No matter how fast you get they’ll always be right there behind you, you could be going 60 65 70 in a 50 and they’ll still be right there behind you

Then as soon as they spot the smallest possible gap they'll get over into the other lane and tailgate that person until they spot another gap and get back over into your lane and tailgate the person who was in front of you, and on and on and on. They never use turn signals, and they never turn their lights on if it's dark and/or weathering out.

And if they do turn their lights on, you know it's gonna be the brightest fuckin blue LEDs you've ever seen. Instant daylight.

And these are the same people who will post in here about people driving slow in the left lane.

No one owes you anything. The person in front of you has the right of way. And tailgating is illegal and unsafe.

Sure but I'm not a left lane camper generally. But I have no sympathy for people who happen to be behind me when I'm passing- that's their problem, not mine, by law.

My parents are boomers... and my father is a habitual tailgater. I'm someone who values human life and thinks reckless driving is retarded and maladaptive. It has nothing to do with age, except I guess some young people are still caught in the fallacy that bad things can never happen to them. If you're behind me while I'm passing, you get to wait until I'm done, and if you tailgate, it's going to take longer until I'm done. Maybe someday you learn. Some people never do.
