Easy fix, go 10 mph under. If they are still a dick, keep slowing down
I’ve had a much easier life following a super easy rule for highways:
Left lane: Passing/Fast
Middle lane: Cruising
Right lane: Exit/Slow
If I’m in the left lane doing 110 MPH and there’s a pickup truck right on my ass, I’ll signal and go middle lane and just cruise for a bit.
9 times out of 10, I’ll see that exact same pickup or other car on the right shoulder with a state trooper writing him up.
It’s happened so often in my life, it’s made me believe in “instant karma”. Just let them pass.
This is how lanes should be driven in. If I’m passing someone in the left, and I see someone screaming up behind me, I’ll usually try and speed up, get over to clear the lane, and then resume where I was at. I don’t cut anyone off, ideally the person passing doesn’t catch me before I get over, and life goes on with minimal interruptions.
Too many people go on autopilot and are completely unaware of other traffic around them. I’m consistently watching mirrors, traffic around me, and for animals deciding to cross the the road. It’s not no work, but it’s where everyone should be at when driving.
