A guy in a 4x4 pickup made a big show of squealing his tires at each light as if he thought we'd race him. When he did it a third time, the cop behind him turned on the lights and siren to pull him over as we calmly rode down the street.

A few days later, a guy called my office looking for a DUI lawyer. When he started bitching about the cop who let the two assholes on "crotch rockets" go, even though they were taking off faster from the light, I told him I was one of those assholes and we were riding very calmly and weren't going to race some drunk goofball in a pickup truck that couldn't keep up with us, even if we hadn't noticed the cop car behind him.

Ok, but did you take him as a client?

also stay out of the left lane except to pass

As an M owner... you might be right! But I wouldn't go around doing what the Escalade driver did. What a douche. Flexing like that just means he's got a fragile ego he needs to flex once and awhile. Plus he drives an Escalade.. literally the most asshole vehicle on the road.

If you are that driver next to me don't bother getting mad that just how I see everything everyday. I just keep everything in line on my end.

I expect some driver will cut me off or me cutting off people who won't let me change lane properly. Come on if you see my blinker 10 times and you keep block me off you will get cut off if you ever blink and leave a gap/ space in front of you. I don't bother anyone and nobody bother me either. It's just life.

Yeps, thas sounds just like this young senior on the road, just today women in an SUV (So U Vehicle) was merging on the ramp to the freeway, imma behind her and she freaking breaks, who ffng dose that..

Sounds like Tony Soprano. People with big vehicles are usually compensating for something small.

Rule #1: Don't argue or race with SUV drivers.

Why "SUV drivers" in particular?

Because their vehicles are much larger and heavier than yours, and you will lose in a physical confrontation. They are inherently less stable and maneuverable, so they're more likely to lose control and crash into you.

Same goes for semi trucks, pickups, buses and most American cars that are more than 25 years old.

Nope. I could be called as a witness. The cop recognized my bike & leathers.
