Tailgating

Why is it that when I got the X5 everyone seems to want to ride my ass?

What the hell is up with that? It can be on the highway or a regular road. I always have someone riding my ass.

I do not drive slow, but I do not go extreme either.

Maybe it's because they think I am showing off by hitting the gas really hard when the light turns green. Guess they want to show that their car can beat my BMW SUV. Yay 4 them.

noo I am going 55 in a 45!

I am talking 2 lane roads mostly where they can go to the right lane if they want

I live in a college town and It is 100% always cars that college students usually drive.

High-end cars and even sport cars such as 350z do not do this at all. Its almost always people riding Mazda 3s, Accords and Civics.

Well, it seems that you are hogging the left lane, regardless of your speed as somebody wants to go faster.

If you are going 95 in a 45 in the left lane and someone behind you wants to go 100, you need to get out of the way into the right lane. The left lane is the passing lane.
