Today, a girl was tailgating me, even though I was going at speed limit. Annoyed, I drove 10 mph under the speed limit, and every time she honked, I went 5 mph slower. Too bad she got the last laugh… I was pulled over for "reckless driving." FML

Always keep in mind you get ticketed for going too much under the speed limit. Yup, your fault.

You don't police the roads. You were probably some ass cruising in the passing lane. If someone's annoying you, just let them pass so both of you can get on with your lives.

I set my cruise control to the speed limit on most highways and just drive, stay in the right lane unless to pass slower vehicles and I'll be damned if you speeding up behind me is going to intimidate me to move any faster, I'll move back over when I'm ready.

I feel your pain, but YDI for not noticing there were cops around.

YDI for assuming the tailgating was about intimidating you. It's not. They don't give a crap about you or how you feel, they just want to get somewhere quicker. If they want to drive faster, let them. Just let them past - you don't have to worry about them anymore, they won't annoy you, problem solved. I live on a one lane road, and sometimes I go slower than other drivers - so I let them pass. No big deal. I appreciate it when drivers do that for me as well. Have some common courtesy and realize that it's not all about you. Pull over, and get over it.

#153 If tailgaters don't give a crap about anything but getting somewhere faster, and that's justification for riding my ass, why should I care that they have somewhere to be? I don't want to speed, and that's my justification for not giving a damn about the person behind me being a lazy ass who needs to learn time management and leave early instead of late. Break check that bitch and say, "Didn't you see the cat?"

This is fake because WA cops don't do that. If she was tailgating they would have pulled her over so sounds to me like you were just being an asshole and you deserve the ticket.

Man, I wish cops would pull over every slow driver. 10 points to the cop!!!

Ahhh I do the same thing but usually when I'm speeding and people still tailgate me. So I drive slower and slower and take like a half mile an hour turn if possible.
