More likely, how many times have you been in this situation.

Coming back home from a family dinner, driving I-75, I got behind a large car. No problem, he was going about the same speed as I was. Until, he came up to pass a tractor trailer truck. The driver of the car slowed down about 15 mph while passing the truck, then sped back up to speed after he passed, and there was not enough room to pass him before the next truck. Again, he slowed down while he couldn't be passed, only to speed back up when it was possible to do so.

This went on for several miles until I got in the second farthest right lane and passed the truck, passed him, and came back to the far right lane ahead of him.

Guess what, he matched my speed, after he had gotten a few feet from behind me, and stayed on my bumper until I exited. I honestly thought he would rear end my car when i slowed to get off the interstate.

How many of you have gone though something familiar?

Every time I start up my truck; I believe in brake checking for tailgaters

Doing that at 80 mph is not a real good idea.

.......

I'm just a regular Joe, with a regular job
I'm your average white, suburbanite slob
I like football and porno and books about war
I got an average house, with a nice hardwood floor
My wife and my job, my kids and my car
My feet on my table, and a Cuban cigar

But sometimes that just ain't enough to keep a man like me interested
(Oh no, no way, uh uh)
No I gotta go out and have fun at someone else's expense
(Whoa, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I drive really slow in the ultra fast lane
While people behind me are going insane

I'm an a s s h o l e (he's an a s s h o l e, what an a s s h o l e)
I'm an a s s ho l e (he's an a s s h o l e, such an a s s h o l e)..........
