Well, Tboy, I think you're like the trucker that was tailgating me: You're one of those guys that has to learn the hard way.
First of all, there are virtually no hills on the Highway I mentioned: there goes that hairbrained theory. Baddonkey takes care of the technical demise of your theory, too, in his earlier post.
Well, problem with his theory is he doesn't take into account momentum. NO one can tell me that gaining momentum going downhill or with speed will decrease the ability of anything to climb up the next rise. It is simple physics.
In addition, speed reduces torque? WTF planet is he on? Speed has NOTHING to do with torque of any engine, it is ENGINE RPMs that denote the amount of torque an engine produces......Hence why some produce a lot of torque at high rpms (small engines) or large amount of torque at low rpms (large displacement diesels). Again, simple engineering.....
Secondly, on a two-lane highway, you actually expect me to pull off the road onto the gravel shoulder so that a truck driver trying to shave a half hour off his day can go by me? You're out of your tree! Even if I did, what about the next car a couple hundred meters ahead? And the car a few hundred meters ahead of that? We're all supposed to do the same? Did I mention that I was already doing 10 kph over the limit? Oh yeah, I did.
Yes I do and I have done that......in fact, when it comes to trucks, I go out of my way to aid them in their endeavors by letting them merge, slowing down to give them plenty of space to merge, etc. Just like I wouldn't want any asshole coming around and impeding my ability to earn a living, I don't do it to them.......and if you had 2 cents of grey matter you'd know that.....
Thirdly, if you're referring to an "outlaw"-type biker, I may or may not stand in his way. If he had no way of tracking me down after the fact, I certainly would. One thing I've learned in my experiences with bikers is that the only way it ever ends is if you're the one that loses. If you happen to end up on the winning end (and one-on-one I know I would have a better than average shot), if they know who you are, you'll get ambushed some other time, probably when you least expect it, and it WONT be one-on-one anymore.
Ah so, you may or may not stand in his way, why not? Cuz when you're not surrounded by a chunk of steel you're more vulnerable???
Tboy, I'm guessing by your writing style that you're under 25. I can also guess the type of driver you are. Let's just say I'd bet a ton of money that you could never drive for 20 years professionally all over the GTA five days a week without an accident on your record.
Actually, again, you're showing your IQ: you're wrong on all counts and I have been driving in the GTA in professional and civvie capacities for 30 yrs accident free. In fact, it's been 20 yrs since my last moving violation....(touch wood, now that I've said it I'll probably get one tomorrow).
By the way tboy, if you're going to use that kind of language towards me again, you might as well just put it in my PM, along with where you'd like to meet up...
