Why do these full size trucks do this crap.

I was driving to work this morning and just cruising at about 70 when I sped up to be able to merge into an exit lane. Just then I see this Avalanche follow suit. He is then riding me, so I speed up a little bit and he continues. I ignore him and stay the same speed until I hit a curve on the exit ramp that is marked 35mph. I take this ramp every day to work, so I know it well. At that point I drop into 3rd and floor it and take the curve at 80.

Needless to say, no more Avalanche

Usually they are trying to compensate for something small...

I have noticed that a lot of stupid people in trucks and SUV's will ride my bumper and refuse to pass or back off barring anything short of me throwing ball bearings out of the roof at them (It works, trust me ) when I am on a straightaway. However as soon as I take a 35M.P.H. on or off ramp at 60-80 they are nowhere to be found in my mirror as they dodder through it at 20.

The curves are your friends. Stay within the curves.

Yeah, at 3/4" we're talking civil war weaponry... Anyway, I knew he was referring to a James Bond style device to drop a bunch of balls at once, just thought it was funny the way it was worded...
