So i've been driving for 8 hours today, made my way back from Pittsburgh. I really wan't in the mood for a long drive, but i had no choice but to come home today (i was supposed to yesterday, but felt tired after seeing a concert and partying the night before, so i let myself rest). I'm always a safe driver, checking my oil, tire pressure, etc, and on the roads, always keeping to the right to let others pass... which is where this thread comes in.
Listen, if you are in the left lane and another car is coming up behind you, please, move to the right. you're supposed to be checking your rear mirror anyways, and able to judge that "Hey, that guy is going a bit fast, let me put my right blinker on and move out of the way for him, so i can keep going the speed i want but let him go the speed he wishes." but you know what? no, nobody really does that shit anymore. I do, n i feel like i'm the only one. ok, not bad, i'll just pass on the right... not exactly safe, but the stubborn driver ahead gives me no choice, i've flashed him a couple times with my brights, and even tailed him a little close for 2 or 3 seconds to see if he'll be intimidated into moving. What could be worse? OH! theres already someone in the right lane, going the EXACT SAME FUCKING SPEED!! listen, if the speed limit is say 65, and the guy in the right is going 70 and you feel that you must pass him, and all of a sudden you are afraid to go too high over the limit, than fine, DONT PASS HIM! if you got in the left, than go for it, pass him, maintain your passing speed for some distance so as not to suddenly slow down in front of the guy you passed, but for god's sake, don't just cruise next to the guy, there are pple that want to get past! this action only causes congestion and dangerouse weaving from stupid drivers, and i'm caught in between. move the fuck out of the way, and learn some fucking courtesy on the road. ... fucking assholes
