Wait, so the dude honked after her because she was speeding 20 above the limit (imo justified), and she's pretending of taking the high road by slowing down 30 under the limit just to spite him for her being wrong? πŸ€”

Or maybe it's oddly phrased and he was going 30 over and the petty lane is justified. (Personally I'd go 40-45, just to be not too slow as to be dangerous).

Where are y'all going that you gotta pretend real life is GTA? Ain't nobody need you that bad. You're late. Get over it.

I was on a 3 lane highway going interstate. Doing 80 in a 65 on the fast lane. Big rig in the middle lane. Slowly gaining and will pass the bog rig.

Then a pickup is coming up in the fast lane TOO FAST. Easily 100mph. She tailgates me. Now boxxed in with me in front and the big rig on her right. A sane person would go in the third lane and pass us since zero other cars around. But no.

She lays on her horn and starts swaying with impatience.
So I match speed with the big rig. Maintaining the box. She honks ways more and sways even more. Shaking her fist at me.

I maintain it for another 2 minutes until my wife gets concerned she'll rear end us and we end up spinning off the highway or under the big rig.

I give in and speed up past the big rig and change lanes to her wacko pass. They speed off.

Yeah it's never worth it. You never know what people will do.

Yeah, better to just get them the fuck away from you ASAP than to be petty. They're not worth the risk since they've already established they're shitty drivers.

Very true. Many people act irrationally behind the wheel. Only God knows how pathetic their life must be that they want to risk life and limb to get somewhere 3 minutes faster.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

It wasn't even about going faster at that point.

I was trying to force them to slow down and go around... Instead they went apeshit.

Truly. I’ve been on the motorway before with a dude seemingly angry about something I did, not sure what, that he was chasing me across the motorway even if I went from lane 4 to 1 and back he was there.

Some people are insane. Best to avoid them even if you can handle yourself as some people won’t let it go and not worth the fight if you’re not immediately in danger.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 13 hours ago

Yep I'd call the cops at that time. Not fucking around.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 18 hours ago

It’s good to slow down to get the traitor off your ass, but be careful: our traitor zoomed around us and cut us off out of spite. My girlfriend pointed out that behavior like that will get that worthless dumbfuck shot one day.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 18 hours ago

Sometimes i really wish i had the time to get into a fenderbender, just so that the asshole behind gets their comeuppance.

Not an actual encouragement for break checking idiots, please be safe.

Is this lady using her phone while driving, after speeding by 20MPH and thinking it's a flex? If she uses it at 20MPH I'd bet she uses it at 70 MPH too! Couldn't this have waited until she was safely off the road?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 19 hours ago

I expect this is sarcasm (can't know, because of Poe's)

But for anyone genuinely thinking this you can see the dashcam source in her glasses reflection.

What to do when you have a tailgater behind you:

  1. Foot off the gas.
  2. Wait until the tailgater tries to overtake you.
  3. PIT maneuver.
  4. Keep driving safely.
