What the fuck is the logic behind tailgating someone? Like what

>>17319332
It's a signal for "please move out of the way, i do not want to waste any more of my finite life on this godforsaken line of pavement and would like to go faster than the speed the US government has approved as the safe maximum for basketball americans who learned to drive from their parents"

>>17319332
for you to get anxious and move over

>>17319341
and brake checking is the universal signal for "i am an eternal child and scream "NO" when people ask me to share".

>>17319341
No. It's just about power

>>17319345
Mostly about making you anxious. If you actually move over their fun ends though they do get a little satisfaction out of having bothered you enough to move over.

>>17319358
>projecting

It's about wanting to go 5-10mph faster and being stuck behind a pickup truck in the left lane who doesn't understand why anyone would use their left blinker there.

>why caint yew just go the speed limit son leave earlier the laws the law
>unmarked cop car passes him on the right

I just brake check gradually up to a halt then run a red light when possible

Which doesn't explain tailgating on multi-lane roads when other lanes are open or in other passing zones. And don't say that doesn't happen because it does all the time. All they want to do is fuck with other people and make themselves feel powerful when they get their way.

>>17319393
yeah if you drive a shitbox

why dont i have the courage to just fucking kill myself

i do not wish to live

I respect it, but I won't do it

I actually only mostly brake check buses , it's fucking hilarious to see them flipping you offand the rest of the passengers just kinda stare blankly

>>17319434
Ye

>>17319332
That you put your fucking foot down and pick up the pace to a reasonable speed, grandma.

I challenge tailgaters to hektik t00j battles. I heel-and-toe shift like Dagumi and make hektik skiddz around the turns, where I usually lose them.

>implying tailgating makes people speed up and not slow down
idiots

>>17319629
it can go many ways really. i've seen or had people respond to tailgating by speeding up, getting out of the way, brake checking or coasting to slow down. you cant really generalize what will happen

>What the fuck is the logic behind tailgating someone?


99% of the time, these tailgating idiots dont know they're tailgating you. When it happens to me i move over to the other lane then I tailgate the tailgater and see his or her eyes in their rearview mirror giving me that 'wtf his this asshole's problem' look.

This, it's mostly the kind of people who completely space out when driving and unconsciously keep a certain distance from the car in front at all times.

That you'll move over so I can pass you

This is true. Some people just follow the car in front of them super closely for no damn reason. It is annoying as all hell, even more so because I'm in a no-fault state, so if they hit me I will be shit out of luck with my liability insurance.

>>17319668
So just pass? Why would they need to move over?

>>17319674
Because usually there's other cars to the right. America has no lane discipline

>>17319677
But people also tailgate in civilised countries like Germany. Happened to me, he had all day to overtake, but chose to tailgate my shitbox with his fat SUV.

>>17319697
Because he wanted you to move over.

That being said if I have the opportunity to pass I take it
