What would you do ?
Today going down McMullen/Booth Blvd. on the way to Tampa a young kid stayed within one car length behind me all the time and then stopping @ 6 or 7 stop lights he would be so close I could not see his bumper or the front of his hood. Not wanting to make any sudden stops or moves and keep him from accidently bumping me .. Under Rich Z's Legal Issues #316.191 I did a "exhibition of speed or accerlation".:NoNo:
I put the pedal to the metal but I've never had the car at those RPM's before and I did know what was going to happen :shrug01: The next stop light came up rather quickly and I never saw the kid again.:ack2: Anyways what do you guys do or what do you recommend in these situations?:toetap05: |
Well if there are no cops to be seen I do the same thing. As for the RPMs...if it did not hit the rev limiter then all is good. The car is built to turn those RPMs...you should run it up occassionally. It is a Corvette after all.

Instead I usuallly: A) just move over and let the turdball take point:eek: B) I just stay nice and slow and eventually, they go around. I usually opt for plan "A." |
Would be nice to have some sort of afterburner for the tailpipes. Then you could just melt the guy's front grill..... :hehehe:

Yea your taking a chance goosing the gas pedal. In reality the ratio of police to speeders is very low, but why chance it? A professional opinion would be to opt for Shadows choices above. "A" is better if your not in a hurry, because "B" could give a knucklehead a "reason" in his own mind to road rage and add to his agression. I've worked hit and runs recently where some bonehead sped up to pass a slower moving car after riding their bumper, but he changed back too soon and clipped the slower car. Then it results in a mini chase to get tag numbers and driver descriptions. |
I usually put it neutral an let the car coast, they usually past me before it gets to 25mph, depending on the mood, i'll return the favor

I usually just move over and let 'em pass. I've finally lost the ego problem I once had where I felt it necessary to blow their doors off. :hehehe: |

If he wants to take point and absorb all the LASER/RADAR flak, by all means, be my guest:lmao: As far as minimum speed limits on local roads, there's the obstruction of traffic statute that would apply, but no minimum unless posted. Otherwise we'd have a field day with the blue hairs and tourist:lmao: |
