Yes and then you gave an example of tailgating

Which is usually done by people who think "limits" are "targets"

They’re not always related. You’re just bitching about driving habits you don’t like at this point.

Example: I won’t speed to tailgate because that’s dangerous af and a double whammy of illegal activity but I get really agitated by people who drive way below speed limits and actually do tailgate them because what they’re doing is annoying and dangerous so I have no problem annoying and scaring them right back because if they stopped short I likely wouldn’t be injured and may even be able to excuse the accident by pointing out they the other vehicle was technically driving at an unsafe speed.

I can only be so patient, if somebody is going 15 in a 35 and multiple cars behind me have beeped or god forbid crossed over a double yellow line to pass both of us then I am making that person as uncomfortable as possible until they pull over.

Dude, you're talking about annoying and scaring other drivers and you're saying THEY are dangerous? That's nuts - you are literally the kind of person I'm talking about - could you confirm, is it a BMW or an Audi that you drive?

Jeep

Would you care to guess wrong about anything else?

Surprised it’s not on there already.

The fact that you you think I’m the dangerous one in that scenario and not the guy driving 20 below a speed limit or the guy who crossed the double yellow line tells me you are not great with rules of the road.

I bet you drive under the speed limit and think there’s nothing wrong with it

I also get stuck behind slow drivers, I just don't threaten them for it like a psychopath - I didn't think I needed to say the guy overtaking on double yellows is driving dangerously

My pet peeve is the people that do 40 in a 60, then get to a 40 and do 45, but you know, I just enjoy my music instead like a normal human being

Nah I bet people are beeping at you constantly to hurry up. You defended slow drivers way too much. Not buying this now.
