Whoops, I didn't mean to highlight those as contradicting. I am the same way for both of those. I don't get mad, and I just slow down in front of tailgaters.

And now this is how I'll envision Shad in his car. All the time.

I have terrible road rage. I don't think I would ever completely snap, but I will definitely seek out confrontation if I am righting a perceived wrong. It's no bueno. I don't act like it when I'm with my wife and daughter obv.

Speaking of, this was on the local news yesterday:



Both drivers were issued a number of citations, but the trucker has nobody to blame but himself for the crash.
That trucker just lost his career. No company will ever hire someone that has clearly proven they are not reliable to get cargo safely from Point A to Point B.

Gotcha. Yeah, I'm super mellow when I'm driving. If another driver does something stupid and I have a passenger in the car, they'll start freaking out (especially my father), screaming, chucking the finger, etc. I just smile and keep on keeping on.

There seems to be a bit of road rage but I think it's more that trailer not being loaded correctly.

I don’t understand why people slow down for tailgaters. What are you accomplishing?

Escalation of a incident coupled with a smug sense of self-satisfaction.

I'm not a tail-gater, I just identify that behavior as 'reverse tailgating' and just as abhorrent as tailgaters, if not worse because it's provoking an unsafe condition.

You’re impacting more than just the person behind you. Don’t speed up or slow down. Just continue at your rate of speed.

This is a life lesson here, kiddos. Don’t let outside influences impact your thoughts/actions. The water doesn’t sink the boat until it gets inside.

I don't care.

I'm not going to stoop to the level of the dadhole behind me, just because they are in a hurry. I'm going to drive the speed that I feel is safe and **** the rest of you.

On my drive to pick up lunch, I pulled up to the light near my house. The car two cars ahead of me left a space for people to turn into the shopping center, which I myself do. So, what does the car in front of me do? Pulls around and gets in front of them, blocking the entrance. The bonus was that a car was attempting to turn into the shopping center, so they wound up blocking the rest of the cars in the turning lane.

Oh, you're just freewheeling now. Makes sense. Because before you said you were slowing down to piss off the people behind you, but now you're saying you're not altering your speed in reaction to the people behind you.

So one way or another you're full of it.

No, it depends on the location, to be honest. I'm just not going to speed up.

I'll either maintain or slow down, depending on the road. If it's a one lane road, I'll slow down. If it's a freeway, I just maintain.

The slow drivers are an absolute scourge in Lancaster County. The two worst offenders, by far, are tourists (naturally) and, oddly, Hispanic drivers with NY or NJ plates. There is a section of road that is 55 mph between Intercourse and Lancaster, and I got stuck behind a Civic with NY plates going 32 in a 55. How in the world is this acceptable?

With the tourists, the picture-takers are the worst too. I was driving home from work one day and I come up over a rise in a 45 mph zone, and there is a guy with his car stopped IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, outside of his car, taking a photo of a cow standing in a field. I almost lost my mind. He could easily have gotten hit.

Turnpike drivers that think they're "safe" going 60 when the rest of the world is going 75-80 are not making anything safer. The speed limit is 70, I'm fine if you're gonna go 70 in the slow-lane, but don't even think about going to pass someone if you're not going to increase your speed because you want to pass the other moron going under the speed limit too.

False. I usually go about 5-8mph over the limit and lock in the cruise control in the right lane.
