It seems that the adults are always picking on the 16â€"24 year old drivers, Well the other night 1 was out driving and the car behind me was almost riding my back bumper and he had his high beam lights on. 1 tried several things to get him to widen the gap, such as tapping my brakes, speeded up, but still he stayed with me. Finally, 1 signalled that 1 was going to turn right and I pulled off the roadway and stopâ€" ped to let him go by. I noticed as he went by that it was an oider couple.
