5 minute video of how a bunch of emo kids controlled the freeway and beat the system by obeying the law.

I realize what they're trying to prove but it's a science experiment at cost that is potentially very, very, very high.

Had one lady that was tailgaiting in a 30 where I was going 45, then got piessed as she tapped the back of my truck when I hit the brakes. Pretty new camaro with a large scrape in the hood. Funny how asfter ahs didn't want to call the cops, but I got her plate number.

Usually what I will do is just drive along, roughly 75-80 in a 65 zone, which is a comfortable speed in these areas. But if you go 81, they are all over you. So when someone comes up on my butt, I slow down a little bit. I let them pass me on the left, and then I speed up so the person infront of them in the new lane ends up blocking them in. Then, they have to get back behind me again. Ha, anytime I can pull this off 2-3x on the way home, it's a fun trip

Sometimes the best thing is to wait for a nice safe place to go with enough room for this, then to pull out and really hit the accelerator, before many of these people can react. Course that's assuming one has a faster reaction time... As long as a person has enough room to do it safely, doesn't entirely matter, and if their brain is too slow to react so quick; one got to do what they needed without their ego getting in the way :up: Course it also depends on the person, as some people just like going 20 mph below the speed limit, and don't get such ego issues if others don't do the same...
Oh, and last time I was in Montanna, they only had night time and truck speed limits. Cars, and during the day, could go "whatever is reasonable and proper" with no set limit
Actually, come to think of it, the people who go real slow and then get all bent out of shape should someone go around them; and the people who will tail gate, give the high beams too, and act like a general sh**head to those going well above the speed limit, despite the fact they could safely pass; have one problem in common... They both act as if they own the road, and as if they had the right to manipulate all other people into doing whatsoever they might chose at a whim. This instead of just minding their own business, and leaving others to mind theirs...
