re: People who tailgate you for doing the posted speed in a school zone

Why? Also, that isn't idling.

Why do people think there is a "fast lane" on a city street?

The law in Georgia is if there are two lanes and you are not turning left and someone comes up behind you, you must get over. highway or city street

Because I can, and if my engine is only turning 750 rpms it's idling.

The are a lot of things you can do that you choose not to do. My simple question was why you "idle" in this situation. "Because I can" isn't a legitimate response. It's as childish and petulant as your "idling."

How about neither one of us owns the road and if I want to go the speed limit, you making love to my rear bumper with your car is not going to persuade me otherwise. And if I have to brake suddenly and you hit me due to being a jackass, I'm going to be livid, to say the least.

Who cares if there is a designated "fast lane?" Quit taking it as a sign of disrespect that someone wants to go faster than you and move out of the way if practical to do so.

---

I don't take it as such. I just view people that fly up and ride your arse not knowing if you have to turn ahead as idiots. They just feel you should get out of their way.

Who cares what they feel? Get out of their way if practical and continue on in a reasonable manner if not. It's pretty simple and doesn't require anger or passive aggressive techniques.

You have a link for that?

even better the law in its own words

quote:

---

Impeding traffic flow; minimum speed in left-hand lanes


(a)(1) No person shall drive a motor vehicle at such a slow speed as to impede the normal and reasonable movement of traffic, except when reduced speed is necessary for safe operation.

(2) On roads, streets, or highways with two or more lanes allowing for movement in the same direction, no person shall continue to operate a motor vehicle in the most left-hand lane at less than the maximum lawful speed limit once such person knows or should reasonably know that he is being overtaken in such lane from the rear by a motor vehicle traveling at a higher rate of speed, except when such motor vehicle is preparing for a left turn.

sorry it was slightly amended to take out the lawful speed

(c) Upon roads, streets, or highways with two or more lanes allowing for movement in the
28 same direction, no person shall continue to operate a motor vehicle in the passing lane once
29 such person knows or should reasonably know that he or she is being overtaken in such
30 lane from the rear by a motor vehicle traveling at a higher rate of speed. For purposes of
31 this Code section, 'passing lane' means the most left-hand lane other than a high occupancy
32 vehicle lane

One that keeps happening to me is during rush hour when there are tanker trucks in the right lane and cars in front of me in the left lane. And sure as shite, some jerkoff is going to ride my arse as though I need to get out of his way even though neither one of us is going anywhere.

in belle meade, if you are in the left lane and you're not turning or passing on belle meade boulevard, they will ticket you at $110.

AND THEY DO WITH RECKLESS ABANDON
