Nobody CAN pass her or the other slow car to the right. UGH!!!

I don't like your red car example either. Run into that a lot. I agree they are not driving safely. That being said.......those types are not going away. they will always be there. Tolerance.........

If you, yourself, insist that other people MUST obey the slower traffic keep right or left lane for passing only law (in other words, drive the way you think they should and obey the law) while at the same time wanting this done so yuou can break the speed limit law, YOU are not only hypocritical but being a "Citizen on Patrol" about how other people drive.

So basically you're saying that on a 3 lane highway with a 55MPH speed limit, no one should be upset if there are 3 cars abreast, one in each lane doing 55MPH and holding other people up. Do you have any idea how that scenario would end in NY? Well NY is not a carry state but there are plenty of people with guns. Maybe I need a gun and Kevlar. Again be realistic. It's about courtesy, not laws.


You should be lobbying for enforcement of the current laws, not disparaging people for being annoyed when other people try to singlehandedly keep them from driving over the speed limit. Clearly law enforcement doesn't care if your over the speed limit or driving slowly in the passing lane. I'd be willing to bet that in most cases when someone gets a ticket for holding up the left lane it's because they're in the cops way. Again we're talking about the most obstinate left lane hogs here which though you yourself claim not to be are defending. Courtesy is contagious! Try it!

Where I live in Arizona, I drive I17 a lot between the Verde Valley and Phoenix. On each trip, you can guarantee that there will be half a dozen cars camped in the left lane and usually doing between 70mph and 75mph (speed limit is 75mph for most of the road).

This is not a real busy road after you get north of Anthem so there is no reason to drive on the left. Probably half of them will pull over into the right hand lane after being passed on the right. In other words, they are oblivious to the other traffic and clearly don't use their mirrors. The other half simply don't care about the other drivers on the road.

This is not a speeding issue no matter what the 'holier than thou' posters on here like to pretend. It really is a bad driving problem.

ralphfr, if we are on the SAME side, it's NOT nice at all (extremely sell out) to unreasonably insult me, for no reason. Are we not in agreement about slow drivers? I don't get why you had to insult me.

This all I will say.

haha ya got left lane blockers, and we got people who refuse to use the turning lanes here in austin.. they think its a passing lane instead of turning.

I see people speeding all the time, utilizing blinkers, making calculated moves, two hands on the wheel, etc. whereas I see even more people going at or below the speed limit on their phones, cutting people off, swerving, etc. But the speeder is the dangerous one? ugh


I don't understand why people are intimidated by speeders, unless of course they are doing so aggressively and in that case I don't agree with them either but if I am above the speed limit on the highway and someone appears to be approaching me at a faster rate of speed than I am going I move over and let them pass. You need to be aware of your surroundings. No one in this scenario is entitled, its called being courteous to each other. Until someone is driving like an Ahole, there is no reason to be one to them.

EXACTLY. Speed does not equal unsafe, at all!

See I agree with those who agree with me on the same thing.

I really don't understand why some people had to sell me out/insult me while we agree on the same thing?

Nope.

Clearly I am in full agreement with the person posted that video, that type of drivers (in the red car) just SUCK and are the worst on roads!


The best example of bad driving is this type, always creating traffic jams without even any road work or accidents happening you have traffic jams and even road rages BECAUSE of drivers like that.

I probably passed about 30 left lane blocking morons on my way to work today, felt great gave them a nice downshift as I blew by them as well

Left lane blockers are IMO just one step above child molesters and murders on the social totem pole.
