Just install a rear separate window squirter bcp, when u have the urge just mash that button & plaster their windshields with yr rage. just add a lil oil first, they`ll neva clean that windshield. swervin like all get out. aw chit. :killingme

I dont have rage.
I drive the limit.
Its those behind me that seem to have a fair amount of rage.

personally, I get great enjoyment out of hanging in the left lane, just 5 over,
taking 2 or 3 minutes to pass the car in the right while holding up some inpatient numbnuts.

Who knows, my slowing him down my have kept him from killing someone up the road.

It only takes one emergency to realize that it is annoying that people travel at or below the speed limit in the left lane. I still haven't heard a good reason why someone in the left lane would be inconvenienced if they moved to the right lane.

I have yet to hear a good argument as to why you cant pass on the right.

Im not the one that posted the limit. I think your argument is elsewhere.

If there is room to pass I have no problems it is when the person in the left lane is creating a rolling road block with the person in the right lane. This is what I find inconsiderate.

Isn't the person in the right lane just as inconsiderate for driving the speed limit too?

Or their family burned alive because they were not there fast enough to save them.

what are the going to do?
Take that pressing pee on the fire and put it out?
Of course, in the process of speeding home they could actually cause an accident and keep the fire department from getting there in time.

but, I think you are reaching too far for this one.
isnt it just easier to slow down and enjoy the ride?

Not in my eyes, I was always told that slow traffic moves to the right and the link I posted earlier backs up that statement because most states have a slow traffic in right lane law.

And I was always told that geese fly south during the winter...

It's a damn shame that someone forces you to get off of the road so that they can fly down the road.
What's really a damn shame is that you feel a little courtesy that costs you nothing and requires minimal effort is a life altering event. On the snowy day you mentioned it would have been much easier to drive with somebody leading the way, and no car beside you

Then they can go around the law obeying drivers or find a way to alert the other drivers that they are in a crisis.

How much do you get paid to enforce the law?
Do you folks have so little authority in your lives that you feel compelled to use your steel box to exert control over other people?

That was my poor attempt at humor. I was just trying to give the most extreme situation I could think of at the time.

what if its the person in the right that came up and caused the rolling road block?
is it ok for me to then slow way down, wait until I can safely without cutting someone off, move to the left then let your unlawful and dangerous self fly by? is that cool? cause, Im not speeding up for you. I think that has been made clear.

another thing, if while driving I happen to come up on someone doing under the limit (either lane) I stay back, dont tailgate, and when the time is right I will pass them, pulling back in far enough ahead of them so they dont think I was trying to clip their front end. I dont even flip them off as I go by.

If you've read my posts you'll see that I primarily do stay in the right lane, but my point is that I should not have to.

You're telling me (the law obeying driver) that I have so little authority in my life? Why should the speeding steel boxes exert control over other people?

I agree, that rude bastard in the left lane pacing her should have sped up or slowed down and moved right.

I guess to figure out how much she gets paid, you might have to try and figure out how many tickets she didnt get, the cost of court, the increase in insurance etc... hard to put an exact price on all of that dont you think?

I don't do any of that stuff either, like I said I am a courteous driver. It doesn't stop me from getting mad about slow people in the fast lane. I am not a major speeder either, I will do 60 or so in a 55 and when someone that wants to go faster gets behind me I pull over and let them by if it is safe to do so. Nowhere did I suggest that you should cut anyone off or do anything you are uncomfortable with. I am only saying if someone knows they are traveling a long way and they are only going to do the speed limit then it would be nice if they travel in the right lane unless they have to pass someone.
