In some cities, the drivers have really poor tolerance for things that irritate them, and poor impulse control. You might get yourself/passengers shot or forced into an accident by doing that.
That’s just dumb. Let them pass you. Slow down when they pass to shorten the length of time it takes. You don’t know if they have someone bleeding to death in the backseat.
But they don't need to get in front of me. The other lane is already faster, which is why they're passing me there. They can go as fast as they'd like once they're over there. They just want to bulldoze you out of the way to be dicks, and I don't really like tolerating people who are acting like dicks.
Am I when I do that? Yeah kinda, but I only see two choices.. let them get away with being a dick or do something, however small, about it.
Don't worry though, I've been over in a foreign country for a long time now. The drivers here are ridiculous. There are racial stereotypes about these people for this reason. I'm here, it's true (though, I will say, it basically works for them... I think it's more of a vastly different style than "bad driving". When you use this style in the US, you're going to cause an accident though). I just stay out of the way.
Happened to me last week. I was going 45 in a 35, went around the bend where another community begins and 25 mph speed trap. Police sitting there! Put on my brakes and got to 25 mph prior to entering the city. Cop pulled out behind me and I thought he was going to ticket me for the other community. I slowed to 22-25 mph just to annoy him. Stopped full stop and looked both directions twice before proceeding. He went another direction then. I guess they think we are stupid and can’t see in our rear view mirror! But the response to real crime takes forever. Ticketing speeders is definitely safer!
when they pull up behind me at stoplights with the boom boom boom noise that rattles ones soul I pause when the light changes to green then I go really slow. I hate that shit.
I do.... tailgate me all you want, I'll slow right down.
That's actually the recommended response, because now you are braking for two in case of hazards appearing ahead.
I slow down until they get fed up and go to pass me, and then I speed up.

Your a monster.

And oh so much more profitable, too.
You have that right. The last 5 days of the month are the worst-quota time!
That's because they are policy enforcement officers. Even the supreme court said they aren't there to protect you.
Very true!
