I like to get as close as possible, You can tell you close enough when they cant see you in their side mirrors.

Darky,when people get too close to my car I slow down,a lot.
When they push up at a light,I leave the light reeeeal slow.
When I drive my old pick-up,with the industrial bumper,I drop down a gear,to insure that I have a safe space.
Courtesy,,it is a good thing.

If these lil things are your biggest problems in life,,,you got it made!

I got the best result for folks who ride my ass, a bag of marbles. When they are too close & their high beams are hurting my eyes a couple of marbles make the lights go out....LOL

Yeah Richard, I've always wondered why people will spend $16,000 and up for a vehicle and not have the factory or the dealer put turn signals on them. For the price they pay for those things one would think that they would come as standard equiptment.

Don't ride too close Darky, when I can't see the front of someones car over the tailgate they are too close, and if I slow down fast they might have to pull a hitch out of their radiator. But I've been told I drive like an old man.

My pet peeve is when you let people over or stop traffic so someone can pull out and they don't give you a simple wave.

as you all know, mass drivers are concidered (by me)the worst in the country, ok, guy comes from the high speed lane, across all the lanes to make his exit at about 80 mph. squeezes in between me and a big rig, he just scrapes my bumper, then he is all over the place, then pulls over.
i pulled in behind him, to see what damage he did to my car, as i got up to this idiots car, there was a tire iron through his windshield, and he was swearing that the big rig spit it up from his tires! i thanked him for cutting me off, could of been my windshield if a jerk like you who deserved it did not cut me off, so i would like to thank all the jerk drivers in this state, keep it up, payback. lol.

I love it when those smarter than everyone drivers get right up on my bumber, brake check time. Guess they are in a hurry to meet their maker huh.

One time I was late for a plane due traffic. About 1 mile from the exit I started driving in the breakdown lane. Everyone started cutting me off, Trucks, cars whatever. I held the tickets out the window and started waving them. Everyone let me through. If people know you have a good reason they let you go. Most people are reasonable at heart.

Still the only time I ever missed a plane.
