    Sentra drivers are something else.

    Fun story. I’m driving home on the highway in very low traffic. And if I see someone I slow to an appropriate delta. I’m not trying to kill or get killed passing and weaving. I drive an old 911 and am cruising doing like 95mph. For reference I’m in summer sports tires and this is a very reasonable speed for this vehicle assuming you aren’t around others.

    I pull up behind this guy slowing down as I approach. Doing 65 in a 70 in the passing lane. He sits in the left lane for like 40 seconds. I’m not being aggressive, I got behind and saw him look into the rearview mirror and gave him a good 100ft. Finally I pass him on the right.

    This dude speeds up to my passing speed, probably 110 at that point and gets right up on my ass. And I mean right on it. So I speed up to create some distance.

    This crazy dude was full throttle trying to keep up with me at 115 in his little Sentra tires at an absurd speed for that vehicle because I passed him after being pretty damn patient.

      Max speed limit in the US of A is 85mph so that is in fact not a reasonable speed.

      If you wanna drive your fancy Porsche fast take it to a closed track you absolute piece of shit

        🙄👌👍 and weed is definitely a schedule 1 drug.

        Plenty of drivers in countries with speed laws based in sanity handle this as their daily commute. But yeah I’m definitely way more dangerous than an 18 wheeler on 12 hours of driving doing 80 at 20x the force 🙄.

        Math fucking time!

        A 95000lbs truck crashing in. 5 s at at a rate of -8m/2 produces 35000 newtons of force.

        My car needs to produce nearly -30m/s2 crash acceleration to match.

        Did you miss the “not around others” part?

        Posted limits are just arbitrary numbers when you’re alone. As long as you’re in control of your vehicle, you’re fine.

        The Germans realized this and that’s why the Autobahn doesn’t have a posted limit aside from specific areas.

        Simmer down bub. He made clear there was no one nearby.

        We all acknowledge it’s speeding

          Yes you can. Watch. It’s quite easy to see a driver in the mirrors turning their head. Easy. Be a more attentive driver. It’s dangerous out there.

              400,000 miles and15 years, no accidents yet. 🤷‍♂️

              I’m not the one who thinks you can’t see drivers check mirrors. I can’t even imagine driving and not realizing you can infer what others are going to do based on body and car movement. I was taught that shit at 15 in drivers Ed.

                  Lol, don’t feed the trolls. This dipshit was riding the Nissan’s ass at 100ft when the safe following distance is 250ft+ at 60mph. Says he never speeds around other people, then in the same post says he got up to 115mph in a 70mph zone while he was passing and in front of the Nissan. Dumbass thinks he should be allowed to disregard speed limits because his car weighs less than a semi. Oh and one of his replies seems to suggest he may have been stoned at the time.
