Lawmakers Considering Raising Highway Speed Limit

[sholomar]

Mark Belling was talking about how he was flashing his headlights to let people know their taillights were off at night but they weren't 'getting it' and instead got on his bumper after he passed them and proceeded to do the same thing. I've never flashed my headlights in my life to pass people... not once.. I can see this just causing road rage.

Who's flashing lights? I said nothing about flashing lights. If you don't know enough to move into the right hand lane when people are coming up on you in the PASSING LANE, then you shouldn't be driving. Period. Don't blame others for your ignorant driving ways.

Some people are just really self righteous about it and think that if they are 'doing the speed limit' then everbody else is the problem. Misguided, but you will never change their minds or behavior about this unless police actually start pulling people over for going the speed limit in the passing lane. Also, when driving in such heavy traffic, it's impractical to expect everyone to magically move over for someone who wants to fly when both lanes are full.. so then you have those dangerous drivers that weave back and forth between lanes to save a few minutes. They say variety is the spice of life though.
