An open letter to tailgaters

Dear tailgater,

First, allow me to apologize for my inconsideration for even thinking that I am worthy enough to drive on the same road that you use.

I completely understand that I am a nobody, and that I am getting in the way between you and your more important life. I promise you that the next time I spot you in my rear-view mirror coming from 10 kilometers away, that I will go beyond the permissible speed limit by at least 40 - 60 kilometers per hour to attempt overtaking the queue of other peasants like me who are driving on the next lane; all in time so you may have a clear passage through. I certainly do not wish to cause you any discomfort whatsoever by you being forced to use the breaks in order to slow down to normal speed limits. Should I somehow accidentally not notice you being driving behind me until you find it inconveniently necessary to use your high head lights, rest assured that I will try to shift as dangerously close as possible to the car on my right to make enough room for you to over-take me from the left.

I thank you for your understanding, and I promise you that I will try my best to not use the road as much as possible in order to keep it clear for your sole use.

Best regards,

Your average worthless common driver
