For the record I'm only a jerk if they're riding my bumper. I don't appreciate that at all. When they ride my bumper yes, I'm a jerk

Right, so let me get this straight: You CHOOSE to use the left lane, knowing that others are going to want to pass you, yet you think they are rude for riding your bumper. Conversely, if the people trying to get around you are courteous to you by NOT riding your bumper, you still stay in the left lane thinking they are going at your speed (behind you) willingly. If they try to flash you with their headlights to communicate to you to move over, you consider it rude also. How else should someone behind you communicate your slowness to you?

Who's the rude one again?

No, no, no. You have it wrong. If they are riding my bumper in the right lane I switch to the left lane and then keep up with the traffic in the right lane. No they cannot pass. I prolly confused everyone. My bad. Sometimes I have a hard time making myself clear. I don't always drive in the left lane just to tick people off. Sorry I wasn't clear. I'm rarely on the Interstate anyway. Everywhere I need to go is accessible via side streets unless I have to go to the bank.

So you're one of those upholders of the law that feels it's their moral obligation to prohibit people from exceeding the speed limit.

From your other post about blocking the people - that's real stupid and can easily get you killed. In fact if you value your life stay away from LA freeways because you WILL get shot.

If the right lane is not occupied, get in it. It's that simple.

If I understand this correctly the drivers in LV that are rude are actually a bunch of jerks from somewhere else. Interesting...

I have kids to think about, I don't **** people off on purpose. No need to play tough guy. If someone wants to get around me I help them out.

My objective when driving is to make it from point a to point b alive, not trying to set land speed records or teach others proper driving courtesy. I just relax and let the type A people get around me.

I always figure that they are occupying the highway patrol so I don't have to be concerned about getting a ticket.
