Subject: Re: Tailgating is Evil
I did not say that all Saab-drivers are evil and wicked creatures.
I'm sure this was quite obvious to other readers. What I said was
that it seemed that I'd seen enough instances recently of Saab
tailgaters (specifically late-model Saab convertible drivers), out of
proportion to their numbers in this area, that I felt I should say
something.
Indeed, tailgating pisses me off so much that it is possible that I
simply grasped at a few instances of Saab tailgating to have an excuse
to jump into the topoic. It should possibly be more of a general
driving topic.

Maybe you drive like a pussy. If you drive slower than the speed limit or
seem to not be paying attention to the flow of traffic maybe you deserve to
be harassed. God knows the driving tests in most if not all staes do
nothing to prepare the average driver for what lies ahead on the highway.
Do you know what your car can and cannot do? Probably not. This is where
Saab drivers are diferent. We KNOW what our cars can do. I'll admit I've
tailgated people, but only because of someone hanging in the left lane or
doing something else equally annoying.
BTW, I drive a late model convertible.
