It's quite common in San Diego to see a car behind you that just won't
pass no matter what, even if you're going 70 when they start tailgating
and slow to 55, they still won't pass.

I've slowed as low as 45 (with hazard lights flashing) to see if a
tailgater would bother passing. Nope, she just sat right on my ass.
Maybe she just was waiting for her exit, but I drove like that for
about 5 miles before exiting and she just kept following until I was on
the ramp.

Stupid people, you know?
