If you don't do this please drink some Drain-O - Toyota Yaris Forums

Reading this thread reaffirms that there is no consensus on how to freaking drive.

Those that have supported driving 65 in the passing lane...please partake of your Drano.

Proper driving etiquette means pulling to the right if anyone comes up behind you in the PASSING lane. Does NOT matter what speed you're going. If you're going 90 mph in the left lane and someone else wants to pass, move over unless middle lane traffic does not permit it. Plain and simple. It's not your job to police the road by going no faster than the speed limit and blocking others.

As for why cops speed while not in pursuit or emergency situations? It's quite simple. They need to constantly overcome new traffic to find lawbreakers. If they paced everyone at 65, they'd be wasting their time because they'd stay with the same group of cars that wouldn't dare pass him. What would that accomplish other than traffic congestion behind him? By going the usual 80-85 cruising speed they do, it allows them to catch up to unsuspecting speeders. They are in fact trained at high speed driving and have enhanced cars that perform well at speeds. It's not the same danger as some careless punk weaving traffic.

Maybe we need to send about half of America to Germany for some driving lessons.
