Strange behaviour!!

Why is it that I’ll just be driving along minding my own business, everyone around me driving normally (for a change ), until the car driving beside you looks over, sees the car and then all of a sudden speeds up like they want to race. What’s with that??? Why would just looking over and seeing a car make you totally change the way you were driving before??? It’s never happened in any of the cars I’ve had before. Is my car just a magnet for idiots????

well you drive a skyline. not a GT-R but its still a skyline. i guess that guy wanted to prove something.

yes, plain and simple. You have a fast car and nothing to prove, while they (they being the un-worthy and slow) feel like they have something to prove and nothing to lose, so they go for it. Then when they take off and you just sit there and drive normal, they think they won and go brag to friends blah blah blah....

It’s not just one, it’s heaps of them. It’s really weird. It’s also not just one particular type of car, it’s all sorts, fast, slow, there is no pattern. My husband thinks it might because they think it's a GTR. :hehehe:

Does it happen to anyone else on here???

Well it could be 1.) you are a woman with a fast car, and they might feel "threatened" if a female passes them or 2.) they think that by you looking at them, they take that as a challenge to race, or whatever. I don't know, people are wierd.

I guess so they can run home and say they beat a skyline. ?
