Tailgating => rear-end collision. Just thought I'd point that out. And I was refuting a point about me talking about lane changes. You missed that too.

Speeding doesn't equal reckless driving. Given that failing to give way is more likely to lead to accidents than speeding, it's more akin to reckless driving than simply speeding.

LOL, you aren't going to change anyone's driving style. So instead , YOU are going to be more un safe by impeding the flow of traffic and then distracting yourself by trying to get plate numbers and making a call to the Police. You are a hoot !

Yes, it does.

Tell me where I'm impeding traffic? And I won't endanger anyone to get information, I'm not stupid.

So you're saying that going 70 in a 65 is reckless driving and is more dangerous than impeding the natural flow of traffic, despite what the law says?

I think that lets everyone know how much weight to give to your opinions here.

Remember back before the attempts to derail this when I mentioned 90 mph?

From this point forward if you demonstrate you have reading issues I'll skip your posts.

That's not what you said. You said speeding equals reckless driving. I can go back and point to exactly where you said that, without any qualifications, if you'd like to talk about demonstrating reading issues.

What I hate, and fail to understand is how drivers, actually quite a few, think that the road solely belongs to them. I have been in wall, to wall traffic, sometimes at a crawl, and sometimes doing 80+, yet someone will come up behind me and try to intimidate me by riding my bumper, or flashing their lights, and honking. Don't they realize that even if I could move over they will still have to deal with the thousands of cars that are ahead of me in that high speed lane? Is the whole world suppose to just yield to them? Look here you little snowflake, when I'm in the high speed lane and I'm going just as fast as the cars ahead of me, there's no way I'm giving up this spot, I owe you nothing!
