Where I live, there is a 2 lane, double yellow line road that is very curvy and the speed limit is 25. People routinely drive like maniacs on this road and as a result, there are some places where people who want to turn either on or off the road have difficulty.

I have to utilize one of these intersections daily. So, when I get on that road, I become "speed limit joe" and set the cruise control to 25. Usually, folks behind adjust and back off and settle in. Some will tailgate... some will tailgate and then if the opportunity arises, will risk passing over the double yellow - but because of the traffic on this road, it's not typically an option.

All this is all not that unusual - but here's my "chef's kiss" - if I have a really persistent and aggressive tailgater, I will intentionally miss my turn and take the extra time to remain in front of them on this road until they have to turn.

In many states and jurisdictions, it is considered aggressive driving and punishable by law. Seems many of you need driving school. NP here.

You might be including me in those who need driving school. I do not, and I would guess that posters here agree more than they disagree. The poster who does the passive aggressive thing about slowing down does not do it in the left lane. Nobody is advocating for that. Except in the case of going slowly in the passing lane so that cars are passing you on the right, going the speed limit is never illegal. You can even go *under* the speed limit, even if you are slowing things down, if you are using flashers.

Unless I'm on a residential road I try not to hold up traffic. Like, I will slow way down if it's a short passing lane, and I always go at least five over on freeways. But people really do need to get a grip and be more patient. To say the people going the speed limit are the ones causing accidents is absurd.

It is not. Where do people come up with this ridiculous stuff?

+1. Especially on the highway if I am not in the passing lane.

And if you miss the turn into Tyson's off of 123 just before International Drive and then try to make the left through lane your own personal turn lane then I will lay on my horn behind you until you move.

Wow, you think about this way more than you should.

It was part of my normal commute home for several years. Trust me, you'd think about it too.

If parking in front of her house annoys her then she is nuts and it is well deserved!

IKR? I don’t understand that mentality.

It’s because people who purposely try to annoy others are emotionally immature and don’t know how to deal with their feelings. So they act like children. It’s quite pathetic. What small minds.

Barnes and Nobles. Costcos. That type of thing.

Why?

You are the person that causes accidents even though you don’t realise it. Because people are constantly changing lanes because of you.

What if somebody is just going the speed limit?? I think it’s odd to go the speed limit to get back at somebody but it really is okay to go the speed limit in the right lane or when it’s one lane. I always go the speed limit if it’s 25 mph because it’s low for a good reason and it’s irritating when people tailgate me because they are clearly frustrated about it. Going 30 in a residential neighborhood is what is unsafe, not going the speed limit.

+1. I always drive the speed limit. To those who don’t like it, plan your time better.

Generally I agree, but you have to pace yourself with the majority of the traffic. If everyone is going 10 mph over the speed limit except for you, you are the one more likely to cause an accident.

Nope. That’s not what the law says. Again plan your time better.

I'm less concerned about the law than about not causing an accident. And if you think police are going to ticket everyone, when everyone is speeding, you're wrong. It's funny to me that you're saying "plan your time better" because I am actually a cautious and slow driver, but when literally every car on the road is passing me, I realize that I better speed up a bit.

You do you. I’ll be sure to give a friendly honk and a wink as you pass!

I prefer the one finger salute.

I win.

This is how you get a lawnmower collision.

It’s okay. My car is a mess anyway. Always dirty, dings and scratches. Probably makes her even more furious, which of course is the goal.

LOL. One of my neighbors was/is so petty, he actually stole the emblem off the other neighbors posh car - when the neighbor with the posh car was parked in front of their own house! People are messed up in the head. I would feel bad for them, but they are beyond repair, it seems.
