On the interstate, I leave that many car lengths behind me. People here slam on the brakes for no reason. I have seen pretty serious accidents because some yahoo slammed on their breaks to avoid hitting a piece of trash in the road. Then person behind them was only a couple car lengths back and hit him going pretty fast. It's easier for me to be a couple minutes late by slowing down and being safe vs. the hours spent because of a wreck.
This man is right.
Why in the world would you tailgate on the interstate? You ain't going to get there any faster?
Things that piss me off:
When some 16 yr old boy/girl drives 45-50 through town after school... The roads are already full, you have no place to go except sit at Walmart with your retarded friends. Thats why the speed limit is 30, douchenozzle.
When same 16 yr old boy/girl decides to try and do a burn out or a donut at Walmart/Autozone/Co-op for fun, and runs over my trailer. Then leaves.
When old women take 2 years to turn into a store and find a spot.
When fat women circle around Walmart for an hour to find a spot closest to the door. Park down yonder lardass, you need to walk.
When the COOL 18-20 yr olds come by in their new trucks with a cheap sub off of the radio screaming "Hear me roar", and then almost run over you.
When I see guys my own age, and some younger drinking and driving in the city. We have 25,000 sq miles of rural area to DUI in, with almost zero cops.....
I am the guy that runs the speed limit about everywhere. Sometimes, I run slower than the limit. There is no need to stomp the gas and hit 35 ASAP when you are going to turn off in 100 feet. When raining, guess what, I'll slow down to a safe speed. I have nothing to prove. In my younger years, I wrecked eough old cars for all of us. Dirt track cars too //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
Our old cars, when we wrecked, we either tore the shit out of something else, or we flipped back over wth a tractor and kept going. I see all these youngsters in new fiberglass and beer-can thin cars doing crazy shit. I pray that they become more careful quick.
