[quote name="bubbleheadchief"]Another driving WTF, like a few others on here I drive a high end, souped up muscle car. Knowing the traffic around here in DC, there are very few times you really get to "open it up" and drive the car as it is capable of being driven. On a 3 mile stretch of posted 25mph road through old Alexandria is not one of these places. Anyway, I was doing about 35...yeah I know what I said, but to make the lights that is what speed you need to do, anyway some jag-off decides to climb on my ass to try and speed me up. All I could think was "Seriously, you think climbing on my ass is going to speed me up?? Leave home altittle earlier you fucking dumbass, maybe you wont be running late."[/quote]
Oh, i love this. You get some yoyo who runs up behind you and yeah, brake check them...but what I love is if i'm cruising a rural road (50 posted out here usually), and some nimrod starts tailgating my ass when there's a double yellow--and I mean tailgating so that you can't see their hood or headlights.
So I slow down to about 25. At least within Washington, i'm good with that unless therer's a posted minimum (in which case I do that), or if more than 5 cars line up behind me (usually if there's more cars than the assclown I go back to the limit). When they finally get a passing opportunity, usually they whip around and proceed beyond 20 over the limit...and once or twice a cop nailed them.
Yes, i'm a bastard...I know this. But I won't break the +5 rule I have and riding up on me is not going to make me go faster...plus, *I'm* not the one in the hurry.
