Sorry to bring this subject back up....BUT....Today on my way to the grocery a big pickup truck driven by a "Red kneck" crossed the center line towards me and then laughed as he passed me. Then a young female in a Jeep got on my tail about 6 ft away for about 5 miles AND THEN ....another pickup truck pulling a "Carolina Skiff"boat was on my tail at 62 MPH on a single lane road for about 10 miles. As we approached the "High Rise" Bridge over the ICW I slowed to about 15 mph to let him/her know that I was pissed. I have had enough....IT'S WAR from now on in NC. War , My friends !!!! No more "Nice Guy" What say you...DANGER ???

Milliemax, are you driving 45 mph in the fast lane? That sure would explain this kind of behavior.

Oh comon now, what are the odds any one of us is holding up the parade? It's usually some pine cone eater coasting in a Prius to set a new mileage record.

Some of you old farts drive slower than the speed limit, no matter what you're in! If I catch someone driving a Porsche slow down for an upcomings corner I immediately report them to the PCA.

Old Fart? Love to hear your game plan on not aging, apparently it includes a "james dean" chapter because you either age or die young. Having said that, people in my age group are actually looking at the road instead of banging out a critical LOL.

Move into the fast lane(aka the PASSING LANE) so that jerkwater can pass on the right? I think not!
It's usually in city traffic anyway or at a stop light. Douchebags will be douchebags...

I just do the Jäger maneuver and pretend you are quickly avoiding something in the road… Watch what happens to the traffic behind you.

It's on my daily freeway commute to and from work. It has nothing t do with interstates of FM roads. It's city driving where they're the worst, by far.

Ummm...its the speed LIMIT, not a suggestion, Lmao! Of course you should drive at or under it. It's not the speed "minimum".
I usually keep to the limit in town, but on the highway, all bets are off!

Tailgating by Mustangs is why I don't carry my gun in the Boxster.

In Houston you have to be an idiot to exacerbate a road rage incident. Everyone has a gun! My 65 year old mother-in-law in a Mini carries a gun with her. It's like Thunderdome out there.

Wild wild west thing is still in effect in Texas with the exception of riding a horse. Usually they tailgate if you are slow or in a hurry, sometimes I tailgate when I drive my Box I get heavy footed like everyone else here, this car has a never a dull moment.
