I go slower and get parallel to the person next to me if its multiple lanes.

Engine braking

I don't like tailgaters at all, but to be honest, I do it more than I'd like to admit. It gets people out of your way when you're trying to cover ground in the left lane. It's a shame that's what it takes when people won't kindly move after you've flashed your lights several times.

I brake check, downshift, and don't allow them to pass. If you want to pass, that's fine, don't tailgate.

>>1572661
I do the same thing, most roads have an 80Km/h limit here, I always do the speed limit. when there's someone tailgating me I slow down to about 40 or 50Km/h and when they try to pass, I let the vtech kick in and they gotta get back behind me again and do 40 in an 80...

GUYS, STPO GIONG 40 IN THE FAST LANE!! jus moev out teh way then you wont get tailgaited :)

>>1572669

actually, you sir, are the definition of a fucking douchebag.

wrap yourself around a fucking tree.

I prefer to call it drafting.

install a caltrop dropper on your car.

>>1572660
if they wont get out of your way go around them, dont be a douche and tailgate him 2 inches behind his bumper

>>1572686
hs is honda fanboy fail. his car wouldnt have enough torque to make a dent in the tree imo

i hate being tailgated when i am in the fucking right lane. there's 3 perfectly good fucking lane alllllllll the way over there so go use them you pricks.

i don't drive like a maniac so naturally people tailgate me on the highway. however, i have an AWD car so for revenge i tailgate people on windy backroads. one day i will tailgate a butch faggot driving a pimped dodge ram and run him into a ditch. at that point, my life will be complete.

as long as i know can drive away from them, i do. if they're equal in power, i let them go up front, then follow (not tailgating, though..that would put me on the same level as whom i rage about...). if they're more powerful...well, it's usually noticeable before they have to tailgate, or they simply know they have the capability and keep a nice distance. but if the situation arrives, i try to stay in their way as much as possible, just to piss them off more

i don't get why people complain about tailgaters, whats the worst that can happen? they ram you in the ass and you claim neck injuries and get insurance money?

Tailgating is for giant faggots. Only acceptable if you're fucking around with someone you know already, and even then only if you know they won't really care.

>>1572717

if you have to break they WONT have the reaction time to break with you and can cause serious injuries

>>1572723
yes, i think i understand that, hence why i put it in the second part of my post

hi do u know wat insurance premiums are? must be nice to have a good laywer. i personally try to not fuck up my car bcus of retards thx

i don't mind tailgaters for the most part since if you ignore them they'll just pass you, but what fucking pisses me off is soccer mom thunder cunts in fucking minivans and especially shitty suvs tailgating you, especially in the fucking morning, where are you going to in such a hurry you stupid fucking bitch? to get your morning coffee or get your nails done? jesus fucking christ, women should only drive bikes, so that when they drive like shit that's the end of them

>>1572727 faggot without insurance spotted
what the fuck made you think that?

anyway:
>>1572723
and
>>1572730

is where it's at

>>1572730
i do, and i have a decent insurance company that doesn't try to jew me out of money any way it can

>>1572733
those fucking redneck pricks with their big wheeled, loud exhaust, pick-up trucks are worse

>>1572736

false

I am often tailgated because I don't go faster than 70 on the highway, which is basically the minimum here in Houston.

It really pisses me off. It's stupid and dangerous, and really, the only point of tailgating is to annoy someone, either to get them to go faster or just because you're a tremendous faggot.

I become particularly enraged when the jackass tailgating me starts flashing his high beams to get me to move when I'm boxed in by cars moving the same speed and can't even move anywhere. The whole goddamn highway is moving the same speed, you stupid fucker, what do you hope to accomplish by getting in front of me?

That said, I still do it sometimes too, but only to people that are being even more of a dick than I am. Like in certain instances where some impatient fuck cuts in front of me and intrudes on the following distance I leave between my car and the one in front of me, I just keep maintaining that distance with the car he just got behind and tailgate the fucker until he changes lanes again.

What I dont understand about tailgaters are they sit about 1ft off your ass, giving it their all trying to speed past you then this move infront of you and sit about 10mph under the speed limit.

Why do that ?

>>1572727
neck injuries if serious can cause paralyzation and/or death

People who tail gate are fucking assholes.
If you're a grown man and you drive right up the ass of the car in front of you like a 16 year old girl, then you and your "cool truck" should stay home and do the laundry.

>>1572746
that's simply because they're dumb. really. it gets interesting if you go past them again, create a bit of a distance between you and them and suddenly they're back in your neck. and -> repeat. happens interestingly often

>>1572690
/thread

>>1572686
yeah... well if faggots like you knew how to drive, you wouldn't be in the situation that I put you in. I'm actually saving you a ticket so you idiots should be thanking me for making you do 40 in a 80.

>>1572692
This is potentially awesome

>>1572756
>>1572690

This.

Here's an observation that I made while driving in Massachusetts.
Its amazing how many times a driver will have to hit the brakes to avoid striking the car in front of him, yet it NEVER occurs to him that he is doing something wrong.
If you have used your brakes a few dozen times when the car in front of you hasnt used his, its safe to assume that you are doing something wrong.
Figure it out dummies. Your driving sucks.

Oh hi, why are you so slow?

I have a ramp installed on the back of my car, so I slam on the brakes. The tailgater drives up the ramp and flys several feet through the air Dukes of Hazzard style, then slams into the ground as a flaming wreck.

>>1572690
No, its more like douching. As in you're a douche bag.
And in my state, your a moving target as well.
I look forward to our encounter on the road, and the look of panic on your face.

Its amazing about the excuses people have for driving like drunken broads (tailgating).

>>1572782

No you're just driving too slow now GTFO of the way.

>>1572746
Because its not about speed, its about not knowing what you are doing. Its about women who think that the object of driving is to keep up to the car in front of you at all costs. There is no logic involved, its all emotion and confusion. Women should never ever be allowed to drive under any circumstances.
Have you ever watched a woman pull up to a gas pump for TEN FUCKING MINUTES? I have . Its infuriating to say the least.

>>1572790
Sorry honey, thats not how it works. If you dont have the skills to pass, then back off and wait. You dont get to tailgate because you want to go faster.
You drive at a reasonable and safe distance, and wait for your chance to pass. Or you get shot at.

>>1572783
why is there an LCD screen blocking your rear view mirror?

>>1572788
As do I, I can't wait to see you start foaming at the mouth yelling curse words and flipping me off. what are you going to do other than that? run me off the road? yeah sure internet tough guy...
>>1572790
I do the speed limit, because I'm a young dude and I don't want to get a ticket and have my insurance go up...

If you tailgate, you are seriously fucking stupid and I highly doubt anyone with brains will disagree with me when I say that..

>>1572798
You wouldnt be the first tailgating cunt who wound up on the side of the road asshole.

>>1572801
I think you misunderstood what I was trying to communicate, please reread the post and try again.

>>1572782

>>1572651

It's easy to spot failmatics when they brake every 100 feet to keep from hitting the car in front of them.

TAILGATING = NASCAR = RUBBIN IS RACIN = WIN

i thought tailgating involved drinking beer

>>1572796
newfag never seen sliding rear windows before

Whenever I get tailgated, I do one of two things:

If I'm on the highway, and in the left lane, i move over and let them pass.

If I'm on a one lane each way highway, and there's no further traffic behind the tailgater, i slow to a crawl until they back off.

Unless you're going 5 over on the highway, if you're getting tailgated it's a for a fucking reason.

I tailgate all the time, and you know why? To get the fuck around your slow asses. Speed up.

>>1572868
it does; at least a 30 pack.

>>1572868


tailgating != tailgate party

one is people being douchebags, the other is rednecks getting drunk on the back of pickup trucks at NASCAR events

http://tinyurl.com/m5m5gx

Anyone in this thread who brake checks, and slows down to avert tailgaters is just as big, if not bigger assholes then them. Tailgating doesn't cause accidents, people who don't know how to drive cause accidents.

>>1572946


Tailgaters don't know how to drive (or are lacking in depth perception) because unless you're on a race track, it's considered rude and highly dangerous to follow so closely to the car ahead of you.

And I will continue to slow down and be annoying to tailgaters until people get it through their heads.

People don't seem to realize that the left lane is a passing lane, thus tailgating was born.
I don't know what's worse, someone going slowly in the left lane or a tailgater.
Prolly the person not passing in the passing lane. Fucking retards.

>>1572955
What you need to realize is that THE LEFT LANE IS FOR FUCKING PASSING. Are you from LA that you are so fucking stupid or are you just an Asian women?

I tailgate because people don't understand what the fuck the passing lane is for. It's to fucking pass, and after the passing is over, you move back to the lane for regular traffic.

If you don't speed up or move over, I'll rub bumpers with you all day. And for the fags that get hard-ons from slowing down and pissing tailgaters off, doesn't bother me, my brakes are better than yours and I'll just inch even closer to you all the way to your destination. Two can play at that game.

>>1572966

>>1572931
tailgating=/= drafting one is parkinglot parties on the back of a truck, the other is following closely behind another vehicle

I rage when those shitty little cars tailgate me!

>>1572966

Actually you lose because the person infront of you is controlling how long it takes for you to get to your destination. You control nothing of the person in front of you.

>>1572960
not true. I have only driving in 2 places where there are passing lane laws. Everywhere else i've been its just another lane.

>>1572985

I'm not losing anything, I always leave early for where ever I have to be. But if you slow down to shake me off your ass, I'll just get even closer until another lane opens up.

>>1572986
obviously you are a new driver. The left lane is always the passing lane, whether it's enforced by law or otherwise.
We'll talk after your super sweet 16.

>>1573000

This.

Any lane furthest LEFT is designated as passing lane thx

>>1572644
I don't mind them too much, the rule of thumb is:
1) If it is a car, and I don't see their headlights, I brake test, and if they still do it, downshift, and if they still tailgate, just slow down 10-20km/h,
2) If it is a SUV or Truck, and their headlights blind my whole rear view, I downshift, and if they still. Than slam on my brakes and let VTEC kick in and run away.

Yo dawg i heard yo like tails so yam gating yo!

>>1573013

I hope you're trolling.

>>1572966

In the event of the car in front of you being forced to emergency brake, your reaction time would leave you 5 feet inside the car in front of you before you could even use your "better brakes." Which, in reality, probably aren't any better than the person in front of you.

>>1572669
omg ur so incredibly gay

faggots overtaking at 1 km/h over the speed limit piss me off more than tailgaters

it's like trucks overtaking each other, with the one overtaking having its limiter just 1 km/h higher

godfuckingdammit, that pisses me off so badly

generally I don't get tailgated
If I see a car coming up to me at a higher speed, I'll move if possible, otherwise accelerate and move as quickly as possible. I like to think they'll do the same for me sometime in the future when I need to get somewhere fast

>>1573006
But only on a limited-access road.

this thread is full of fucks. if im being tailgated in any lane but the farthest right i move the fuck over.

For the sake of evolution itself i hope so too

Glad to see summer /o/ is in session.

Tailgating on a 2 lane road is stupid.
Tailgating on a multi-lane high way = gtfo of the left lane.

Drive faster or stick to the right lane.

On a 2 lane road, just dip your tire off to the side in a corner and fill the view up with dirt and rocks. They tend to back off after that.

tailgaters are cunts period

/thread

The thing I noticed about people who always complain about tailgaters is they drive slow ass buckets, minivans/SUVs while on their cellphone or hybrids.

>>1573275

they're the tailgaters

>>1573275
I get tailgated on the highway constantly.
I do 10-15 mph over posted.

Brake check the motha fucka.

I will sometimes tailgate when some faggot from NJ or CT is up here doing 25 in a 40 because they've never driven on a road with curves before. Was behind some riced v6 mustang from CT the other day, close considering that there was no other traffic, but not dangerously close. The guy must have been raging, he gassed it to pull away from me just before some nice bumps in the road and bottomed out hard. I loled and passed him.

but in any situation other than someone who SHOULD know how to drive (old people get some slack) going way under the limit, tailgating is retarded. I had an idiot friend who used to stick his shotgun out the window every time someone got on his ass. It was effective, but I think he's in jail now.

>>1573289

10 over ain't fast.

>>1573006
Opposing lane is now the passing lane. GTFO my way it's the law.

>>1572853
saying NASCAR = redneck

I have no need to tailgate because in Texas it's legal to pass on the shoulder. Should see the fags faces when you kick up gravel all over their windshield.

when you want to drive 20 mph over the speed limit youre endangering the live of others period. the fast lane doesnt mean "drive as fast as your douchebag ass wants" it means drive 65-70 mph while the left lane is for slow cars and trucks going 55-65 mph

>>1573296

oh fucking shit did i lol

>>1573234
wiper fluid also works. so does spitting gum out of the moonroof, but that takes practice.

@the tailgaters in this thread

i only use the left lane to pass.
i never drive under the speed limit if i can help it.
i still get tailgated.

watt

i cant stand when i'm doing 15 over and some faggot in a huge fucking truck or some other richfag comes zooming up behind you and starts flashing their lights and blowing their horn so you too can go 20 over and get pulled

i know even though im a slow driver and that the person tailgating me probably has somewhere he needs to be (like a life threatening emergency) but it just freaks me out that hes not actually touching my car but he is kind of close to it.

They really dont bother me, not sure what it is about me, but doesnt bother me a bit. They could be 6 inches off my tail, and i could care less. If they rear end me, i dont fucking car, any car i actually drive is a piece of shit. I'd think it'd be funny as hell to see them ruin their damn BMW by rear ending a fucking 84 chevette.

My nissan has a rear windshield washer, thats fun sometimes. I flipped the nozzle around so instead of it shooting at the window it goes up and out. That can be funny as hell to spray them down if they're on my ass, especially if their window is down.

I always wanted to put something disgusting in my washer bottle, like sewer water to spray them down with. But then i'd be stuck with a car smelling like sewer and couldnt use my washers.

I never had tailgaters, dunno why.

If you're going 40 in a 50 because of "OMG TAILGATERRRS LOL I GO SLOW" and there is a 12 car line behind you, pull over and let the people who need to be somewhere get there on time.
Nothing pisses me off more than being the 9th car in a 12 car train because the jackoff at the head of the line thinks he's being tailgated.

>>1573747

I hate being 9th in a 12 car train because the pussy #2 is too scared to over take and no one is leaving room for me to tuck in if I decide to take a few on.

>>1573649
Paint

>>1572793

You better pray I forgot my .45 in the glove box and 5.56mm in the trunk. If I get shot at, you're not leaving without getting cut down.

I personally tailgate when people go the speed limit in what is generally accepted to be the "fast lane". I don't wait around though. I just increase my speed till I am right behind them, switch lanes and blow by them. Hopefully it reminds them that they're being SLOW and should move over.

>>1573763
Paint is too thick, probably clog the nozzles up. Plus if it dried out in there you'd be screwed.

Brake fluid might work, it eats paint away but it does it pretty slowly. They might just think it was water at first, but an hour later their paint will be bubbling up. You'll be gone by then, lulz ensue.

>>1573430
>watt

did you fail your driving test twice?

I drive around with one of those whiplash collars and I have a 20 year old Sierra, so I just slam the brakes and let them hit me.

>>1573780
so because you want to go 20 over the speed limit the car in front of you is being a douchebag?

man if i were a cop id love to pull dick heads like you over

Fit a nuclear warhead to your rear bumper... if any fucker tailgates you... BOOM!

i dont tailgate, i go and cut slowfags off...

then they get pissed and try to cut me off but they cant cause i'm in the sooprah and i'll be loooong gone.

Here's my thoughts on tailgaters: they are the absolute most dangerous drivers on the road. If you tailgate, you are asking to have an accident. If you ride someone's ass and they slam on the brakes for whatever reason, you CANNOT avoid an accident. And in most cases if you rear-end someone, the accident is your fault. As a result your insurance goes up.

Me, I like to do the speed limit in town, maybe 5 mph over tops. Keeps me from getting pulled over. I typically avoid the fast lane because it's a speed trap on our local freeways. Cops sit on the shoulder adjacent to the fast lane and pull over motorists in that fast lane irregardless of speed. But I hate it when I'm in the SLOW lane doing 55 mph (yeah, our speed limits suck, 55 on open freeway) and some douchebag decides I'm not going fast enough for him. He doesn't back off, he won't go around, he just rides my ass so close I can't see his headlights in my rearview. I'm gonna show him my brakelights a few times. If he don't back the fuck off, I show him my brakes. I go as slow as it takes until he gets fed up and goes around. If that don't work, then I'll have tomake him hit me, and he gets to pay for the damage.

I will agree that slow drivers are annoying. I hate dumbasses won't even do the speed limit on the freeway. Sorry, but unless the weather and road conditions are crap, there is no excuse for doing 45 or 50 in a 55 zone. Nor should anyone be doing more than 60. But I never tailgate. I stay back at least three seconds or I change lanes and go around the slowpoke.
It's true that it is inconsiderate and/or illegal to hog the fast lane by driving slow. But by flashing your lights and riding his ass, you are being just as unsafe as him. You could spook him into crashing.. Seriously people, if someone is going too slow, just GO AROUND! Don't fucking tailgate!

Tailgating is God's way of saying
GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE GODDAMN WAY

>>1573853
Yeah, and a broken face is physics way of saying
DON'T DRIVE SO GODDAMN CLOSE

>>1573853
So all tailgaters have a god complex? That explains a lot.

>>1573876

And your whiplash and severe neck trauma is anatomy's way of saying, "I should've gotten out of the goddamn way."

>>1573893
I saw that car at Beaulieu in the Bond Exhibit. The machine gun looks so shit in person.

This is America. Fuck you I tailgate.

This is America. Fuck you I drive slow on the left lane.

Go suck a lemon.

>>1573887
And your damaged front bumper and increased insurance rates is gods way of saying "i shouldnt have been a douchebag"

I hate to admit, I tend to tailgate people who cut into my face and slow down (mainly because I don't want to slam on the brakes and create that safe distance, dumb, I know). I've been tailgate before, I don't brake, I just wait until they tried to pass and if it's a narrow space, I'll speed up, but other wise I'd let them go, knowing that since I'm already doing 75-80, they'll be the ones getting pull over.

What I don't like is when people tailgate me when I'm on the slow lanes and there's nothing on the left. Go fucking around. Oh well, at least I get to see my auto dimming mirror in action.

>>1573940

that's the thing. We all do it, so we're all douchebags.
Just about being nice once in a while and having fun torturing people to compensate for our shitty lives.

I had some faggot brake checking me pulling away from some lights the other day.
30mph zone
I accelerated closely with him till 20 then let him go off, then he started tapping on his brakes. I stayed at 20 and so did he... seriously wtf...
the only time i tailgate is in rush hour traffic to not let any other fucker in front of me.
MIND BLOWN EH?

>>1572644

MULTI LANE:

TAILGATEES: IF THERE ARE NO CARS TO YOUR RIGHT AND YOU ARE NOT ACTIVELY OVERTAKING MOVE THE FUCK OVER, IF YOU ARE PASSING COMPLETE THE PASS IN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME AND MOVE OVER

TAILGATERS: IF THERE IS HEAVY TRAFFIC OR NO CLEAR ROOM TO THE RIGHT BACK THE FUCK OFF, IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU GET IN FRONT

TWO LANE:

NO GOOD REASON TO TAILGATE, WAIT FOR A PASSING ZONE AND BACK OFF

/thread

>>1573852

the other thing idiots in the passing lane going slow don't realize is it forces people behind to pass on the right which is hazardous, you aren't being safe by letting someone tailgate you and going slow

I usually move when I see someone coming from far away. However, if there's someone in front of me and someone on my side blocking me in and some guy tail gates me then I open my sun roof and throw pennies up.

>TWO LANE:

>NO GOOD REASON TO TAILGATE, WAIT FOR A PASSING ZONE AND BACK OFF
unless there is a wide enough shoulder at which time slower traffic should yield right... FUCK YOU CARS DOING 20 UNDER ON TX105 EAST

>>1573381

wrong

with sufficient line of sight, traffic conditions, the car being driven, driver skill level etc etc you can safely operate much over the posted limit, the limit is an intentionally conservative number designed to raise revenue from tickets, there's a reason unlimited highways work so well in germany and the fact that the accident rate went up in 2000 when colorado was the last state forced by the federal government to impose a speed limit on previously unrestricted highways

>>1574003
don't forget the interstates were designed for 75mph with 1950s cars.

theres idiots out there who tailgate semi trucks

I don't see why people aren't just passing on the right. It legal in most places. You'll find its only illegal in places that have passing lane laws.

>>1573999
>ON TX105 EAST

redneck asshole with suped up 80s pick up detected

It's annoying, makes me nervous, I usually just slow down so much that they have to pass me and then I just continue on my way.

>>1572717

Underage b&, you obviously don't drive, because if you did you would know how it feels to be in that situation, you can't blow it off like "OH LET INSURANCE COVER IT", do you really want to have to get out of the car after the accident and fight with the douche who was tailgating, call the police and wait for them to get there, fight with the guy in front of the cop about who caused the accident, go home with a banged up car, get quotes, call insurance company, send quotes, wait for a check and wait for your car to be fixed for a couple of weeks just because some douche was riding your tail? Fuck off

>>1574021
Actually I drive a lowered hatchback and a motorcycle, but don't let that stand in the way of your stereotypes...

>>1574033
it wont

This is where driving a 1979 Mercedes Benz 300CD gets fun. If the lame ass brake check doesn't work, throw it down into smoke. If you can still see the asshole behind you flashing his high beams (you can't hear them laying on the horn... you're too busy fapping to the sound of the 5 cylinder OM617.9XX), then just step it down to lots of smoke and hope they swing out through the cloud and hit a cab driver head on for the added win of them having to pay loss of income settlements.

This is why I love my Porsche. The turbocharger's exit pipe bypasses the catalytic converter. You can guess what happens during an aggressive downshift (i.e. to anti-tailgate)

For newfags: 3ish foot plume of flame coming from the exhaust and a hellacious backfire.

DRIVE RIGHT. If you're not passing, move to the right lane. Other people want to go fast.

>>1574110 here

A video of another 944T on youtube doing what mine does: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzewRN-BUTo

See my way of getting back of a tailgater....not someone whos paniced or in a hurry (Flashing their brights) but like some faggot in an asian import, I stick to driving the speed limit but when I come to a red light or a stop sign. I floor it away and leave his ass but never go higher than the speed limit. I drive an old Lincoln, which is two sided blade....if he hits me with his plastic car, i know ill be able to drive away because my car is built like a tank, but what manages to get hurt on my car isnt gonna get replaced. They stopped making MARK VII 's after all.

If you slam on your brakes and make a tail gater hit you, be prepared for a free ride to jail and the following epic lawsuit. You wouldn't be the first to get time for man slaughter. I know it's hard to understand but it turns out it's not okay to wilfully cause an accident. At that point your betting your life on what they do because if they swerve to avoid you and get themselves killed... the fact that they were pissing you off becomes a pretty weak defense.

I'm a little torn because on the one hand, I like making people feel stupid but on the other, to let people continue their behavior so they get proper fucked is also good. I guess I'll go for instant gratification.

>>1573780
so you carry a pistol round in your glove compartment and a rifle round in your trunk? oh god, how scary

call the guns by their names and not by their calibers you fucking faggot, you do know there are other .45acp guns besides the 1911, right? and ar15's aren't the only guns chambered in 5.56 either

i don't like wasting gas just to stop sooner (stop sign). ne ways this guy was tailing me today bc of this at the 4th or so stop sign i see in the rear view mirror he's got his turn signal on so after i stop i floored sped away i love when shit like this happens

lame story brah

If someone is following too closely I just litter out of the sunroof. Cigarette butts at first, then other, larger items if they don't get the hint. A 64 oz big gulp is an excellent deterrent at 75 mph.

>>1574003
True, but the law is a law. Just because Germans are smarter and move out of damn fast lane to let you pass - we americans are dumb and think we own the lane we're on and don't want no one to mess with that.
Talk to any highway patrol and they'll say fast drivers should be close or no more than 7mph over the speed limit on any lane, but mainly the fast lane. That is if the traffic volume near your vicinity is very thin. HPs also say to drive with the flow of traffic rather than impede it, which basically if everyone is going 70mph on a 50, then you should do the same if you're on the same lanes but still at a safe distance. Overall, the fallback is to drive the damn speed limit.

Sorry, but that's only if you have credible witnesses and the guy who crashes into you from behind was taping the whole thing (I'm being sarcastic). That never happens because following too closely is what causes the accident and that's what the cop/HP picks up on. They don't look as to why you stopped or slowed down considerably. Its still the tailgaters fault. Also, ask any insurance adjuster. Accident could have been avoided from the get-go if that person wasn't following too closely. Simple as that ratard durr.

Well, the internet tough guy probably doesn't realize that most civilians can't get a rifle chambered in 5.56x45 not because of laws, but because of rarity. It's much easier to get an identical gun chambered in .223. Almost the same, but not quite. And no, the army doesn't let you take your gun home with you.

I'm the kind of asshole who goes the speed limit in the fastlane. If people don't like it they can go around.

Because you are a hostile infant. The reason the cops and driving handbook says "Keep right except to pass" is because otherwise traffic clogs up and accidents ensue.

Yeah, assholes like you love knowing that they're causing the world to wreck around them, because that's the only influence their little passive-aggressive lives will have on the world.

I usually kick off the cruise on the steering wheel and downshift. No brake lights, and you slow down in a hell of a hurry. If I'm in the right lane, and the left lanes open, and it's dark and you got bright ass headlights, when you go around you will get the fog lights that aren't adjusted right turned on.

>>1574254
hey cool, me too. i mean, i still only use it to pass or let someone merge or something, but no goddamn way am i exceeding the speed limit.

i'd like to see a cop pull me over because "i didn't let other drivers violate the traffic laws". you impotent faggots can't do shit, either. ha ha.

>>1574112
and what about when people are getting tailgated in the right lane? huh? what do you suggest then?

news flash fuckstick, no one posted "HAY GUYS I LIEK TO DRIVE 30 ON THE HIGHWY AND TAKE UP 2 LANES, WHY AER PEOPLE CLOSE BEHIND ME". the thread is about faggots like you who can't obey the 2 second rule.

you are shitstain retarded.

Personally, I think people who putter along at about 37 mph on a 50 mph, two-lane, country road with infrequent passing zones are the biggest douchebags on the planet.

Actually...wait...no...

Correction: those are the SECOND biggest douchebags on the planet. The BIGGEST douchebags are the people who are content to tool along behind one of those twats and make it nigh-impossible for anyone further back in line to get by.

Tailgating is an understandable (if somewhat reckless) reaction to assholes who think that just because THEY are in no hurry, that no one else is. That said, it's completely unjustified, IMO, to tailgate someone who's within say 5 mph of the limit, let alone OVER it. It's also not justified if the reason for the slow speed is that the conditions are poor.

Note: my mother's cousin was actually stopped once for driving too slow. The cop told her she was obstructing traffic, and to either speed up or pull over and let the line of cars behind her pass. I'm not sure whether she got a ticket or just a warning. Either way, more cops need to do that.

that's fucking stupid, the gatling gun would be firing right next to your god damn ears and would make you go deaf

Around here, the general rule, I am told (via a college friend whose fiance was a sheriff), is 5 mph in towns, 10 mph on the highway. Do 41 in a 35 and you WILL get a ticket (or at least a warning). Do 58 in a 50 and you probably won't, even if it's only one lane each way (and almost CERTAINLY not if you were passing). Of course, all that only goes for cars with IN-state plates. It's understood that out-of-state drivers will be ticketed for things that wouldn't usually get an in-state driver stopped. Our cops, from town constables to state troopers, are pretty much ALL dicks to out-of-state drivers (and we love them for it).

faggots like you are the reason why road trips are rarely taken nowadays

>>1574291
careful, some places such as california will ticket you for not letting other people break the law.

>>1574406
In california no one can drive, therefore if you drive well they believe something is wrong.

All I heard was, BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW I failed at life and drive a shit bucket barelly capable of doing 50 so slowing people down makes me feel manly.

I only tailgate on the highway, when there are cars taking up every lane, all going the same speed. Makes me rage.

UK Learner Driverfag here.

Today i had some cuntflap driving a Merc-Benz right up my ass. I was going at the speed limit, so i wasn't being a dickish slow learner, and this guy was about 2 feet from the back of my car, revving his dick off.

So i let him pass. The guy thunders past me and goes shooting off into the distance, only for me to go past him getting yelled at by a police officer 5 minutes later.

Poetic Justice.
