I have a strategy for when I get tailgated in the slow lane and it's not brake checking because that's what they expect. I'll lock the cruise control to my desired speed. They get right up on my ass and don't back off, I speed up putting space between me and them. At this point they'll speed up and I'll take my foot off the gas and let the car slow down back to cruise control speed. Repeat as necessary. The trick is to never touch the brakes. The driver behind me is alternating between speeding up and hitting the brakes. Eventually they'll get tired of it and either pass or back off

What's with Lemmy and Avatar memes as of late?

Not that I'm complaining. I'm a foaming mouth guy tier fan, but I see a Koh the Face Stealer meme as more niche than, I dunno, a Doge meme or Spongebob.

Occasionally I just get on trends. If I see something posted and I've got memes of it, I'll stick with the trend. Sometimes I'm just like fuck it I'ma just post the same thing a bunch which is why last week I had like 8 ratatoiulle memes in one day

I'm all for that.

There was a King of the Hill phase I was rather fond of too.

I love my Mustang for this one reason. People don’t ride my ass and get out of my way. It’s nice.

I drive a NV200 (compact cargo van).

I could be driving warp 7 in a school zone and I swear people would be passing me and flipping the bird. It's like they see that is not made for speed, so they're required to treat it as slow.

I’d say those are hard to see around. So people are passing you to clear up their view.

It's really not, though. It's what New York uses for Taxis.

Does it have windows or metal doors and sides?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

It’s the same when there’s a BMW, Audi or MB behind you. You can’t go fast enough to get them in your neck.

my radar detector says time to let them by

Why the hell is speeding so normalized?

[-] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago

Because on a lot of highways the speed limit is a joke. The 4 lane one I take to work is completely straight for like 30 miles and they have it set at 60mph. Many vehicles can (and do) easily go 80-90 on that without an issue. Proper lane usage and adhering to a safe following distance are far more important in terms of safety. There shouldn't even be a speed limit in my opinion considering the wide variety of vehicles on the road. It's pretty simple, drive as slow as you want just do it in the correct lane unless you're passing. Signal. Pass in the passing lane. Don't tailgate.

If they need to write tickets for revenue they can get people for cruising in the wrong lane all day long.

Easy fix, go 10 mph under. If they are still a dick, keep slowing down

The closer you get the slower I drive

Edit: in the right lane. I ain't no fucking hammer lane cruiser

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Same. I just take the cruise control down slowly until they back off. If they get off my ass, we can go back to the speed limit.

I've had people tailgate me in the right lane for miles before deciding to pass, even with a completely open left lane. And it's usually a pickup.
