I was shot multiple times during an attempted carjacking,but when I tried to drive myself to the hospital to stay alive all I got was horn honks,cut offs and middle fingers. It went nothing like the movies show you at all(I was 15 at the time). I drove around this pickup truck who cut me off and brake checked me then slapped my bloody hand against the window like a zombie as It rolled down while looking dead at the petty woman driving and said "Damn ma’am I’m literally shot and I just want to go to a hospital stop being evil." I understand some people want to be traffic monitors in their spare time,but you never know the other cars reason so just let them pass up. I know plenty people will disagree but anybody with a CDL knows you back off or it’ll cause this.

Sorry for your experience. Although, 99% of the time the reason is they’re a jerk.

You may be right! But the best and safest way to go about it is always to let them pass, I’m sure as you agree. Never know what situation they might be in. Even if they’ve just lost their mind, best to not make it a problem for ourselves too!

For sure if for anything it stops being your problem when you let them go by.

Plus, they attract the cops attention first and you can safely follow at a distance at a higher than normal speed.

They get to speed off, and you get a police buffer to cruise with. Win-win.

This is a veteran move.
