The only time I feel like teaching someone a lesson while driving is someone going the exact speed limit or below in the left lane. They aren’t driving aggressively, they are just not paying attention. I just want to get in front of them and slow down until they get frustrated and get out of the left lane, at which

I’ve noticed that if a car zooms past me on the freeway going 90 mph, other cars will start to speed up and drive more aggressively. It’s some sort of weird lizard-brain human behavior.

Because my 3000 pound sports car with track pads can stop in about 130 feet from 70mph while idiot in the 6000 pound Tahoe 10 feet off my bumper will take about 50-60 feet more than that. That’s why you don’t tailgate. Because the vast majority of accidents are rear enders where someone was too close and/or not paying

There is an etiquette for situations like that: Put on your hazards. If you are having an emergency and you need to drive that unsafe you put on the hazards to inform others that something is going on. No hazards mean you’re just an asshole. 

Isn’t human nature the best? This is literally WHY we had Trump as president and why people — as a whole — won’t ever be willing to unite in the “United” states: we want to actually hurt (in whatever context it takes form) complete strangers who get ahead of us or get something we don’t.

Some tailgaters are a—holes but some are just exasperated drivers who would like to drive faster than the traffic in front of them and can’t understand why they won’t move. I don’t understand why anyone would care that someone wants to drive faster than they do. It’s not some insult to you and your family if someone

Guilty as charged. My daily commute has two spots where it’s two straight lanes at the light, with the lane on the right ending immediately and merging after the intersection. The gentlemanly thing is to leave the right lane open so people turning right can go on red, since we all have to get into the one through lane

Yea, my general view these days is “go wreck elsewhere” and let them by, or take another route, or otherwise just get a far from them as I can before things like this happen and I get caught in the crossfire. 

This.  Had I been in the Raptor and seen that idiot approaching from behind, I would have sped up and gotten into the right lane so he could go on his merry way.  I don’t want to be around those kinds of idiots any longer than I have to.

The Raptor driver wasn’t just left lane squatting. He was actively blocking the Accord. Pay attention to the acceleration of the Raptor when the Accord moves to pass on the shoulder. The Raptor driver went well past being “rude.”

I’m pissed at both, but the Raptor is the lead asshole for involving the other cars in that crap between the Raptor and Accord.

The Raptor was brake-checking and sped up to block the Accord; that behavior could have easily killed somebody, and not just the asshole in the Accord.

They’re both assholes; the Accord is the aggressive asshole, is all. I see people drive like this, and I want to give them as much room as possible, because I like my truck, and I don’t want to be anywhere near an accident.

Sometimes they do it just to be sheer dicks. On a recent drive to another state I watched a young couple (maybe in their 20's) block the left lane and pace the cars on the right to keep people from passing. They would intentionally slow down enough so someone would try and pass by them in the right lane only to speed

It’s just simply not worth it. We see how it ended in this instance, and we’ve now seen multiple instances of people pulling guns. It’s just not worth it. It’s to the point where if I see two people aggressively driving and clearly antagonizing one another, I get as far away as I can for fear of gunfire erupting.

I don't think people are comparing. Raptor? Asshole. Honda? Asshole. Guy cheering for someone getting hurt? Asshole.

Really amazed at the “both-sides-ism” here.

It’s unclear if the two had had a prior run-in on the road, or if the truck driver simply didn’t want the sedan getting ahead.

Now playing

The recovery plan written by the 9SRW stated that in foreign stations, the recovery team would all wear civilian clothes so as not to disclose who was military. This did not sit well with General Aamoth! He told me to tell Col. Hertzog to have all military personnel wear military uniforms.

20 years active duty AF and I only saw a flying Blackbird once. May 1973, Korat RTAFB, Thailand. I was in a hanger working on a F105G Wild Weasel when this ungodly roar came from outside overhead. I raced outside and barely saw the rapidly climbing and diminishing unmistakable aft view of the SR-71. Next time was in
