Yeah I guess the other day I was doing something wrong when I had a Honda 6in from my rear bumper on a residential street...with a 25mph limit...and I was doing oh 40-42ish.
Way to slow it seems.
So I slammed on my brakes and stopped and let him pass me. Sadly he did not get to buy me a new rear bumper.
On one road in the marsh I tried an experiment once. I think some people are just programmed to lock onto you about a foot away. I had a car on my bumper and I wanted to see how fast I would have to go to satisfy them. I was doing 45 in a 40 and speed up, at about 65 they had an oh crap moment and backed off. Than I pulled over and let them pass, and they wouldn't go over 40.
I think some people never look at their speedo, they just lock onto the car in front of them. Once their in the lead they don't know what to do, see it on the highway all the time.
