Mind you it is the kind of road you really would like to rev it up on. No houses or cross streets for miles and nice bends. But, I like my license so....
Other day I am happily set on 52 when a Jeep Wrangler or some such thing comes up and glues himself to my bumper. I leave the CC on and just keep going. He has a few opportunities to pass (at least if he was driving my car) and is still there. Finally, about 1 mile from town, get gets a big enough gap and passes me pulling a trailer with a sofa on it. That was why he couldn't pass before. No power and needed a bigger gap.
So I'm curious if you ever stop anyone for tail gating? Is it illegal?
Lastly I am proud I didn't give in to the urge to run the a$$hole off the road. That little demon of anger is still there.  |
Tailgating is cited as an infraction under CVC 21703 (...
among others). Tailgating is often an additional factor in collisions and I have cited people for that many times.

What stands out to me the most is the way the Blue Wall of Silence has broken, unlike in cases of Eric Garner, etc. Good.

Not to say I agree, or not, but don't forget he hasn't had his say yet. His defense hasn't had it's turn yet.  |

Yup, all the defence needs to do is convince one juror. |
Agreed!!....and I think that may happen.
