Thank you for your honesty. Assuming that this isn’t a sarcastic response, I have learned alot. I always figured that this would be the verbal response I would get from many tailgaters.

To restate what I am reading - “I am the most important person on the road. The speed I have chosen is the correct one and anyone who disagrees is a problem. It is everyone else’s responsbility to adjust what they are doing (even if it reasonable or legitimate) to accomodate me.”

…what a man says speaks volumes about his personality, intellect and mindset…

We’ll hook up when I need a new car.
