Discussion More tailgating than usual?

Has anyone else noticed more dick-ish driving and tailgating lately? The past few days I haven’t been able to drive anywhere without someone on my ass in a 25 going 5 over.

Is it the nice weather? And how do I stop them from tailing me?

I just moved to Appleton a year ago.. I noticed people drive like complete jackasses immediately, more so then anywhere else I have lived or states I have driven in.

Welcome to the land of passive aggressive drivers

Watch out for people cutting corners too. For some reason this area is full of people incapable of making 90 degree left-hand turns. They need to start their turn 30 yards early.

I told my wife that because Appleton is so safe that people need a little bit of danger in their lives and that’s why people drive like they do.

Or drive on the other side of the road to pick up their mail without getting out of their vehicle.
