It 100% is a sense of entitlement. They want to be free to do what they want and for everybody else to be free to do what they want lol. Boomer energy.

 

hey come on now give the guy a break... isn't it bad enough their whole empire went to pot?

 

I wish we had a like button in here lol

Done! hahaha

 

i only even know about CompuServe because of the family guy star wars special lmao

 

I’ll fax you a write up about it lol

 

like you never break the law, lol.

and i'm sure you never break the law when driving either. lol

and i do. stop making a mountain out of a mole hill and pontificating over and over.

i have little issue with most speeders... my issue is with dangerous tailgating which some drivers (of any age) seem to think is ok. and once again, i will pull over, but when i'm ready and it's safe to do so, not because the car/truck behind is 2 feet from my bumper.

have no issue with that.

here we go... feel better? lol. i guess you don't drive on congested roads. i can be in the left lane passing people in the middle/right lanes and someone (yes, a jerk) comes flying up behind. happens often. sure i'll get over, but sometimes that's not so easy on a congested road. i may HAVE to slow to get over! is that breaking the law? and if i can't get over what am i supposed to do, try to 'get away' from the tailgater? i don't care if taking my time irritates the jerk behind in their 'death race'.

again, you're projecting a situation and making a generalization without knowing the circumstances.

wrong in every way.

ok, but do you fly up to someone's rear bumper at those speeds to 'make' them pull over?

oh so now you're agreeing with me, lol. you're in florida... if you're on the turnpike which between where i live and orlando is only 2 lanes a side until they finish the expansion, people in the right lane are often doing 60 so you have to stay in the left lane even if you only want to do the speed limit (which almost everyone in the left lane exceeds).

understood.

you've lost the plot. you love to speak for 'we' in threads and now it's 'they' for anyone you disagree with.

ha, that's funny... i've been in u.s. longer than i was in uk and couldn't care less about royalty, british empire, etc.

 

and steve, since you're an expert on everything including the law, tailgating is also illegal.

Florida:

In Florida, tailgating is a traffic violation that occurs when a driver follows another vehicle too closely:
Definition
Florida Statute 316.0895(1) states that drivers should not follow other vehicles more closely than is reasonable and prudent.
Factors
When determining if tailgating has occurred, drivers must consider the speed of the vehicles, traffic, and highway conditions.
Penalties
Tailgating is a non-criminal traffic infraction, so drivers will usually receive a fine and points on their license. Repeat offenders may have their license suspended or taken away. If tailgating causes an accident, drivers may face additional charges, especially if they injure another driver.
The three-second rule
A common guideline for determining if a driver is tailgating is the three-second rule. Drivers can pick a landmark on the road, like a sign or tree, and count how many seconds it takes to reach that landmark after the car in front of them reaches it.

 

You're the one calling people JERKS in all caps lol

The "we" would be the multiple other posters that have commented on your post and said the same thing that I've said. The "they" would be people who seek to control what other people do on the road by refusing to yield to drivers that they feel shouldn't be driving faster than them. Where is your comment to Blaze for the use of the word "they"? Because he used it first and I responded to him.



Again, other people breaking the law doesn't give you cover to also break the law. You can't control what other people do, you can only control what you do.

Sorry for being knowledgeable lol. I have no interest to pretend I don't know things to preserve somebody's ego.

 

just learned florida this year enacted additional law so that 'cruising' in the left lane is illegal always (except for passing).

https://mynews13.com/fl/orlando/news...ft-lane-bill-#

again it's hard to see how this is enforced in dense traffic, except for the left lane person who is clearly holding up traffic and isn't passing anyone to their right.

 

This is the issue. If someone is riding my rear bumper, I’m getting the hell out of the way because clearly they are in a hurry and I’m in their way and plus I don’t know how good their brakes are.

Only way I won’t immediately move over is if I’m in the middle of passing a slower vehicle and I see myself being stuck behind the slower vehicle for a while before I can get around it. Otherwise I’m getting the hell out of the way.

 

Same, if I can immediately move over I immediately move over.

 

Maybe we should take it down a notch so we don't get the thread closed.

I put an FC Bayern sticker on my car last week and the red and blue match the car perfectly. Isn't that fun?

 

you do you. i don't want to be in front of the jerk that is tailgating for longer than necessary either, but i won't be bullied into pulling over because they think they own the road. i have a right to pull over when i think it's safe and if that takes a few more seconds than a-hole behind would like, oh well. what i'm describing is different than the 'left lane bandit' who just doesn't move out of the lane. this doesn't apply for me to those who are going faster and pull up behind, but not right on my bumper. civil behavior gets a civil response.

ah so there are exceptions but isn't that illegal?
