I wasn’t the one going 40 in a 60 zone – that was the car in front of me! So pinning yourself to my bumper really wasn’t doing any good. If fact, even if I were the driver at the front of the pack, tailgating me doesn’t do much good. The closer you get, the slower I go, and no, it’s not to piss you off further because I know you’re suffering plenty if you’re that easily frustrated. I slow down because you’re putting my life at risk and I’d rather get rear ended at the slower speed.
By the way, I pulled over the first safe spot I could, and so did 40, and you’re leaning on the horn as you passed was pathetic. 40 was pretty clearly looking for a driveway or something, which can be kind of hidden on the Sambro Road, so think a little harder next. Maybe it’s time to take up mediating, or heavier meds.

I agree 100%!!! My tailgater the other day in the big black truck on Dutch Village Rd. laid on his horn as I waited to merge onto Joe Howe. There was, like, you know, a CAR COMING and I had a Yield.
Why do people insist on driving like that twit in the Grey Power ads???
I do slow down to piss them off though, I have to admit. It feels REALLY GOOD. 😛
Holy fuck OP…was this guy in a white Silverado with the plate # starting with DXF??? Remember a few weeks ago when the power went out one Sunday night news paper said a white pick-up truck side swiped a car and sent it into a power pole? This guy is a fucking nut case.
