In the Twin Cities? You're lying.

Lol I drive a lot at night since I work overnights and if I'm going 65-70 on a road where the limit is 55 and the person behind me is flashing headlights because 15 miles above the speed limit is too slow for them, too bad I am not moving over or anything. Tailgate me all you want, it'll be your fault when you hit me and it'll be your insurance going up.

Inconsiderate. You are supposed to pass in the left lane not decide if your speed is appropriate for other drivers.

The world doesn't really revolve around speeders, if you want to drive fast on public roads just accept the fact that many people are going to be in your way...

What? That's not what we are talking about. If you are in the left lane not passing anyone and a car comes up behind you then you are required by law to move over. It's not about 'speeders' it's about traffic flow.

There's some weird vigilante thinking in some people's minds who camp in the left lane (Well they shouldn't be driving so fast anyway!)

Does anyone else who is forced to pass in the right lane attempt to instill a feeling of guilt in the other driver with a death stare? It never works, but just once I wish I could subconsciously communicate with them, then watch them sulk and move into the correct lane. I'm too passive to actually use a hand gesture.

I've been tempted to move back into the left lane and brake check them but usually they are so inattentive I'm affraid they wouldn't see me and rear end me.
