Funny how everyone just seems to assume that people are in the left lane anytime anyone brings up shitbags tailgating.

People tailgate. They tailgate in the left lane. The right lane. The turning lane, the parking lot, fuck they probably tailgate in driveways.

There is no excuse for it. Whether or not you want to go faster than the person in front of you or not. It is dangerous and selfish under all circumstances.

I actively go slower the closer they get to my bumper, eventually I get slow enough that they feel confident enough that their expensive car or truck can pass

I’m a school bus driver and we were taught to do exactly this when somebody tailgates us. Tailgaiting a school bus is remarkably pointless anyway, since a car that close behind becomes completely invisible to us. I can only know somebody is doing it at night because of the faint glow in my side mirrors that I maybe eventually notice.

This is exactly what I was taught to do in driver’s ed.

Well if you’re not in the scenario I just outlined I guess I’m not talking about your situation, am I?

So it’s a scenario you made up to be angry at?

It has nothing to do with the scenario presented unless you make it about that.

You don’t like people in the left lane when they’re going slower than you? Sucks to be you.

Buddy if you think being behind someone who has no business being in the left lane is a made up scenario you sure are lucky in your little bubble, the rest of us live in the real world. Also I never said anything about it being OK to tailgate in my “made up” scenario, I just said in that situation you should get out of the left lane. So it seems you’re the one making it about something it isn’t ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
