DRIVE MORE BETTER
You’ve got to learn to get the vehicle out of first gear. 20 kms an hour is too slow even in a school zone !
So maybe when you grow up , you can try again, or better yet, take the bus & save us the agrivation of being stuck behind you & you can save money.
Sounds like a win win situaltion.
Tailgate me = I go slower
if you ever wondered how control freaks behave you just give Calvin here a call
I hate being in a car with someone who is tailgating! I just want to choke them! Especially on the highway.
Hahahaha!! The OP is great. I feel yo pain, man.
have you driven the round a bout yet? that is always fun,even before it was called that,just eager assholes.
I hate walking tail gaters — you know, the ones who are literally walking up your ass.
I may be one of those Pretty Kitty… I’m a fast walker and I always have those uncomfortable moments when I have to “pass” someone on the sidewalk – there’s that few seconds where it appears we are going at the same clip and then I end up “sprinting” ahead to save me (and most likely them) from the discomfort! lol
I’m on Calvin’s side. Tailgating is dangerous. You do it, I WILL go slower until you either pass me or fuck off. If I was driving under the speed limit I’d understand, but I’m typically going about 10 km/h over.
I think that tailgaters think they are “punishing” slow drivers, but they’re putting themselves at risk as well 😛
Seriously!! I get mine in a few weeks and I will never stop being terrified.
All the bozo drivers were out wreaking havoc in traffic on Friday. Not sure why that happens on certain days. Maybe the planets need to align in a certain way.
