Commuting is boring so I spice things up by going into spiral highway ramps without braking. 95% of the time this is uneventful and nothing especially interesting happens but sometimes I've got a tailgater or someone who was doing 20+ over the limit coming up rapidly behind me. These two types of drivers assume that whoever is in front of them is driving too slowly so when I go into a 40kph spiral ramp at 80kph they're almost never ready for it. Screeching rubber and clouds of tyre smoke rising up in the rear view mirror sometimes ensue and that's how I entertain myself on my commute.
a very special hell please for people who tailgate you on and off highway ramps
>>28520206>gets tailgated on an on-rampspeed up and match the flow of traffic nigger
>>28520200 (OP)Get a motorcycle. Its more interesting and engaging.
>tailgater riding your ass for minutes down a straight section
>falls away the moment the road curves even slightly
Why do people get so petrified by turns?
>>28520200 (OP)Extremely based and driver-pilled.
>>28521060some cars handle like boats
those same cars when doing turns at higher speeds feel like theyre gonna flip, lose control, understeer, etc
people get scared
>>28521060what's crazier to me are the truggers in lifted truggs with presumably max .3g on a skidpad who still try to tailgate me in a cloverleaf. usually i'm like "oh, we're doing this?" and dust em but it's like they have zero understanding of their car's actual capability. (these are the same people who don't increase following distance in the pouring rain)
>>28521951Based just like the MonteCarlo in OP's pic.
>>28520200 (OP)I knew an indie mechanic who would service every old euro car that came to his shop except Scorpions. lol
>>28520206Stop trying to merge at 45 when everyone is doing 80.
>>28522625Isn't a Lancia Beta Montecarlo?
>traffic ahead is slowing slightly
>downshift and engine brake a little
>driver behind me slams on their brakes and panic steers to the side
well. you may not have known I could do that without my brake lights coming on but at least you won't learn anything and will do it again
>28521060
>tailgater riding your ass for minutes down a straight section
>>falls away the moment the road curves even slightly
Women. They're using you as a pilot car while they've got their nose buried in their phone.
Even without the phone younger women always want to go 20+ over everywhere until there's a slight curve and then panic. Then they turn 27 and never go over the speed limit again but still panic at the slightest curve.
>>28522710They changed the name to Scorpion in NA.
>These two types of drivers assume that whoever is in front of them is driving too slowly so when I go into a 40kph spiral ramp at 80kph they're almost never ready for it.
what's the deal with those people?
>long stretch of highway
>driving fast but aware there might be speed traps (~10 over speed limit in fast lane, passing slower cars)
>tailgater pretends this isn't fast enough and rides my ass
>"okay", pull over and slow down so he can speed ahead
>huge, infinite stretch of highway in front of him to go as fast as he wants
>he pussies out and gets into the slow lane, but in front of me going the same speed
this is almost as common as people who actually do want to speed, I don't get it. do babydicks just not like someone in front of them? is it a monkey brain thing? can any tailgaters explain? your psychology is foreign to me.
>>28521951Always fun to put some distance on them purely because my car can take a turn at speed. They usually get the hint and btfo
If not I just slow down to the speed limit and ignore em
>>28522885State Police issued a statement sometime in the last couple years that some tailgaters are trying to get the one in front to speed so that they get caught speeding instead of the tailgater. That would explain why they don't go fast once you let them by.
>>28522867That's pretty clearly not a US license plate
>>28520200 (OP)Clouds of tire smoke? What?
>>28523501the implication is that they lose control of their vehicle and spin out
i dunno if it makes a huge amount of smoke though. it's pretty loud however
>>28521060Anon they buy the shittest cheap tires, even if a name brand, or are even running their entire lives on $25 used tire specials. They drive like maniacs, in a straight line, but they can't take any kind of turn.
>>28523515There's no smoke at all when that happens, does the OP even drive
>>28523520feels so fucking good buying a cheap set of tyres that still have really great grip even in the wet
>>28523597We always had spare rims with used tires, for doing burnouts and donuts.
