When you are not holding up traffic in the fast line. Full speed, any lane, not even during a merge.

I am talking about drivers who will get in front of you when there is barely more than a car length between you and the car in front of you. How do you handle these morons? I hate them with a passion.

I am looking for new ways to handle these idiots in the morning.

I don't let them. I ease up there and lay on the horn.

I'm trying to get what you are saying. You are in the left lane and a car gets in front of you? Maybe you should get over then?

Oh..

I'm not sure what to make of it. Sometimes you'll see 2 cars in a row doing it, as if they're playing a "keep up" game.

From a person who drives over 3k miles a month I can say this really doesn't bother me, Don't let them in or stop complaining.. What ticks me off is people who cannot maintain a speed

They are doing you a favor since they always end up riding the arse of whoever is holding up the line until they move over.

Speed up, close the gap, and block them with the car in the right lane. It's a pretty good satisfaction watching that big truck slide its truck nut self in behind you.

Keep bb's in your car. Let them cut you off. Then, pass them and drop a handful of bb's out of your car when you're in front of them.

I hate them as much as anything. They see that I leave a responsible amout of cushion between myself and the car in front of me, so they decide to squeeze on in and use up my cushion. This forces me to lightly put on the brakes to restore a responsible amount of cushion. Then sometimes the guy behind me gets impatient. He sees me slowing down and thinks I'm just going slow in the fast lane. Then he gets in the right lane to pass me and now this son of a bitch squeezes in and eats up all my cushion causing me to further slow down. You can see where this is going. Sometimes it causes a chain reaction. frick these people.

Sometimes a line forms in the left lane to pass a slow moving vehicle. I'll pass in the right lane casually because sometimes you catch someone lollygaging and can merge in safely. If a large gap doesn't open, I'll simply fall back and wait my turn.

However, the worst is when you are right behind someone taking their time passing a truck. You can't do anything to go any faster, but then someone tries to fly around on the right hand side and cut in front of you.

those frickers! my go to method is to let off the gas and let them in. Then , just to be a dick, I let off the gas just enough to maintain my 4+ car length distance behind them.

Sometimes, to be a real a-hole, i'll hit the decelerate button on my cruise control when i let them in.

and if i'm in a really shitty mood i'll check my lights to make sure i don't have the high beams on.

Maybe if you'd quit hogging the left lane prick. If I have room to pass you, you have a minimum of two car lengths you could've gotten over in

Don't worry about them and have a good morning. Learn that someone driving faster than you or getting in front of you isn't a threat to your masculinity.

sometimes this is a necessity because a driver will sit behind an a-hole locking up the left lane without signaling them(flashing lights, blowing horn, etc) to move over. just because you are scared to let them know to move over doesnt mean that I am.
