I can't stand tail-riders, either. Of course, I can't
say that I'm innocent of never doing it. If you
catch me in the right mood, I'm bad for hitting
my brakes twice really hard just to get them to
back off, it almost never works.

because I'm apparently not going fast enough
for them. It seems no matter how fast I drive,
there's somebody in a hurry to get somewhere
(probably to an accident waiting to happen!)
who comes up behind me and then hangs
there at a much-too-close, highly-unsafe
distance. I usually use cruise control set at
about five miles above the speed limit (which,
believe it or not, is legal here according to the
BMV handbook), but even when I drive faster,
this almost always happens. I'm not mean
though. If I was mean I'd slam on my brakes to
scare 'em. Instead I just try to get out of their
way so they can speed on their way to
whatever accident or ticket-writing cop awaits
them :)
