downwardspiral 0 #176 March 13, 2009 That's where I think it's unsafe to go slow in the fast lane. You have 20 jackasses all trying to pass the 1 jackass making it unsafe for the 30 other non-jackasses around them. If the 1 jackass just moves over a lane then its much safer for all 51 drivers involved. But no we have jackasses with the attitude "it's my road too!" which is just the same as thinking they own the road because they expect 20 other people to change their driving so they don't have to move over one lane. It's insanity I tell ya!www.FourWheelerHB.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildcard451 0 #177 March 13, 2009 Quote Quote Nope. Slow people are still the problem. If you're passing traffic that's in the R lane, that's fine. If you are riding even up with them and just putzing along...well, move the hell over. There are people in this world that actually have stuff to do. So . . . in other words, maybe my pet peeve should've just been "road rage." I hope you really are just having a bad day.

BillyVance 35 #178 March 13, 2009 One of my personal pet peeves on the road is when I'm on the highway (3 lanes each way) with no cars around nearby except some rusty jacked up pickup truck puttering just ahead in the left lane. He doesn't look like he's gonna move out of the way in time and I'm on cruise control, so I change to the middle lane. Just as I'm about to pass him, he speeds up to stay ahead because the dickhead didn't want me to pass him. There's a long stretch ahead, maybe a mile before the next car, so I stomp the gas on my Mustang (what I had at the time) and shoot ahead, and he's in hot pursuit. 80, 90, nearly 100 mph before having to slow down while approaching traffic in front of us, which at that point the highway had narrowed from 3 lanes each way to 2 lanes. Well, if somebody wants to be a dickhead, and I'm by myself (no passengers) I'm gonna do everything I can, short of wrecking or causing a wreck, to keep the stupid SOB behind me. I've become a self-styled master at working the traffic around me to my advantage, like shooting through a closing gap and hanging the chaser out to dry, or just closing off a gap and staying there. Note that I don't do this unless somebody does something to specifically target me with some kind of obvious action. Yeah, not the best philosophy to have on the road, but I have my limits on what I put up with. If I'm driving in the left lane, and a faster car approaches from behind with very little traffic around, I'll get out of the way. However, if I'm in the left lane behind a long line of vehicles waiting for the leader of the line to move his/her slow ass over, and somebody's riding my ass much closer than I'm following the car in front of me (I use the 2 second rule), I ain't moving over. They can just wait their goddamn turn because I'm going as fast as I possibly can.

turtlespeed 226 #183 March 13, 2009 Quote Quote Uhh, thanks. I know people get irked by drivers in the left lane. In Colorado, the left lane on the highway is really supposed to be used just for passing, not traveling. People don't really use it that way, though, although I try to. Still, if I'm going faster than the traffic in the right-hand lane but not exceeding the speed limit, I think using the left lane is okay. Oh--and for safety reasons, perhaps the SPEEDERS should slow down. If you're going so fast that the slow speed of other drivers is a danger on the highway, perhaps the slow drivers aren't the problem. Well said. I do use the left lane only for passing, but if someone is coming up behind me as I am passing a slower-moving vehicle, I am not going to accelerate even more just to get out of their way. They can damn well maintain a safe distance, and as soon as I've cleared the slower-moving vehicle, I'll get over. Since when is the road more theirs than mine? Speed all you want, but wait til you're not riding someone's ass to do so. Talk about idiots. You forgot to include - because I have an agenda and they are NOT as important as I am!I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We don't care if you go faster or not because if we wanted in front of you then we would be. What cracks me up is when the crotch rockets do a wheelie in the next lane over as if to show off, and then zoom ahead 30 mph faster. Sometimes I just want to stick my police baton out the window into their front wheel. No I would never do that. I don't want to get charged with vehicular manslaughter.
