I have news for you Mr Nguyen, when you break the law by doing 70-75 mph, it is more than your business. You are endangering the lives of everyone else on the road. I pay just as much road use tax as you do and I should not be subjected to the kind of driving that you obviously do. I repeat my earlier message: If I am doing 55 mph, I have the right to be anywhere on the road that I want to be. Obviously, knowing the mentality of most people who tailgate, I don't practice this; I will get the hell out of the damn fool's way. That doesn't mean that the person's not an asshole though.
