Not as satisfying but still made me think wtf in the moment. Was driving in a bit of a blizzard, the snow was the kind that would grab you and pull you towards the ditch if you got out of the tracks. Had to remember to steer straight twice instead of just trying to turn back to the middle of the road to get traction back and stay on the road. Had my four ways going and there was this truck on my ass.
Eventually I decided fuck it and pulled over to let him by, figuring he probably wants to go faster but isn't confident enough to pass while I'm still driving. He immediately puts on his own four ways and continues driving on at the speed I was. Why do you have to be right on my ass to do that? If you're two seconds back, you'll arrive at your destination two seconds later, but will have a much better chance of avoiding accidents in normal weather, let alone a blizzard.
Humanity doing it's best to give me mixed feelings about a potential extinction in the mid future.
The guy who was on my ass lived on that road. He'd been following me for less than 5 minutes. I have no idea wtf he was thinking but it was a really bad storm and not the time to fuck around and find out.
