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.
