Get off my tail!
When I drive my car, I find the most irritating thing to be tailgaters. I understand that if i am on an interstate highway with multiple lanes that slower traffic should keep to the right and I always do in that instance. Over the past couple of weeks, when traveling on a two lane road with a posted limit of 45 mph, I have been tailgated twice by two extremely hostile drivers. I always use great care in keeping at the limit on this particular road because it is also a major bike lane for over 20 miles. I often ride my bike in those same lanes. Yesterday, this fellow rode my bumber for ten miles and then chose to pass me in a no passing area simply because I was driving the posted limit. The first time this happened to me both the driver and I came to a stop next to each other at a traffic light. He rolled down his window and yelled something. I never even looked over there and pretended as if I had not heard him. The guy yesterday must have gotten up to 60 after he passed me. There appears to be much rage on the roads which I have encountered both driving and cycling. I would advise you all to avoid confrontation with people if you can help it. It's not worth getting hurt or worse.
