...but typical of the youth.  Mine would be the opposite.  You're driving the speed limit and the young woman in the car behind you tailgates you.  You look up in the rear view mirror, see her obviously frustrated face, wonder why she doesn't change lanes, and (being a bit of bastard) slow down just a bit!

It's another day in paradise...

My rule is that it's always ok to drive 1-9 miles per hour over the speed limit (average about 5 or so) depending on where you are.  On the expressway, make it 10-15 depending on the circumstances. You know, if you're in the middle of some no-name place with no cars, why not 15 over?

But yes, I have no patience for tail-gaters, can't stand them.  I also have a problem with people who use their horns constantly. 


A horn should be used sparingly, like a strong spice.

Thanks for reminding me of the bumpersticker I am going to make:  I Brake for Tailgaters!

Because I do.
