Good showing some control over the situation.

Thanks. I feel bad at times that I didn't do anything but I know I did the right thing.

Yeah you definitely did. I guess my mentality is its just not worth it. Why even bother with ignorant people?

And I do second the fact the drivers around here suck but doesn't everyone that lives anywhere complain about the same thing? Except maybe Germans that drive on the autobahn

I totally agree with you, I was just referring to crusing up the throughway at 80mph. Especially when there is no room for me to go, its like 'where the hell do you expect me to go?'

I believe the rule is one full car length for each 10 MPH of speed... It wouldn't matter in any case - you hit someone in the rear and the chances are high that you'll get a "failure to maintain a safe following distance ticket.."

Oh, and I don't think you saw a G35 driver, I think you saw an idiot who happened to be driving a G35.

... actually, technically, its 3 seconds. For example: once the car in front of you passes a certain point (telephone pole) count three seconds, then you should be passing it.

Not that it matters too much, its not like anyone driving any sort of car doesnt tailgate. Especially G drivers!
