    The closer you get the slower I drive

    Edit: in the right lane. I ain’t no fucking hammer lane cruiser

            The “odɿυT” sticker on the front of the car is written in mirror writing, so that when you’re one the Autobahn and somebody pulls up behind you with their BMW 2002 Turbo you’ll be able to read “Turbo” in your mirror and free the way for them

            They got sued because of that by the german state btw

              I was driving a rental when I visited the Czech Republic. On the highways there the speed limit was about 70 mph (whatever that is in kilometers), but Germans frequently use the Czech Republic as a shortcut to Austria and forget (or don’t care) that they’re not on the Autobahn any more. There were many times when I would glance in the rearview and see empty road behind me for five miles or so, then seconds later I’d glance again and see the grille of a BMW right behind me with headlights flashing even though I was already in the right lane. Truly scary shit.

        Well they’re obviously letting me know that my windshield is dirty, so I fire up the washers. So considerate!

        Clearly they are warning you of danger. Best drive extra vigilant, which might imply driving slower :P

      Same. I just take the cruise control down slowly until they back off. If they get off my ass, we can go back to the speed limit.
