I feel like I’m often being targeted by road rage for obeying the speed limit.

I don’t drive excessively slowly. I drive within the speed limit. Sometimes, as a result of obviously focusing on the road instead of on my speedometer constantly, I might go a little bit under the speed limit but only by 5-10km. It’s better than speeding.

Most people clearly speed and even WHEN I’m going literally exactly at the speed limit, I’m still frequently being tailgated. And because that’s dangerous, it’s distracting.

The person often keeps doing it UNTIL they have a “safer” opportunity to go around and overtake me. Sometimes, because I’m a human being, that’s when I lose my temper and blast them with my horn.

I don’t think I’m in the wrong for:

a) driving with the speed limit!

b) responding with anger to being tailgated which is a blatantly aggressive driving behaviour and people on Reddit have even SAID they do it literally to try to “prompt” the person in front of them to go faster…. Well it doesn’t WORK if you’re driving at that speed to DRIVE SAFELY AND because you want to avoid tripping a speed camera!
