[QUOTE="donna723, post: 176500, member: 1883"] The ones that drive me nuts here are the ones that tailgate, which includes just about everybody but me! I NEVER do that ... it's just so dangerous, especially around here where there's more deer than people! Part of my drive to work is a 20-mile stretch on a busy 2-lane state road that is full of twists and turns and blind spots, and you never know when a deer might jump out in front of you. You have to be constantly on the lookout for them. There are very few straight stretches where you can pass at all. I do the speed limit or a little above - anything more on that road is just too dangerous. But every morning there will always be at least one fool who gets so close that they're practically tapping my back bumper! They will ride along like that until they get to where they can pass, go around, then come up behind the next one and tailgate them! I saw one the other day who really took his chances passing me where he shouldn't have (double yellow), then several other vehicles - and I watched him - he turned on to the interstate approx. [I]three seconds[/I] before I did ... so I guess saving all that time and endangering himself and everybody else on the road was worth it to him! He must have had big plans for that three seconds he gained! [/QUOTE]
