Is it just me, or do ricers start driving faster when I am passing them? Does this happen to anyone else? I'm sure it does.
I've been commuting a lot in the past couple weeks, and I'm starting to notice this. I'll just be driving doing like 80, then when I start to come up on a slower moving vehicle, I merge to the left then get back to the right lane when I'm well past them. But if this slower moving vehicle happens to be a noticeable ricer, chances are when I go to pass they'll speed up and try to pull away.
Usually I just walk away from them and get in front of them when I'm like 5 cars ahead. This has worked a couple times, and they'll stay a safe distance back. Other times they play catch up after I've slowed back down only to tailgate me. Now a car that was going 65, and I(going 80) saw fit to pass is now tailing me at 75-80mph. WTF?!!
This is really pissing me off. I'm getting to the point where I just want to trade my car in on a black Crown Vic Sport with dark tinted windows.
So who else goes through this a lot? Is there a state that doesn't have any ricers that I can move to?
