The kind of drivers I'll never understand are the kind who will tailgate, but for whatever reason, won't change lanes and go around, even if they're wide open.
I mean if you're going to drive like an asshole, at least commit. People who half ass their road rage annoy me more than those who weave through traffic like suicidal morons.
In many cases I don't think they are even intentionally tailgating. They just suck at driving and they're used to following way too close at all speeds.
Yeah sometimes I think that might be the case too.
I guess some people are just so carefree that they don't even pay attention to their speedometer. They just scurry down the road at whatever speed feels right in their heart, only slowing down if another car gets in their way, so carefree that the concept of keeping a safe following distance doesn't even cross their minds.
You're probably right—they're not raging—they're just blissfully unaware of how bad their driving is.
My mother in law does this. She's entirely unaware that she's doing it. She's incapable of driving at any semblance of a consistent speed. She knows some of her health problems and practices make driving unsafe and specifically bought a vehicle with a shitton of assists to try to compensate, then gets upset when the assists yell at her for tailgating, diverging from the lane, cutting off vehicles in her blind spot etc.
That's when you set your cruise control to exactly the speed limit and sit back to enjoy the show.
I would if I was even more petty than I already am—but I drive a sports car—so my goto technique is to drop a gear and disappear; show them how a real asshole drives. 😜
(But seriously, why not just go around me? Are they allergic to changing lanes? Buy blind spot mirrors and set them correctly if fear is the issue. They're ~$3 at Wally World.)
