You'd be surprised how much fits in the hatch. There's a lot of cubic space back there.

Right? I have people doing that all the time too. I'm not trying to race so relax or get on the other lane...

Tempting to brake check these morons but you should be careful. A rear end collision is a whole lot of hassle to deal with. Tap your brakes enough to light up the lights should get the message across.

I think that it simply means that you should maybe move over - or speed up. But I'm from a big crowded city so what do I know????

You don't even know what you don't know. If you at least knew that you didn't know anything, at least you'd know that.

And here I was just trying to say nicely that you may want to rethink your selfish driving style.

Now I understand you better - your that DBag selfishly holding everyone else up and doesn't even get that it's WRONG. Good job. Thanks! from everyone behind you

That is the last thing I would do. I would never risk damaging my car/getting into an accident. I normally just speed up but with the traffic congestion around here it's hard to truly lose someone because I always have to slow down for traffic which is ahead.

drive faster?
