Wait, so the dude honked after her because she was speeding 20 above the limit (imo justified), and she's pretending of taking the high road by slowing down 30 under the limit just to spite him for her being wrong? ๐ค
Or maybe it's oddly phrased and he was going 30 over and the petty lane is justified. (Personally I'd go 40-45, just to be not too slow as to be dangerous).
Wait, so the dude honked after her because she was speeding 20 above the limit (imo justified),
How does this work exactly? It would mean the person honking was also going 20 above the limit. So they sped up so they could honk at the person for speeding?
Just seems like two assholes if you ask me.
I was on a 3 lane highway going interstate. Doing 80 in a 65 on the fast lane. Big rig in the middle lane. Slowly gaining and will pass the bog rig.
Then a pickup is coming up in the fast lane TOO FAST. Easily 100mph. She tailgates me. Now boxxed in with me in front and the big rig on her right. A sane person would go in the third lane and pass us since zero other cars around. But no.
She lays on her horn and starts swaying with impatience.
So I match speed with the big rig. Maintaining the box. She honks ways more and sways even more. Shaking her fist at me.
I maintain it for another 2 minutes until my wife gets concerned she'll rear end us and we end up spinning off the highway or under the big rig.
I give in and speed up past the big rig and change lanes to her wacko pass. They speed off.
Yeah it's never worth it. You never know what people will do.
Very true. Many people act irrationally behind the wheel. Only God knows how pathetic their life must be that they want to risk life and limb to get somewhere 3 minutes faster.
Yeah, better to just get them the fuck away from you ASAP than to be petty. They're not worth the risk since they've already established they're shitty drivers.
This comment section is a very good case study in why better public transportation is absolutely necessary: a lot of you should not ever drive.
This is why I'm in favor of public transit. So many people should not be on the road. This goes for the granny under the speed limit drivers and the insane road ragers.
I've never understood why people pick on drivers under the speed limit. It's called a limit, why do we expect people to be over it?
Once she gets to work she finds a sign taped to the back of the car saying "honk it's my birthday"
What to do when you have a tailgater behind you:
- Foot off the gas.
- Wait until the tailgater tries to overtake you.
- PIT maneuver.
- Keep driving safely.
I just let them pass you. Not worth some lunatic you piss off even more and end up shooting you.
70 in a 50 zone. Doesn't matter if its km/h or mph, that's just idiotic.
exactly, the engineers should never have made a road with that big of a discrepancy between safe speed and listed speed limit
The engineers only make the designed safe speed. Government officials make the listed limit. It used to be EXTREMELY popular for government official to knock 20-25% off the design limit of the road, ironically so they can tell everyone how safe they were.
Is this lady using her phone while driving, after speeding by 20MPH and thinking it's a flex? If she uses it at 20MPH I'd bet she uses it at 70 MPH too! Couldn't this have waited until she was safely off the road?
I expect this is sarcasm (can't know, because of Poe's)
But for anyone genuinely thinking this you can see the dashcam source in her glasses reflection.
- Escalates the angry driver situation.
- Takes photos while driving.
Neither driver here is in the right.
When people ride my ass while I am doing (at least) the speed limit I just take my foot off the gas to gently slow down until they go around me. If its only one lane then I will go under the speed limit. Im petty too like that
It's not just petty, it's safety.
You can't influence the size of the safety margin between you and the car behind you. But you can influence the speed at which the person behind you slams into you in case of an accident, by reducing the speed that both of you drive.
When I drive in deer country, especially at night, I will always slow up when encountering a tailgater because I might have to brake hard for an animal and don't want to hit a deer AND/OR get rear ended - going slower means they will at least hit me less hard. They can go around if they don't like my speed. Also, statistics show that drivers that stay well behind other vehicles have far fewer accidents. Finally, traffic tends to travel at the speed of the slowest drivers on the road, so they gain little on our curvy, hilly two lane roads.
Using phone while driving... Great.
Fuck everyone who ever touches their phone while the vehicle is on. This shit is not okay, ever.
-
The phone is clearly mounted on the dashboard.
-
It's not uncommon for people to record their whole trip for social media, not just take to a picture.

This caption could have been pasted over a completely unrelated screenshot of someone else's video for all we know.
Don't touch your phone while driving, but also, don't believe everything you see on social media.
Ikr the number of people going "hurr they do phone use" has me wondering when the fuck people lost basic cognitive skills.
I have some great news for you. Look at what took effect yesterday in my state! Using a mobile device, including at a red light, is now a primary offense (you'll get pulled over for just that).
This just applies to PA, but it's a pretty big state with a population between Sweden and the Netherlands, so it's not nothing!
Yeah, honking at me. And those flashing lights on the roof of their car are really annoying.
Love reading threads about driving cause everyone is very upset for no discernible reason.
The only reason I accept to not let these people pass is if it forces you do something unsafe, like throwing yourself over to the next lane and slamming on the brakes to match speed with the other cars. Otherwise just give them the lane and let them be a reckless ass somewhere else away from you. Safer that way. It's not your job to enforce traffic rules.
