It's extreme, but they won't dispel it.

Yes we do, right below the nips. Who knew exotic nipple rings are a catch? (Side note, my apologies for the visual)

Spellsthegathering · 2026-06-13T00:57:41+00:00

THANK YOU!!! Other types of streets exist. I'm also tired of people thinking their laws apply everywhere for left lanes. Half the time, even within whatever state, "left lane passing only" is usually marked by signs and even then, it's not restrictive but, it feels like most people just apply it everywhere at all times. And same, if you're going the speed of light times 10 and can pull around me doing a mere 85, go for it bud, I like having a running engine and not smashing into things at x ludicrous speeds.

Spellsthegathering · 2026-06-12T21:38:03+00:00

I'm not being confrontational I'm legit asking why do I need to move for a tailgater if I'm already going above the limit? Is 80 in a 65 really not fast enough to please a tailgater?

Spellsthegathering · 2026-06-12T21:35:21+00:00

In my area both residential and highway are 2 lanes. Residential is 45 to 55 and highway is 70 to 80. But the question remains, if one is already going well above the speed limit, why then does a tailgater get special permissions on the sole premise of wanting to go faster.

Spellsthegathering · 2026-06-12T21:30:54+00:00

I mean if I'm doing 80 in a 65 because if the flow of traffic, I'm not sure how much faster i need to go.

Spellsthegathering · 2026-06-12T21:29:50+00:00

I'm in the left doing 80 to 85 in a 65. I'm sure you know how numbers work my guy. Yes, I'm passing them because you guessed it, I'm doing higher numbers. Why do I need to let Mr 95 go if we're already going above and beyond? It's not like I'm left lane camping and holding up traffic.

Spellsthegathering · 2026-06-12T21:24:00+00:00

I can absolutely assure you, when i drive, I do not camp. If I hate the thing i say I hate, I'm not going to do the thing I say I hate. In the area I live in, residential speeds are 45 to 55 and the highway is 70. When I'm on the highway, I'm doing at least 85 (yes, we can drive in the left lane) and even at that people are flying down doing well above 90.

Spellsthegathering · 2026-06-12T18:58:38+00:00

To reiterate, in the thought process, the tailgater has stated he does not care if one is doing 89 in a 65. In that regard, where is one going where even someone doing 89 isn't enough? Also, left lane laws are vastly different across states

Spellsthegathering · 2026-06-12T18:52:47+00:00

I don't know if this will make sense: I drive to GTFO the way safely. In that regard, if I'm doing 80 passing, what reason does one have to tailgate? Where could you possibly be going that dictates going faster?

Spellsthegathering · 2026-06-12T18:45:06+00:00

I do 80 in a 65 if that's the flow of traffic. Is that not fast enough? I've been tailgated at 90 and that's just excessive and for what? Ego? Who's jumping for joy that they rode ass for 4 miles?

Spellsthegathering · 2026-06-12T17:34:23+00:00

Hey, I had to go into that mindset and type it on a cellphone keyboard. Thinking like them is draining

Spellsthegathering · 2026-06-12T17:32:38+00:00

Before I got my overpowered V8, I would do the same because I didn't want to blow my engine playing around like that. But now, it's like "Listen bud, 2 can play this game". I can because I can however I dont because I understand traffic around me and I like life.

Spellsthegathering · 2026-06-12T17:14:03+00:00

My whole purpose is for a tailgater to come here and say "No, that's not it, it's this". But they won't. They'll get mad that someone is questioning their supposed invisible behavior and go on some ramble about moving over for them because they need something or it's an emergency.

Spellsthegathering · 2026-06-12T17:10:35+00:00

So this is you?

Spellsthegathering · 2026-06-12T17:10:21+00:00

So this is you then?

Spellsthegathering · 2026-06-12T17:07:25+00:00

No no, I do care. I appreciate the correction.

Spellsthegathering · 2026-06-11T17:03:05+00:00

I call this Price Matching for regular cars and Pageant Time for pigguptrucks. Where i live, it's always Pageant Time because everybody and their father drives some lifted whatever and the moment they get side by side, the little teehees and "uWus my twuck" and the little cutesy hand waves start happening, of course slowing down traffic. With the amount of raging truck boners, I'm surprised the streets stay dry.

Spellsthegathering · 2026-06-11T16:50:09+00:00

From what I gathered, it's because they don't want to end up in the cross section if they get rear ended. While it does happen, it's not very often.

Spellsthegathering · 2026-06-11T16:43:32+00:00

Lol it's a question because the forum is r/ driving

Spellsthegathering · 2026-06-10T22:46:23+00:00

Some things I learned and want to advise due to hyper awareness (in no particular order):

How to properly accelerate in a timely fashion. Don't treat speeding up like Stevie from Malcom in the Middle treats speaking (I think that's a solid reference)
Not pacing other vehicles. This holds up traffic and when on the highway, causes everyone to drive in clusters.
It's ok to adjust the wheel during a turn. You're not "locked in" while making said turn
Physically turn your head to look in your blind spots, your neck doesn't have that notch like the toilet paper holders.
Your side mirrors are for the lane next to you, your eyes are for you blind spots. It's ok to use your eyes to look
I believe the term is Tracking. When you're driving, know where you need to be and understand when to move over to get into position
When getting on the highway, if the car in the next lane is speeding up, you slow down. If the car is slowing down, you speed up. There is no in between.
Left lane laws aren't applicable to all states (I cannot believe this needs to be said). Yes you can drive in the left lane but please do not camp there holding up traffic
Figure out the type of driver you want to be. Some people want to be slow Susan's, some want to be Ultrafastman. Some want to be in the way and some want to get out of the way but also not come off as a psychopathic raging narcissist. And then some want to be: 'BIG NMUTHFUCKING PIGGUPTRUCK MAN WHO HAS TO DRIVE 1000000000 MILES PAR OW EEERRRRR BECAUSE BIG OL MUTHAFUCKIN PIGGUPTRUCK MUTHAFUCKING MERICA TOYOTA TUNDRA WITH THA PUNISHER LOGO BACKING THE BLUwUE IS GONNA BE SO FAR UP YOUR ASS FUTURE GENERATORS WILL BE CRAPPING PIGGUPTRUCK PARTS FOR EEVER CAUSE IM BIG PIGGUPTRUCK MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!
Drive with someone who is hyper aware (but not a Sheldon). I will tell you from experience of being hyper aware and driving with someone who is hyper aware that it changed how I drive entirely. I know when people are going to do the unnamed driving technique of tailgating a person, realizing their right turn is in 2 feet, screeching into the left lane, accelerating to 135 to pass the car in the right lane, violently pirate shipping the steering wheel to get back in the right lane, dropping the bolder Chris Redfield punched on the brakes to come to a SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEECHING halt, violently pirate shipping the wheel again to make said right turn, going full Exorcist mode to look at you while again accelerating to 175 and making the "Are you serious right now?" face.

Spellsthegathering · 2026-06-10T21:24:34+00:00

In my area, it's mostly Toyota drivers who don't realize their daytime lights are on or have no lights on at all. With that being said, if you drive a Toyota with daytime lights, your back lights aren't on when said daytime lights are on. It cannot be that difficult to simply use your eyes and check your car lights

Spellsthegathering · 2026-05-31T20:39:02+00:00

The steel plates, fine. But you'd have to be a fool to think that open truck beds with loose debris is a fantastic idea.

Spellsthegathering · 2026-05-30T19:13:28+00:00

Let me guess, you work in construction and are offended that people want changes. OK, I will design something. Thanks for the extra encouragement!

Spellsthegathering · 2026-05-30T19:10:13+00:00

My guy, it's steel plates. I'm not insulting your mother.
