There are a lot of truly psychopathic drivers on I-5 between Vancouver to Olympia.
I've definitely been known to cruise at 85-90mph
i totally hear what you’re saying that your speeding doesn’t make it okay for folks to brake check you. but, shit. 90mph is still dangerous as fuck. and selfish, and kinda dickish. it immediately fills me with adrenaline and anxiety when someone whizzes past me at that speed, and i’m guessing that’s fairly normal for most people. and it can cause accidents, even if you believe yourself to be a “safe driver”. plus, at 90mph, you have very little chance to survive an accident. and worse, it makes it more unlikely that those traveling at a responsible speed who are involved in the accident will survive. so regardless who is at fault, you’re reducing their chances of surviving the accident.
those that are fucking with you are simply recognizing your risky behavior as being on par with theirs. this should tell you something about how your driving is perceived by others.
slow the fuck down.

It’s all fun and games until you cause a 50 car pileup and killing several people in your desire to “teach that upstart a lesson.”
Or maybe if someone going 90 that doesn’t mean you should play fast and loose with the lives of everyone on the road.

Even if 90 mph is dangerous that doesn’t justify people fucking with you while in the middle of doing something so dangerous, that just makes it even more dangerous

nowhere did i say that. i just want OP to recognize that their own actions are also very dangerous, because they seem to be oblivious to that.
