today's driving tard....
today's driving tard....
50mph two lane... I come up to a honda SUV doing 42ish. It's a passing
zone. It's clear. I pass. He accelerates. I accelerate more. I finish
the pass and resume going 50mph. I turn at the next intersection. 35mph
two lane, no passing. Guess what? honda SUV is soon on my bumper. I
point to the 35mph speed limit sign, his response is the finger... I
enter a 25mph zone... now he's like inches from impact... then he backs
off... Go through a 4 way stop... leave him way behind as he has to wait
his turn. Soon enough he's on my ass again. next light I pass someone
and leave him stuck behind that garden variety sloth....
One of the worst kinds of driver... he drives the same speed everywhere
and does not like it if someone is going slower or faster than him.

Did you sneak off to Missouri without notifying us? :^)
That's SOP here.

Equivalent in lack of quality is the one on the open highway (clear of
heavy traffic), with no change in the posted SL, whose speed varies
from 15 below to 15 above, and not operating a truck (have to beat
GPSTroll on mentioning that exception). Choose a speed and stick with
it until the speed zone changes already!

Believe it or not this tard had chicago city stickers on his vehicle.
What he was doing that far out away from the city I have no idea.

I find it so comical that some drivers take somebody passing them like that
SO personal. Driving and being thin-skinned isn't a good combination. It's
often the seeds of road rage.

Let us consider the OP, for some mild comical relief.
He feels he must pass, even though he will be turning off shortly.
That seem more an emotional decision than a rational one.
Then, in an ironic twist, characterizes the other driver as "one of
the worst" because they don't like someone to their front going
slower. Not much rationality trying to bust out there.
Should we believe the OP was not tailgating before he passed the SUV,
and the SUV driver likewise retaliated? Or was it just because they
don't like it if "someone is going slower or faster" than they?
The accuracy of the account, boring as it is, is highly suspect, but
even as described it reflects nothing smart about the OP, his
decisions or conclusions.

Oh, wait, you've never not been a dickbag.
Why do you still post here? Do you enjoy being universally disliked?

Just as enjoyable- those that go slooow everywhere, except where its
possible to pass. Those spots, SL+10.
