Re: Moving Violations: Speed Limit Follies

Along comes some idiot behind me doing 75 and he comes up on my bumper and starts flashing his lights even though he clearly can see I can't move over until I get pass the big rig. Then, before I even have a chance to put my flasher on and move back over he squeezes around me and tears off down the road. That's when I fantasize about having that laser cannon mounted on the hood of my car.....
I know exactly what you're talking about and it drives me nuts.

I think that is one of the exceptions to the rule, so to speak, since you're already going above the speed limit anyway and this guy is likely moving faster than the flow of traffic.

I've always wanted some spiked barbs that drop from the rear of my car like a Batmobile would do. That would stop the tailgating really quick .
