiots.

1st, i was in a bmw 330ci this gay *** in a acura TL (i think, it was night so im just judging by the shape of his headlights) starts tailgating me, there is a car in front of me so i cant do anything. The car in front of me turns off, so i down shift and smoke his *** ( and i did smoke him because i could tell he was trying to catch up, it wasnt one of those ricer races where one guys gunning it and the other doesnt know whats going on) Then i had to slow down because i came behind another car, and the *** starts tailgating me again... wow.


then i get home and my dad takes the 330ci to teh store and i go out in a neon srt-4. On my way back home, im driving, and this ****ing SUV starts tail gating me with his high beams on and ****. There was a car in front of me so i start driving real slow to get some space, and then gun it. This one wasnt a race cuz the other car was a SUV i was just trying to get away from the *******. Within a few seconds im right behind the car in front of me, and the SUV is like 2 bus lengths back. 15 seconds later the *** catches up and starts doing the same thing.


GAAAAAAAH i just wanna get out of the car and go punch some drivers in the mouth.

you have no idea how many jagoffs i run into every day that do that. Apparently doing the speed limit or 5 over is not enough? I go 50 in a 45 and people pile up behind me and fly past me looking at me like i'm an idiot.


I'm waiting for the day when they book around me and get pulled over

I dunno if I would want to risk having my mustang get hit by a dumba$s by brake checking him. Who knows if they might just hit and run or not have insurance.

I dont brake check, just because I am afraid they wont be able to stop, but I simply take my foot off the gas and allow the car to slow down. Then they either get the point, or try to pass, and I smoke them. Then repeat as necessary.

I have such a bad temper about that stuff, how does he expect you to go faster when blocked in? Brake checking used to be an option for me, but I'm getter older now, I turn 40 this July. I've taken many long trips on the interstate, and have had this problem a lot. Despite my old age I still have an ego and hate to give in to a tailgater, especially after I proved I can blow him away.

What I've learned to do is give in and let them pass. It's painful for a couple of seconds, but then you can feel relaxed. You are now in power. You can be the a-hole and tailgate if you choose to (I choose not to), or you can lay back a little, wait for traffic to open up, and smoke him again. Or you can just focus on your stereo and forget about him. I know it's hard in the heat of the moment, but I think a lot of the road rage incidents can be curbed if people just think ahead.

I think that going 5 over the speed limit is a reasonable thing to do (especially if you can't afford a ticket like me), but if there are people that are all going the same speed 3 wide or however many lanes there is, then it causes an inconvenience to the people who might be in a hurry somewhere. Personally I think the left lane should always be reserved as the fast lane and people who go the speed limit should stay in the other lanes. I sometimes tailgate people if they are going under the speed limit (especially old people) but I never tailgate someone who is going 5 over.

I could see putting a little heat on people going way too slow in the left passing lane.

My car is a 5spd and I drive it just fine but it really annoys me when I stop a redlight on a steep incline and some ******* literally gets within inches of my back bumper. This happens to me just about everyday. It makes me wonder who's fault it would be if an inexperianced driver in a manual rolled back on someone at a stop light that was so close.
