On our drive across CO and KS a couple weeks ago, on pack ice and snow,
a lot a them western cowboys showed the same skills with their
pickemups, along with the Tahoe/Suburban/Lexus crowd. "We're OK honey,
we have FOUR WHEEL DRIVE!" (but no-wheel stop!)
I tried to maintain about 200ft to the car in front of me, but
invariably some jerk would get up on my bumper, trying to push me to get
closer. Then when I wasn't moving closer, he would pass on the really
bad side, where no one was driving, then cut in front of me and go get
up on the bumper of the car in front. Then I would see him hit his
brakes and watch the rear end start to come loose -- so I would drop
back a bit more.
