Guilty conscious? We all know whom I was speaking of.................

Im sorry I don't. Who were you referring to as a troll? -
BTW, thanks to those who do not flame this poster and admitted to tailgating, which is always a bad idea. It does not make people go faster. I understand guys have impossible deadlines, but that is management's fault, not theirs. -

What is a Troll?
An Internet "troll" is a person who delights in sowing discord on the Internet. He (and it is usually he) tries to start arguments and upset people.
Trolls see Internet communications services as convenient venues for their bizarre game. For some reason, they don't "get" that they are hurting real people. To them, other Internet users are not quite human but are a kind of digital abstraction. As a result, they feel no sorrow whatsoever for the pain they inflict. Indeed, the greater the suffering they cause, the greater their 'achievement' (as they see it). At the moment, the relative anonymity of the net allows trolls to flourish.
Trolls are utterly impervious to criticism (constructive or otherwise). You cannot negotiate with them; you cannot cause them to feel shame or compassion; you cannot reason with them. They cannot be made to feel remorse. For some reason, trolls do not feel they are bound by the rules of courtesy or social responsibility.
Perhaps this sounds inconceivable. You may think, "Surely there is something I can write that will change them." But a true troll can not be changed by mere words.

Silver, you are trolling............your post is nothing more then an attempt to cause discord on this board. Be very careful or you'll have to troll elsewhere. -
As I have posted several times elsewhere on this board, I drive the speed limit. Since most of the highways around here are 2 lanes I always have other traffic tailgating. It has become common knowledge that the Illinois State Police will not ticket you if your running 62 or less in a 55. So, I have come to expect it. Big trucks and 4 wheelers. They endanger the lives of everybody in my vehicle (small SUV).
I have my safe tricks to get them off my tail and will always slow way down when an opportunity to pass arises but those who persist in riding my back bumper get the cops called on them. -

I thought trolls sat under bridges! Some cities want traffic that is traveling through to stay in the left lane to allow from merging from the right lane. This can also put 4-wheelers who do the speed limit into the so called hammer lane. My own oppinion is that the speed limit is just that it is the "Limit". You cannot justify going faster or tailgating because someone is going the posted limit.
