That’s exactly what happens to me. I’ll go with traffic, whatever speed it may be while in the left lane. But since I don’t want a white knuckle ride or become a statistic I allow decent space. My wife will even tell me to speed up. I’ll say “why, are they getting away? Am I falling back? What’s the point to be on their [BLEEP]?”

It’s like when someone is following you to a destination. (more so back in the not widely used GPS days). They seem to think they will get lost if they aren’t on your [BLEEP] or they think they own the road between you and them. Seriously, you can follow behind with a car or two ahead of you. Pretend you’re a spy or under cover or something. Figure it out. Just not on my truck’s hitch

Sounds like you're a reasonably safe driver. You probably also do silly things like stop at red lights, yield the right of way at yield signs and allow merging traffic to merge on the interstate. This freaks typical Jacksonville drivers out and they have a hard time figuring out how to deal with it.

I'm condescending. That means I talk down to you.
