    When someone does this to me, I promise, I don’t care how late I am, you’re getting 10 mph under the limit.

    Try to pass, I’ll show you 10 over for that duration.

      When a car is following another there is a safe speed for the distance between the cars. If the person in back can’t maintain the proper distance, it is the person in fronts responsibility to maintain the proper speed.

        What a baffling comment. Driving at a slower speed would give the person behind you more time to react, which they need because they’re riding your ass regardless of your speed.

        Because Fuck them?

        Why not just give the bully your lunch money so they don’t beat you up?

          but you’re intentionally blinding yourself at that point

          it’s not like they’re going to have any idea what they’re doing wrong

          plus if they get in front of you, you can flash your lights at them so they at least have some idea of the issue at hand

          or i guess it’s harder to deal with your childhood baggage than to act like an adult and safely operate a two ton hunk of steel at breakneck speeds

            Retaliating is not worse than being being a dick?

            Are you stupid?

            If someone is bullying you, you’re not in the wrong for standing up for yourself.
