Sometimes people are just in a real hurry. Try not to block them if you don't know their story.

in the left lane, i hate ending up behind someone who i dont want to tailgate but i also dont want to be doing 60 mph

im not saying i want to own the highway, but if everyone in/entering the left lane was going at a decent speed just to keep everything flowing nicely without disruption...that would be great

Next time I'll make sure to ask them when we get stuck at the same light regardless of their driving.

"Do you really have to pee, or are you just a douche?"

Sometimes I'm in their shoes too, but I l do laugh watching them RAGE.

Now the highway is a different story, I will speed up or get over. But going 70 mph in a 30, weaving in and out and cutting 4" in front of people is pretty deserving.

Or I love when there are two stoplights 100 yards from each other and people gun it to the next red light.

I don't like to be behind anyone while driving...Unless they are teaching me the fast line.

+1

Except the slow moving road blocks that some tards create.


I picked other. Trucks are always the worst around here, old pickup trucks tend to absolute hate me and love riding my bumper or trying to slow me down in some way.

I get the feeling that most Americans think they drive fast or don't want to be considered a slow driver so they move as close to the left lane as they can and go 65. Usually the very right lane is open with no cars... I guess people don't want to be under the mentality that they are slow drivers because right lane equals slow. That or they don't fully understand the concept that Europeans have, left means fast and right means slow.

Oh, and anything that kicks up rock and debris.

It equals open lane to me, and when there are morons blocking the middle and left lane it is my window of opportunity to pass.

Reason why I don't like the right lane is because too much car and trucks merge on that lane doing like 50 MPH while the flow of traffic is 70 MPH.

But I agree with the passing. I use it to pass when I see a opening

^ Nothing worse than those people. You catch up to their bumper (never tailgating), they are going 5mph over the limit on a two laner, your thinking fine I can handle 5 over. All the sudden they decide to speed up a bit, you keep the flow of traffic and speed up a bit too. Ok now your going 10 over. Then all the sudden they are back to the speed limit... Wait nope now 15 over, wait nope 5 over, wait 5 under....

Or the people who don't know how to use cruise control. I always use cruise control on the highway, it keeps me out of trouble. I love when a car will pass me 5 times in a 20 miles stretch, while I'm maintaining the constant speed.

I just hate all American drivers, the end.
you sound like tailgating people there. dangerous IMO.

I would just pass them quickly for good or keep a safe distance from them instead of tailgating and constantly adjust my speed.

it's not your right to block people and it is dangerous though cause you just make it 10 times worse.
