Is anyone else having the issue where absolutely everyone is riding their ass? I was doing chores today and just driving around 5mph above the speed limit and absolutely everyone was up my bum today.... this is not ok.

Nope. Not me. Especially in NJ.

Trying to get home from thanksgiving? Step on it, let em pass, or remind them of your brake lights.

like i said in the other thread, wiper sprayers work well, as does downs-shifting, and letting off the gas. you start slowing way down, and they'll be forced to do the same. once they go to pass, i usually stomp the gas.

It's black friday, sucks but better to stay off the road today and get away from those crazy shoppers

So you are that jerk?

Good thing cars can still pass you even if you do stomp the gas

No seriously though sometimes you are going like 40mph and they are like 5 feet from your car. Like what the @!%&? Freeways get even worse, but I just focus on getting to the destination. Nothing extra/stupid.

Yeah Im starting to think thats what it is too. This didnt happen to me yesterday or the day before when I picked up my car and drove it home from NYC.

Funny enough the only kid that didnt do it drove an R32.

CircuitJerk · 11-23-2012, 03:27 PM

Happened to me all day yesterday even in rural areas. Got a lot of use out of my middle finger.

I heard this complaint a lot on the Miata forum. My thought is that you're possibly driving a smaller car than you did in the past and the guy behind you might not be any closer to your bumper now than he was before. However, because you're closer to your rear bumper than you used to be in your bigger car it looks like he's closer because he's closer to you physically.

With that theory in mind I've never felt I had a problem, even on a motorcycle.
