I'm not gonna take sides either way, yes I have an opinion, but its mine. I go back to being considerate. And I guess the golden rule. Since I'm over 50 and seen alot of crap go down in my life, my attitude has changed over time. Cause I used to be a speeder, and even one of the people who didnt get out of the way in any big hurry . But I refuse to let other drivers affect my attitude. I stay in the middle or right lane unless I want to pass. Let the speeder do his/her thing. If I'm in the left lane passing someone and I see the speeder coming up behind me, no days I get over as soon as I safely can and let them by. Then I can go around the slower ones later. I didnt used to be like this, but the frustration to you and that you create isnt worth it. If you knew how many people are KILLED by some other idiots road rage it would surprise you.
Insisting on your "right" to hang in the left lane is your decision, but it makes you almost as much of an A-hole as that jerk behind you,IMO. I heard of a case where a tractor trailer driver was actually pushing cars off the road that did that. Hopefully it doesnt catch up with you and you get hurt or killed, but you know as well as me that people are crazier than they used to be. They shoot at people now days as they go by. Its just a weirder world we live in and I feel no need to add to it. Do you really feel better when you lock somebody in like that? Maybe some kind of revenge? Probably trying to get rid some frustrations. But it wont get rid of it that way. And to put someone in the ditch?! Wow, you get a kick out of that?! That actually sound like you have some real anger issue that need help, seriously, it does! I'm not a pacifist, not by any stretch of the imagination, but I pick my battles over something that really frickin matters! Not over lane choice and not with a car, thats a chickenshit cowards way out. Grow up, or at least make an effort. |

No, people drive fast as shit here.
People in the far right lane drive 65+, middle lane 75+, left lane 85+. I drive 60MPH in the far right lane and have people high beam me or tailgate me because I'm apparently going too slow. |

Yeah, I do it to get good gas mileage and when they do tailgate me or give me the high beams they're probably expecting me to speed up, which I don't. Then they just end up going around me.
Retards wanna go fast then they should go to the far left lanes and stay out of the slow lanes. And man, don't get me started on people who hit their brakes for no god damn reason, I fucking haaaaaaaaaaaaate that! |

I do NOT agree with going under the speed limit in the fast lane but I don't think the correct answer is to tailgate and flash your lights, thats just way too distracting and you look like a huge A hole. Is that extra 5-10 mph slowing you down really going to matter, Just chill out and wait for a gap to open up to pass them life is too short to get all worked up about someone going under the speed limit.

Also doing what you just said is a classic insurance scam called "Swoop and Squat". The smart thing to do would be just move out of the way and let them pass. Its not hard. It sounds like your out to cause an accident because your to hard headed to move over |

Swoop and squat involves moving into a lane and slamming on the brakes, where you don't have lane control. If I'm in the lane and have control you should have been far enough from me to not hit me if a meteor landed on me and stopped me in place. Also, I cannot feel bad for someone dying that basically plays russian roulette every day tailgating people. If I didn't get them they could have killed someone else when they eventually killed themselves. I usually try to avoid ditches and such, but sometimes its hard to pass up those really golden opportunities where they try to speed up and cut the middle lane off to get around me, only to see my brake lights flying at them and instantly close the gap they were shooting for. |

My sides are hurting from you too. The speeders don't cause any accidents. evar!
An unmarked car can't pull you over for one, and impeding traffic? I'm sure like 2 of those get written a month in the entire US.. You guys are out there man... lol Oh and careful, people have been prosecuted for telling people to kill themselves... hahaha Here's another one, I've been driving for 16 years and have never been in an accident. Its amazing I'm still alive!!!!!! |

I don't know about your backwards ass country, but here, unmarked cars can't pull you over, and 2 car lengths on the freeway gets you a tailgating ticket. The guy you were tailgating because he was blocking you in the passing lane, will look back, smile and wave. |

never heard of the 2 car length rule I always thought it was 3 seconds behind no matter how fast they are going.
