And frequently these tailgaters will risk life & limb darting between the lanes with just inches between themselves & other cars so they can drive 80 or faster in heavily congested traffic where the speed limit is 55. I commuted about 120 miles round trip each day to my job in Silicon Valley from 1989 to 2001 and racked up 360,000 miles on my '89 commute car -- that's 14 times around the world with no tickets and no accidents. Oh, and I like to drive 10 to 20 mph over the speed limit too. -g- During this time I was aware that the leading cause of death for engineering people my age was traffic accidents so I was very disciplined in following my driving rules. One of my iron-clad rules was: if someone catches up to me in the fast lane, get out of the way. Why? Because I wanted to keep the danger level as low as possible and as you indicated in your remarks, speeders start doing crazy things when they get boxed in. When the chips are down, it is always safer to be pessimistic in your evaluation of the other driver's capabilities and state of mind. This, I believe keeps one from being 'collateral' damage to their ill-advised maneuvers. JMHO. :o) --fl@stayingalive.com
