I’ve had tailgaters while driving on the fucking right lane, but the worst are the ones that keep blinking the headlights despite me driving close to the speed limit on highways that have speed cameras every 200m.
I like the ones that ride your ass when you’re leaving an appropriate distance while in the left lane behind a dozen cars passing a line of a dozen cars at 1km/h because the driver at the front is oblivious
like, what do you want me to do, buddy? we’re here for the next five to ten minutes and nothinge I can do will change that
Worst I’ve seen is in the Chicago loop you can be stopped at a red light and people will come up behind you and lay on their horn to get out of their way so that they can run the red. Like taking a walk around being a tourist for an hour I saw it happen basically every light cycle at at least one light within my line of site that entire time
Fun fact: some car speedometers are usually set to show speed faster than what you are actually driving at, which can be tested with GPS. Also, the German Autobahn exists and limits are generally set to prevent accidents when accidents are liable to occur.
When people are generally horrible about determining when they have to drive carefully (or simply because local governments need more funds), they get treated as hard limits, but enforcement and usage varies widely. It and the backlash it would receive is the reason traffic enforcement hasn’t begun requiring and/or subpoena’ing people’s routes through GPS to automatically fine them when they exceed the limits, something they could easily do in today’s world. If you take that as saying that you can drive however you want though, you just need another asshole like yourself to have an accident.

If you’re in the right lane, and people are blinking their lights, those people need to fuck off and die.

I mean are you driving the speed limit though?
It’s a limit not a minimum

It’s absolutely a minimum if conditions aren’t bad. Get better tires and skill lmao
