Is there anything more satisfying than tailgating a slow driver?

You're driving down a street that's 60km/h, everyone is going 65, and some boomer in a truck is doing like 48. So in order to put a little pressure on the guy and kind of say "Hey bud, you're driving like a bit of a mong, care to join the rest of society out here?" you get closer to his bumper.

Now the boomer's response is ALWAYS one of GREAT offense (easily the most self centered and easy to trigger generation of all time). Generally they respond by slowing down an additional 10 km/h so they are now driving 35 or 40 in a 60 with everyone around them flying by at 65. When I see this response I just fckin LOL because you know that boomer is raging inside. Anyone driving by is now looking at this ape going 38 in a 60 and all the attention is on them. They legit look re*tarded and childish which is what most boomers are on the inside. Not only that, you know this guy is going to be fuming for AT LEAST TEN MINUTES in his own head, like "FCK THAT GUY, WHO DOES HE THINK HE IS TO DO THAT TO ME????"

Some people take the hint and just hit the accelerator and speed up by like 5-10 km, but the ones that just slow down and throw their kid tantrum are the best because you know you did that to them. Something so satisfying about triggering an 85 IQ Boomer-Ape easily by "not giving him space to cruise at 48 km/h"

I find a great deal of happiness in not letting other people impact my behavior.

It also helps not to take everything everyone else does personal.

I would imagine giving into those urges, and thinking you own the road, when you do not, would be a huge source of stress.

I doubt you are actually happy while you are trying bully other people because you like to believe they are in your way.


So weird flex man, but okay.

Only if it's in the fast lane.

It should be legal to pit maneuver all of them.

Literally NEVER even get mad for a second, I just get even closer because they gave me more time to respond if they brake. Everyone cruising by looking at this chit go damn, who's this ape in the front behaving like a 10 year old.

Not even really bullying people, instead of giving an appropriate following distance you just close it because the speed of travel is so slow the following distance isn't necessary.

Lol at using a hypothetical scenario in which everyone agrees you are the victim and are justified in using your car as a tool to make a statement.


They hate you just as much.


Not once have I seen this chit happen and think, “only one of those guys is participating in turning the street my kids drive on into a nascar personal vendetta”, there is no way they are both being irresponsible right now.

Aggressive tailgaters are equally POS as intentional slow drivers imo.

If I'm chillin listening to Joe Rogan in the right lane, not giving a fook where I'm going or when I get there.... You're basically invisible to me and I couldn't care less.

Now if I'm in the left lane, trying to get somewhere and I forget and zone out, your tailgating will be a helpful reminder to get wherever the fook I'm going. But this is America and I don't care what a km is.

I'll happily brake check you. If you rearend me, it's always going to be your fault for following too closely. Your insurance going up isn't my problem.

Exactly, if I'm chillin and going slow AF and someone is getting closer to me I usually just go ah, I'm the idiot, it's me. And then I speed up like 5 to 10 and I'm back cruising with everyone else.

Some people get this and then go Wahh, i'm going to shut down this entire lane of driving because my FEELINGS are HURT!!!!!

Yeah, driving a chitty car and slamming on your brakes when they're tailgating you. If they hit you, nice insurance payout!

There's a saying: if there's one car tailgating you, then they are the jerkoff. If there's ten cars tailgating you, then you're the jerkoff.

People who drive at or under the speed limit are annoying as hell. And it's not like you're going to get pulled over even if you're doing 5-10 over the limit. Speed the hell up or get off the road.

Only time I fuk with people while driving is when somebody pulls out in front of me and they really shouldn't have and they don't accelerate to the flow of traffic fast enough......I like to play "lets see how close I can get to you before I hit my brakes"

Never in the history of tailgating has anyone ever sped up from being tailgated.

I usually slow down. Srs. Like if I'm going the speed limit or 5 over and some douche is tailgating me, I slow down to like 5 under.

So the boomer got you to drive at 40 instead of the 65 you want to be traveling at and somehow he is the cuck?

What am I missing?
The closer we approach the uncertainty of life's ending the more we wish to trade all of the things we have acquired in exchange for all of the things we have lost: wealth for youth, knowledge for fresh curiosity, resignation for hope. We'd trade our wisdom for new experiences, but it is wisdom that will teach us that at the end of the road the only new experience is death.

Exactly, some guy sits for 5 seconds at a green, then slowly takes off hitting 70% of the speed limit. I just go... Lets see if we can make this guy realize he is driving like a mongoloid.

Honestly it's 50/50. Most time (foreign drivers) realize they're not flowing with traffic and speed up. It's boomers who usually slow down and then all the people behind me pull out and pass them while I tailgate em' and make em rage.

The enjoyment of making a 60 year old human being throw a tantrum like a kid because they don't have the mental toughness to have someone drive within 15 feet of their bumper. Then you get the added pleasure of knowing they're going to stew on it for the rest of the ride to their destination.

Yes. I wait till there is even the smallest space around them and drop down a gear in my manual 2019 ZO6 and mash the throttle/cut them off and blast off like crazy. Just a small hobby of mine lol

Used to drive like that when I was a teenager and in college, srs. It's a lot better than tailgating.
