    What pisses me off is when I’m trying to go faster than the cars in front of me and there’s someone behind me right in my bumper flashing their high beams. Like bro, there’s ten fucking cars in front of me that I would gladly pass if they moved out of the way, do you really think I’ll move to let you through so there’s 11 cars in front of me?

    Had a moron in a truck with a huge trailer doing that the other day, there was an opening and he tried to pass me on the right to squeeze between me and the car in front of me even though there was space for his truck only.

        Don’t want to be the guy who could get brake checked, would much rather be the guy getting a nice insurance cheque because an idiot was driving too close to me.

          Oh, if we’re doing angry driving, then forget letting him pass. Just shift to low gear and lift then.

            I am pretty good at angling my side mirrors to shine truck lights back at their driver.

            If you’re gonna ride my ass when I’m safely following traffic then you’re gonna see just how capable I am of ignoring someone behind me as I cruise exactly at the speed limit.

            That said, you always win by letting the angry aggressive dangerous driver past you and away from you.

            Insurance checks aren’t nearly as nice as not fucking your body up because a douche can’t brake fast enough.

      I was on the highway, both lanes packed, and I couldn’t even see the headlights of the person behind me they were so close to my ass. So I eased off the gas because this is an incredibly dangerous situation and moved over as soon as I could.

      Suddenly this asshole who was too impatient to leave a damn foot between our cars has time to dick around, pulling in front of me and slowing way the fuck down. I wait until there is an opening, pull over, and get up to speed with the car in front of me so he can’t get in front of me. The lane is packed so they can’t get in behind me either and end up several cars behind.

      I don’t know what the fuck they were hoping for, but I’m sure it wasn’t that.

      I had a guy do that to me once, I held my speed and he tagged the car ahead of him trying to pull in. I slacked off and let him shoot across my lane and into the median. I went back to have a discussion with the cop when he showed up and the guy had his vehicle impounded and he got a cruiser ride.
