I do not even have a drivers license
rhombusrightangle
I don't understand how that even happens... I mean other cars usually drift out of sight in mt rearview

I followed a guy going 90, weaving in and out of traffic. He was my spirit guide. Sad to see him leave.

Still hasn't figured out how to shoot web, huh..

I always get emotionally attached to these types of things

Once played on the noise strips on the side of the highway with another driver going through Nevada. Good times
suretoast
You need to find something to do in Nevada
DontusetheMword
That was the best we had at the moment

Once in traffic I struck up meaningful friendship with the crackhead car in front of me, lamenting bad drivers. I miss my crackhead friends

Once I even had lunch with a guy in van with whom I happened share route across two countries. Travelling is great way to meet people.

MRW I finally take my exit
Ajierene
I can't follow anyone for more than a couple of miles before getting agitated and wanting to pass. That can be an issue at about 85mph.

Motorcycled near a car on 80 through NE for hours. Gas station: complete babe driving, most juggalo juggalo I've ever seen as passenger. wat

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one to get attached to other drivers
SlurpaDerp
I knew I wasn't the only one! I usually do a "nooooo...be safe buddy"

2 other vehicles and I traveled down Rte 13 Delmarva for miles and all 3 of us were lassoed and ticketed for speeding by the same cop.

Like we're on an adventure together. Two travelers skimming the baron wasteland. Seeking out refuge for ourselves.

Trying to free our minds of the devastation that our world has become. Can I find my family? Or are they even out there?
YouHadMeAtHell
Can this stranger be the only family I have anymore? Maybe refuge isn't out there. Maybe refuge is the world I'm in. The real hell is there.
YouHadMeAtHell
I dont like this world anymore. I wasn't made for it. Others were. But not me. I like this stranger. He was made for this god forsaken world
YouHadMeAtHell
But can I trust him? I don't know what's real anymore.... Maybe my gun is my only true friend....

If only I still had bullets for it, but I ran out long ago. Too many that couldn't be trusted... like shadows cast by what once was.
muchgoodsowow
I understand this from my cross country road trip
Cannaid
YES! This!
PurseFullOfCats
It's even better when you're both listening to the same station and are singing along together.

Highway bros is absolutely a real thing. Never underestimate the bond of a shared cruise control setting.
Beruthiel10
I hate it and will speed up or slow down to avoid this.
spartan512
YES! Everyone who's ever rode with me on a long drive who I've explained this to thinks I'm nuts haha
mthrndr01
My friend and I took a 3 day trip from Chicago to Napa. It was so cool seeing trucks on multiple days.
missleadinginiformation
Or when you notice they have a radar and slow down when they slow down and speed when they speed. Saved our butts on the way to Florida
YOUPROBABLYSAWTHISNAMEINTHECOMMENTSANDLOOKEDBECUASEITSALLCAPS
I was driving back to Oregon from Cali and saw another car with Oregon plates. Was with them for 300 miles
LivingDecomposition
I can't use cruise control on the highway here because no one fucking just picks a speed.
BulletToofTony
I always referred to them as highway homies
Quizz25S
It's an emotional experience.
willrunforwhiskey
Yup. Especially if the other driver is cute and you flirt a bit, but there's no good way to meet that isn't creepily following them home.
sosume
Fuck. I'd exit just to make sure you weren't following me. What? You WERE following me. WTF, Becka?
anpanman
And then we tenderly overtake each other through all those miles and brake softly to rinse and repeat.

ThisBeatIsBonkers
My favorite is when it's an 18 wheeler and they actually honk you a farewell salute
OtherPeoplesNamesGetMePoints
I have never driven slow enough to be behind an 18 wheeler for longer then a couple of minutes. Didn't realize anyone did.
disgruntledtruckdriver
I do the speed limit. If its 55 i do 55. If its 75 I do 75.
pastrychefin
Good bye forever
solidfox
This is the saddest shit I've read all day.
shootsewvintage
Agreed! It feels like you get a sort of closure after all of the miles you traveled together.
WhoWhatWhenWhereHowWhy
You drive as slow as an 18 wheeler?
disgruntledtruckdriver
My rig is capable of doing 85mph with 80,000 lbs easy. I do whatever the limit permits, west of the Mississippi its 70 or 75... 80 in spots

This definetly wasn't in Pennsylvania, because most truck drivers I've encountered were assholes.
2DollarBillsAreEvil
Can confirm. I take the NJ and switch over to the PA turnpike every day. So much worse after the switch.
ScrewWhatYouThinkIUpvoteSelfies
How slow do you drive D:
YOUPROBABLYSAWTHISNAMEINTHECOMMENTSANDLOOKEDBECUASEITSALLCAPS
Trucks usually go 65 in Oregon, so probably pretty slow
disgruntledtruckdriver
I can go 85mph easy... I do the limit.

DOES THIS HAPPEN? IS IT IN AMERICA? IS AMERICA REAL?!
BadMouthGent
Yup, happens to me.
IHaveATacoBellSign
Can confirm. Has happened to me.
chatychickie
Totally real! Has happened to me a few times. I call them road buddies :)
SaintMaceToTheFace
Yep

Yup happened to me on the drive back to D.C from Myrtle Beach

How amazing! In Australia everyone's just really angry all the time! I'm going to move to America. You're all great!

Very real
ThickTomato
yes happens, we are a driving country and on long drives you grow attached to your buddy, usually taking turns being in front in case of cop
forgetthisnoise
Was driving home from the cities in a blizzard and had trouble getting through the snow until a dodge with an attached plow pulled in 1/2
forgetthisnoise
In front of my car and put his plow down. Drove in front of me for almost 200 miles till I got to my exit. Love that guy to this day.

That's a really small country.

That's because the Brits stole a quarter of it.

Still bigger than Lithuania, Latvia, Croatia, Slovakia, Estonia, Denmark, Netherlands, Switzerland, Moldova, Belgium and Slovenia.

I can fly to Brussels in just over an hour for €9.99 with Ryanair or €24.99 with Aer Lingus. Pro tip, never fly with Ryanair
suretoast
No shit. Ryanair is god awful
ireallycantthinkofanythingoriginal
I haven't flown with them in years, Aer Lingus charge a little bit more but are in a completely different league.
suretoast
Just used them in August. They're still as garbage as they were 10 years ago. Don't bother. Stick with Aer Lingus.
