some friggin drivers......
so yeah, I'm making my commute tonight home from college at FDU, and I'm on route 46, right across from Kevil. I'm going about 50 or so in the right hand lane, when I signal to make a lane change to pass a guy. As soon as I make my lane change, some ahole comes right up on my ass when i'm goin about 55. So, we pass a few people on that stretch, and we come up to the bigass hill starting to go down it. There's a guy on the right of me now, going 55 down the hill, and I'm pretty much stuck in the left lane, because there's cars behind the guy going 55.
Meanwhile, that guy that's behind me continues to be RIGHT up on my ass. I mean within inches of my rearend, couldn't even see his friggin lights. So I'm getting pissed, so I kept goin at about 55ish down the hill, all the while he's right on my ass. Now, I woulda passed the guy goin 55 and gone in the right lane, but the speed limit is 45 on that hill, and by this time we're coming up on the speedtrap at the end of it. So by this time I was like screw it... I'm goin 45. So I slow down, the guys still on my ass.
Now, we come up to make the left hand turn. So now I was really ****in pissed, so just to **** with him, I slowed down to 25 in a 40 on that road the whole trip. We come around that little bend, right by the Eckerd and Right Aid, and he immediately tries to pass me goin like 40ish.
I went into the right lane there, put my window down, and went, "Yo, there a friggin problem man." The guy proceeds to go, "You were being a f*ckin ******* and not getting over." I said to him, "Dude, I couldn't get over, cars were on both sides of me and you were right on my ass." "Yeah, you're a friggin idiot... get those six cylinders with the dual exhaust going F*CKER."
Now here's the cool part. He was driving this POS early 90's red honda, with Rust all over and huge huge dents, sounded like **** too. I told him, "Yo... all you're driving is a f*ckin four banger man... no offense, but tough ****... you don't like it, deal with it."
Then I let him go. Some friggin people. He looked like a guy that goes to the gym I go to though- I just hope he's not a total friggin nut and doesn't smash up my car or something while I'm parked in the gym parking lot.
But yeah... I probably would've been cool with it and been nice and gotten over IF he hadn't been on my ass the entire time and if I didn't have to speed up to around 60ish on that hill when it's a 45. Screw him... tough **** if he didn't like the fact that I was going the speed limit.
Oh well, end of rant.

Yeah man, some people on the road are psychos! I had some guy in a delivery/work van behind me today, and the moron was trying to pass me on the right, on a single-lane road! He was practially going over the sidewalk at 35mph to try and get around me. Asshat.

Happened to me on the same hill man. And since theres 2 lanes, there was an ******* in a WRX behind me right on my tail (we were doing about 55), and an old "brake-happy" grampa in the right lane doing about 35MPH. I caught up right next to ol' grampa and slowed down right with him just to piss the kid off behind me. Now hes REALLY pissed cuz he cant pass 2 cars blocking the road. It was great! I look in the rearview mirror and hes giving me all sorts of gestures and I just laughed my ass off. I stayed with the grampa all the way down to the next light at the bottom of the hill when i slowed down EVEN more so i can get behind the gramps and wave to teh ****face. It was classic. Not one pissed-off driver will ever bother me, I know my ways around it to enlighten the rest of their day  :finger:

Why were you going the exact limit in the fastlane?
The left lane is for passing so you should have passed the traffic on the right. I would be pissed at someone going 25 in a 40 and so would you.

lol, you guys obviously don't know the hill. There's a speed trap at the bottom, and I've seen people get raped for speeding on that hill, so no offense Vitali, I dont care... on that hill, im going the limit, even when there's a guy in the right lane goin 55. Plus, Traffic behind the guy in the right hand lane and the guy on my ass all the way down, what was I supposed to do, evaporate? And, to top it off, the law is as long as your going the speed limit if the guy behind you is on your ass and he hits you, it's the guy on my ass's fault, and YOU'D have to pay. Bottom line, tailgating is a helluva lot worse than going 45 in the "fast" lane.
And, the 25, in a 40 was PURPOSELY supposed to piss the ******* off for being on my ass. So yeah, that I'm aware of

HAH... classic bro, good for you. I've done that several times before on that hill... I LOVE pissing off people who have the audacity to go right on your ass. Served the WRX right.

if someone is on my ass really bad I downshift a gear or two and let off the gas. its priceless to see them slam on the brakes because they didnt see any brake lights.
I either do that or tap the brake lights a few times, but if that doesnt work the downshift move sure does

hahaha i do the same sometimes, or just go really slow. i've had quite a few people try to pass me when it was double yellow, but they quickly found out that their accord, or huynday couldnt accelerate quicker then my car, so they had to slam on the breaks and get behind me! hahaha

toggle switch wired to the brake light switch works wonders also,for tailgating drivers
