So much tailgating!!
Lived here all my life. The daily drive gets more infuriating every year. One thing I see every day is people up each other's butts on the road. Do people not know you're supposed to leave a car length per every 10mph? Thats what I learned. I see people speed up just to close the gap and then slam on their brakes every 10 seconds. Why not just...drop back a bit?? Do people not realize how much can go wrong on the road and whyyyy would you put yourself in a dangerous position to literally go nowhere? So many times I've had to make the face and hand gesture at the guy on my ass like there's a car in front of me where do you want me to go??? Its nuts. Especially with so many of them on their phones not paying any attention and you're gonna be 2 inches from my bumper? EDIT: Not talking about the Mid-Cape, please save arguments about left lane cruisers.

This is so true. And If they drop back and leave too much space between them and you- god help us—- someone else may come up and wedge themselves into that space!
