I have a strategy for when I get tailgated in the slow lane and it's not brake checking because that's what they expect. I'll lock the cruise control to my desired speed. They get right up on my ass and don't back off, I speed up putting space between me and them. At this point they'll speed up and I'll take my foot off the gas and let the car slow down back to cruise control speed. Repeat as necessary. The trick is to never touch the brakes. The driver behind me is alternating between speeding up and hitting the brakes. Eventually they'll get tired of it and either pass or back off

A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Thanks I'm gonna try this
What's with Lemmy and Avatar memes as of late?
Not that I'm complaining. I'm a foaming mouth guy tier fan, but I see a Koh the Face Stealer meme as more niche than, I dunno, a Doge meme or Spongebob.
Occasionally I just get on trends. If I see something posted and I've got memes of it, I'll stick with the trend. Sometimes I'm just like fuck it I'ma just post the same thing a bunch which is why last week I had like 8 ratatoiulle memes in one day
I'm all for that.
There was a King of the Hill phase I was rather fond of too.
It always seems like white dudes in pickup trucks are the biggest assholes in the world
they give white women in SUVs a run for their money
(disclaimer am white woman. don't drive SUV tho. moped/ebike)
at night with brights. how about 10mph until they rage on by.
I'm a school bus driver and I love to be tailgated ... because I can't even see a fucking car when it does this. I don't know what these dipshits imagine they're accomplishing.
It’s the same when there’s a BMW, Audi or MB behind you. You can’t go fast enough to get them in your neck.
my radar detector says time to let them by
I love my Mustang for this one reason. People don’t ride my ass and get out of my way. It’s nice.
I drive a NV200 (compact cargo van).
I could be driving warp 7 in a school zone and I swear people would be passing me and flipping the bird. It's like they see that is not made for speed, so they're required to treat it as slow.
I’d say those are hard to see around. So people are passing you to clear up their view.
