To you in the not-to-be-disclosed-color car, who drove about 2 inches behind my car on the highway this afternoon: driving that close does not scare me and it will not make me change lanes. What it will do, is make me want to slam on my brakes really hard. You were driving a convertible. I was not.

Also, drive slower. Save gas.

Not wise. It’s not a matter of being scared, it’s a matter of prudence. You don’t want to be what motorcyclists describe as “dead right.”

If it makes you feel any better, long ago I was on Rt 66 in eastern ct with same yahoo sitting on my tail. When I got to a spot with a wide shoulder, I just pulled over to not deal with the aggravation. Well, after he zoomed by the car two cars behind him sprang all sorts of flashing lights. After the cop pulled him over he flagged me over and ask if I had pulled over because the driver was following too close. So every once in a while the good guys win.

The ragtop wasn’t a blue BMW, was it? I don’t think I’ve tailed anyone recently ;)
