For those of you keeping track, I think this is #37. I absolutely HATE those SOB's who will come up behind me while I'm in the left lane and flash their lights at me to get me to move. It earns them First of all, I'm not ever the slowpoke riding the left lane at 50. I'm either at or above speed. I generally hover between 65 and 75 on posted 65 highways. Secondly, I'm only in the left lane if I'm passing, or getting ready to pass someone. I've noticed this happens mostly when I'm in the midst of passing, and I happen to not be doing it quick enough for the moron who's coming up behind me. If you flash your lights, I WILL slow down, and I WILL take 8 miles to pass the guy that I was about to go by before you started being a jerk. Tonight was a classic example. I'd passed a truck that was in the right lane, and was closing on a Suburban that was still in the left lane getting ready to pass the car that was in front of the truck I'd just passed. Up comes this minivan behind me at about 85 and the lights start flashing. That's normally enough to piss me off, but add to the fact that I've got a sleeping 7 month old baby in the back seat of a toyota corolla- and you've got high beams flashing him in the face now. Where the hell was I supposed to go? I stayed in the left lane because I wasn't going to get stuck directly in front of the truck I'd just passed. As soon as she could, this moron in the van slams into the left lane and pulls up next to me screaming obscenities at my closed passenger window....Little did she realize that she WASNT the only person on the road, and now she's caught behind the very guy I was trying to pass. Unless you're in an emergency vehicle, nothing you're doing can be important enough for you to be enough of a D-bag to flash your lights at me. You are NOT important, and I will not move from a perfectly legitimate traffic position to suit your ass. ------------- ? |

If you are passing the guy and only going 1 or 2mph faster than him, that doesn't count. Also, I heard or read this recently. Ever notice how if someone is going slower than you they are a slowpoke jerk* and if they are going faster than you they are a crazy lunatic*? *Obviously not the word choice when I am on the road. -------------

Who does that at all? If I'm passing someone, I try to do it as quickly as possible without going stupid fast. Even if I am going 1 or 2 miles faster than him, you flicking your damn lights at me sure as hell isn't going to make me go faster. ------------- ? |

if you are in the left lane, going 1-2 faster than the guy to the right, and you refuse to speed up or move over for the guy going way faster than you, then you are one of the biggest dbags on the road. You are not a cop, you are not there to enforce traffic laws.

So, if I'm driving along in the right lane with my cruise control set at 70, and catch up to a guy that's going only slightly slower than that (physics dictates that I WILL catch him eventually)- then I swing into the left lane to pass him, and some moron comes up behind me at 80-85, then I should speed up, potentially risking a speeding ticket- just so he can get by faster? I'm already technically speeding, but I should push the envelope for anyone who feels like getting on my rear bumper? I think not sonny boy. Generally, I do speed up if I'm caught in front of someone- but as soon as you demonstrate that you've got no patience and start flicking your lights, I will not only NOT speed up, but it'll take me that much longer to pass the guy in the first place. I don't go out of my way to be a jerk on the road....all of my jerk-like tendencies are reactionary. ------------- ? |

Except he is correct. If you are in the left lane and not doing at least 75(65 limit) you are going to slow. I will agree with you on the flashing lights. Sometimes I will be driving 80-85 and some idiot flashes me. They are now going 70. They are not passing me on the right, because I have no issue speeding back up to my original speed to not allow it. You shouldn't be in the left lane with a 7 month old baby in the car. Also, is this a 3 lane highway? A 2 lane and you may have a point on the passing slow thing. ------------- Que pasa?

Really, Jmac? There's not some sort of law that you must be doing 10 miles per hour over the speed limit to be in the left lane. It's the passing lane. If you're not passing, get out. You should be passing at a reasonable pace, not just sitting there, yes, and frankly I couldn't care less if someone comes up behind me flashing their lights, I'll drive however I was driving. If you're going to say he shouldn't be in the left lane with a 7-month old in the car, then he just as well shouldn't be on the road. That logic is a road to idiocy. ------------- BU Engineering 2012 |

Unwritten rules of the road my friend. Obviously it was a law the speed limit wouldn't be 65 for the whole highway... No he shouldn't be in the left lane with a 7 month old. Not because of the way he drives, but because of other people. I drive normal(fast but normal) and am appalled by some of the nonsense I see occuring. If I had a baby in the car I would never leave the right lane. ------------- Que pasa?

No, I do not expect you to speed up to an unsafe speed, I expect you to watch your mirrors before you move over to pass, or slow down and move right to let the faster driver pass. If someone is going 15mph faster than you in the lane to your left, and you move left to pass the guy in front of you, chances are you cut off the person behind you in the first place and I can understand why he would bright you. sonny boy. -------------

Most of the time it has nothing to do with speed limits. In Florida it says in the driver's handbook that you must keep up/slow down with the traffic. This means that if the speed posted is 65 and if everyone is doing 70-75 you must be doing 70-75 too. If you are passing somebody you have to speed up to pass then slip back. Also, since its mostly a 10-lane highway, the left lane is unofficially called the "fast lane." EDIT: and of course if you are going 85+ in a 65 then you should get pulled over because chances are, none else is going at that speed. |

Thats just it Rofl......rate of traffic is generally 70-75. No problem. 80-90 is where these guys get behind people like me and get annoyed because I'm not going far enough above the speed limit to suit their needs. Basically, I'm not braking the law enough for them to be happy, and according to some.....they're right. No wonder its no fun to drive anymore. ------------- ? |

As long as your passing someone at a decent speed in the left lane, I see no problem. I hate the people that sit there in the left lane going 1 mph faster than the right lane. One of my pet peeves is when your driving 75pmh and you catch someone in the right lane doing about 70. You move over to left lane to pass and they speed up. Here I was catching you doing 75 or so and now Im struggling to pass you doing 80. -------------  |

I do this for fun.  I even go as far as to pace them a little while. I probably shouldnt but I get such a kick out of it.0o0o I also like to do this on 3 lane highways with 2 lanes going the same way. When someone comes flying up behind me I immediately speed up, get over and pace the person that was in front of me so the other person can't pass. This often leads to me getting stuck behind someone doing 35. So it all works out eventually. ------------- Xbl:PhantomReign97

I can't for the life of me remember the city, but it made the news a couple of years ago for hiring garbage trucks to drive around at the speed limit to keep traffic going at that speed.
Anyhow, going as fast as, or a few miles an hour faster than traffic is fine, and generally pretty safe. Going much faster, ten to fifteen miles an hour faster, is asking for trouble. It's reckless and not only are you risking your own life, but those around you as well. It's irresponsible to say that they should get out of your way because you "need" to go faster. You don't need to, and just because you want to does not give you the right to endanger others. Everybody seems to think they're a good driver, but every little bit you speed up allows a little bit less of a margin for error. I like to stay away from statements like this, but I'm going to say it anyway. If you're younger, you'll just have to trust the older folks here that you don't know what you're talking about when it comes to risk assessment. It's nothing personal. It's just a matter of practical experience, and it varies by the person and etc. etc... Unofficial rules and personal justification of behavior do not a traffic law make. It's pretty safe to guess that most people break the strict letter of the law at some point in their driving life, and it's just self-entitlement to think that any of us are right for doing so in most cases, emergencies excepted. -------------

The problem is, there are too many Dbags cruising along in the left hand lane going the speed limit or 5 miles above, that when you come up on someone that is truly passing, it's hard to distinguish. Can't count the number of times I have come up on someone, usually a young girl driving alone and talking on the phone, who is going 66miles an hour and no more, with no one in the right lane and not a clue in the world. Left lane is for passing and/or faster traffic. ------------- "When I grow up I want to marry a rich man and live in a condor next to the beach" -- My 7yr old daughter. |

Not sure if I've used this word before, so I'll give it a shot and call it my first. This. My time in the left lane, at the speed of "slightly faster than the guys in the middle lane," has been the least risky driving I've ever done. The right lane is full of unpredictability. You've got the people entering the highway, people cutting across from your left to get off the highway, and the slow and/or brake-happy and/or heavily loaded vehicle with loose cargo ahead of and behind you. I'm probably missing a few common people here, but it should suffice. The middle lane, people just drive. And it's usually just great, until they forget about you and come charging up your rear end because they hit the gas and aren't paying attention. This is also the lane designated for trucks, and if you get stuck behind a weaving truck... well... I can't imagine many places more dangerous than that. The left is great because the only other people in it are the speeding assholes like you, and some of the braver souls from the right lane who wish to venture into new territory. Even when the superspeeders come up behind you and tailgate, you know you're a few seconds away from a passing opportunity for them. When you get stuck behind a slow guy, it kind of sucks at first. Then you get to pass them and realize, those tailgating pricks, because they're so much in a rush, will miss passing opportunities in their anger. You will have a nice empty lane in both directions for a short while. Going back to the middle-lane zombies: I go slightly faster than them so that they don't forget about me. I have been stuck a few times at the same speed as a middle-laner, and without fail, that person will always drift over into my lane or worse, try to pass the guy in front of him while I'm right beside him. Go slightly slower, and they'll get brave if they want to switch into the left lane, making for some close calls. It also keeps the speeding assholes from becoming a big deal if you go slightly faster. They get some perspective: "Hey, at least this guy kind of has the right idea." The thing that really gets me is when those tailgaters are driving the same types of cars that unmarked cops drive. I have had real unmarked cars tempt me to speed up before going around me (after which I see gov't plates or "police interceptor" on the bumper), so I'm taking no risks if you come up behind me in a crown vic and start flashing lights. You aren't even getting a lane change from me until it's perfectly clear in the adjacent lane. -------------

I hate it when I'm in the left hand lane, doing about 10 over the limit, and some moron comes up behind me doing at least 100 because I don't even see them coming, and instead of just going into the empty right hand lane next to me. They slam on the break, flash their lights and beep their horn at me.
If you're in such a rush why didn't you just go around me instead of slowing down and acting like a tool until I get over and then you take off like speed-racer again? -------------

Who is cutting me off in the left lane? There usually isn't a lot of traffic in and out of the left lane - that's part of the joy.
And as for tailgaters - easy fix: be the fastest car on the road. And if somebody faster does come along, I see them coming and pull over to let them pass before they even get to me. With good planning, you shouldn't hardly have to change your speed.

My solution (other than driving really fast): as discussed above, if I see somebody come up behind me, I pull over to let them pass.
If somebody is passing you on the right, chances are pretty good you are in the wrong lane.
(Exceptions, of course - folks using all 3/4/5 lanes so they never actually come up behind you, but they really are the minority)

2. It's ok to get a head start on your own green light. When the light for crossing traffic turns yellow, it's time for you to hit the gas.
I am still astonished that I didn't see a pileup in every intersection every single day.

slacker how is that being a tool? I said people who think the 10 MPH thing is real is dumb. Others agreed. I then said I feel driving is dangerous with a baby in the car. Reb then argued with me, said I called him a bad parent and told me his wife thinks some crap I don't care about. None of that is being a tool... ------------- Que pasa?

I DIDN'T SAY IT WAS BAD PARENTING. I DIDN'T SAY TO STOP DRIVING. I SAID GOING IN THE LEFT LANE IS DUMB BECAUSE IT IS MORE DANGEROUS AND I WOULDN'T DO IT. ------------- Que pasa?

No panic attack, you people just can't read., Also, that is your opinion. My opinion is the left lane is more dangerous than the middle. For christ sakes shut up already. ------------- Que pasa?

Did I say you can't voice your opinion. There is no need to call me a tool for saying a statement. Or arguing saying I called you a bad parent. Is there something wrong with taking precautions with a kid in the car? Holy mother of god. ------------- Que pasa?
