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 :)

The thing I don't like is when I'm driving on the freeway in busy traffic. We've got five lanes going in each direction and EVERYBODY is tailgating. You have two choices: (1) Succumb to peer pressure and tailgate at the fairly high risk of having to slam on your brakes for all you're worth. (2) Don't tailgate and then have every other tailgater cut in between you and the car in front of you, causing you to slam on your brakes for all you're worth.

Something is wrong with this picture.
