Back to the topic at hand; my sis is an overly polite driver that tailgates. no one should have to drive with/alongside her. it's frustrating and scary.
I wouldn't say that I floor it but I am usually the fastest person off the line, I have a powerful car.. The people that I really cant stand are the slow accelerators. Driving on crowchild north at 24th street, it takes past the pedestrian bridge for some strugglers to get up to 80, not just once or twice, all the time, in every lane.

I would rather everyone punch it off the line than take 1km to get up to speed.
