I was looking for the words to say what I was thinking about this - and, oh look, there they are... thanks mpw....
I never thought that's why you did it actually, you gave (and then modified) your reasons, and I accept them as you give them. However my point was it makes sense to you, but not to other road users. Just like their actions bother you only because you assume you understand them.
I'm not going to say you need to modify your driving style, but I wouldn't go talking about how crap other road users are in such absolute terms when it could be your actions provoking them, albeit unwittingly.
And you still didn't answer the question.
Just like the James Bond films where he has that tricked out Lotus with the machine gun that pops out of a hidden compartment. Of course mine wouldn't be using real bullets; I was thinking blanks, or something that would give a scary muzzle flash. It would pop out of a compartment from under my truck lid.
Ahhh, gotta love Americans... so easily offended by nudity etc but every little annoyance can be resolved with guns
</sarcasm>
Still avoiding an answer then.![]()
Actually, it was quite valid. The OP stated that he drove 10mph below the limit, in what could be assumed to be his "comfort speed" in that instance. mpw merely asked what his reaction would be if he (MACDRIVE, which incidentally is an ironic user name given the thread) were to be behind someone going 10mph below his comfort speed, which would translate to 25mph in this case.Maybe because it's a stupid analogy
Holy crap, willwren's post count puts Mad Jew to shame.I'm not convinced tailgating is the real issue. I suspect MACDRIVE wants some protection in case he spots his nemesis willwren in his rear view mirror.
Tsk, you americans. Always thinking of the biggest, most expensive way of doing things.
Take a leaf out of Britains book; just stop your car (blocking 2 lanes of traffic at least) and start a good old fashioned punch-up.
you really need to choose between smoke screen or oil slick.
I second this motion.... but in Bristol, you're probably just as likely to get a gun pulled on you as you would be in the States![]()
Seems like it from here, that's aaaallllllll I'm sayin'![]()
I guessing you're a bad and dangerous driver too.Maybe because it's a stupid analogy...
I want to mount a machine gun on my car
