I suspect that you, my friend, are exactly the problem this thread is discussing.
yes, actually I did, hence my measured response. Would you consider me pulling out my off duty piece and blowing a hole in the wheel sucker to be an over the top response? I mean, we ARE talking about MY safety now aren't we?
Listen, we have to be reasonable human beings here. If you have any situational awareness at all, you know there is someone back there. Its an extra breath, an extra shift, its just extra noise. So you start to ride like a leader...which you should always be doing anyway.
Is it really that difficult for some of you guys to be nice to others?
