I live right by my kids school and you know who the worst offenders are? Mothers dropping off their kids at school. Try obey they school zone limit and they are on your ass or pass you in the oncoming lane.
Any four lane road I always keep in the right lane except for passing people.

I should have read it better.
Residential street, they are worse than an ass, not you
Yea, Soccer Moms are the worst
For tailgaters, brake light check them a few times, they generally will drop back

Stay alive every one! No Road Rage (Ms Seagul's got some crazy fingernails)
Just wanted to add.... that ... it wouldn't be a 1st time for me to see a guy in a Porsche... who could have done better with a Public Transport Card.
Oh and, Porsche family secret: +50% of the time when ppl tailgate you, its because they want to race with you  no harm

Back in the 70's I was following a car with a bumper sticker that said, "Honk if you love Jesus." They were very popular bumper stickers at the time, and I saw them everywhere. Thinking it was a fitting thing to do, I lightly tooted my horn with a couple of quick "Beep beep"s.
The other driver rolled down his window, flipped me off, and sped away. Seriously.

I speed up and get out of the way.
Could be a medical emergency
Could be late for work
Could be an incompetent / dangerous driver
Most likely just a jerk driving fast "winning" the only way they can I'd rather not associate with
I've posted this before but I had a pickup truck racing up an on ramp literally pushing me over a lane while "merging" when the red and blue lights came on behind him.

Get a bumper sticker that says "honk if you are a moron" and see how that gets reactions.

I never experienced angry drivers until I started driving the Boxster. WRXs and Muscle cars tail gate or speed up past me all the time. It's quite amusing. I'm enjoying my drive too much to care.
