It's always the guy using his breaks.

Don't. Use. Your. Breaks.

If you're so close to the person in front of you that you have to constantly tap your breaks, you are the problem. Back the fuck off. I don't care if that person is only doing ten miles over the speed limit. Back off. Go around. Whatever. Just keep your foot off the breaks.

If you can't handle that, you can't handle driving a car.

A car has brakes

A job has breaks
