I have a 60 minute commute, one way, mostly interstate. Here is the greatest advice I've ever received.
Pass people at least 10mph faster than they're going.
People are horrible at using their cruise control. Even those that do use it will instinctively push down on the accelerator when they get passed because of the herding mentality. Ever been on a long highway and encoutnered groups of cars, in little herds of maybe 4 or 5, all next to each other? There may be several miles between these pods.
The single most dangerous place you can be on the highway is next to another few-thousand-pound vehicle doing 70-80mph, yet it's exactly where people want to be.
The only way to break others of wanting to match your speed and stick with you is to pass them at a speed fast enough that the instinct won't register.
Even if you're going, let's say, 72 and you want to pass someone going 70. Ramp it up to 80 while you pass or that person will suddenly be in your rear view mirror for the next 10 minutes until their brain tells them to pass you for some inexplicable reason, just to slow down back to 70 another couple miles up the road, initiating a leap frog.
Another piece of great advice is to never let BMW owners merge.
this roundabout. the exit straight over from this entrance is a small dual carriageway, so you can use both lanes to go straight over
as you can clearly see from the picture there is room enough for two vehicles to get around it safely with plenty of room, including artics, BUT people constantly drift across both lanes before exiting into the left lane, or they'll exit to the right from the left and vice versa, with no indicators, and when you honk at these cunts they don't understand what they've done wrong
fuck i get so triggered god damnit fuckfuck FUCK i have to drive there today SHIT FUCKIN PISS
>If you're being tailgated, user, it's because you're going too slow in the passing lane. nah man. when i'm 10-20 over the speed limit and constantly passing cars, you don't have any right to tailgate me. just calm your tits.
Oliver Smith
you're going slower than that person your fragile ego will be okay if you let them pass
Carson Richardson
that doesn't make tailgating acceptable, ever.
Caleb Robinson
In a city it's acceptable. When there's no other cars on the road and there's more than a single lane, then fucking overtake. I don't want to be rear ended if a deer runs out into the road.
Nolan Richardson
i don't think it's smart to make this about ego. when i'm 10-20 above the speed limit and passing other cars, i'm doing nothing wrong. the tailgater can wait.
Lucas Perez
You realize that if you just moved over for literally 5 seconds the tailgater would drive away?
