I typically take a non competitive posture while driving by leaving a few car lengths ahead of me and just taking it easy and letting the zoomers do what they want.

When they see that I will not come out and play they settle down, and the ones that don't are having emotional problems and go vent their problems else where.

However sometimes I feel the need for speed and make a short burst to get ahead of the sloppy drivers/texters etc and get out front of the group to be safer and 9 out of 10 times someone jumps in behind and tries to hang.

If I lead a hanger-on into something beyond what their car is capable of I may feel a little bad, but on the other hand that is driver education, and in the worst case scenario Darwinism at work.

I'd be more concerned about any other innocent folks that may be faced with the aftermath of the hanger-on loosing control.

Maybe we need a warning sticker on our popup spoiler "Pursue at your own Risk"
