The speed limit is 55 MPH on Maryland Route 100. I was going somewhat faster, but moving with traffic and not trying to be either the fastest or slowest car on the highway.
A huge pick-up truck came up onto my bumper trying, I believe, to push me to go much faster than the speed I was going. Yes, I was in the left lane, but I was still traveling at a speed which risked a ticket from Maryland's troopers.
There was no way that was I going to go faster. The driver behind me was inching closer to my bumper. OK, I slowed a bit to make a point and hopefully get him to back off, to no avail.
It was scary.
Finally, the driver passed me on the right and was able to get just in front of me before I exited the roadway.
Why are people like that? All of that angst and aggravation to gain 50 feet. Less than a second of driving.
Aggressive and in-your-face drivers make the roadways dangerous.
