This is also why someone will run up on your arse in the right lane with no other cars anywhere around, then stay there until you slow down enough or move over to the left lane, and then slow down again once they pass you so that you end up passing them again (rinse and repeat until one of you eventually turns off).

Cruise Control is apparently as foreign a concept to them as BlueTooth or just not taking calls/texts while they are driving.

Most people don't use cruise control. Most people have no idea how fast they're going.

I'm traveling the same speed, mind you...

If this is you, you are a douche and you deserve it when I speed up to block you and you get stuck in the slow lane.





Love giving these guys the old rope a dope to get them out from underneath my bumper. Slow down just enough to get them to rage fling into the right lane for a pass, and then wave good bye to them as you take off through the left lane.


I do not condone left lane camping, but frick yourself if you're so committed to gaining 1 extra car length that you will risk wrecking everyone else in traffic.

And then they zip in that space so now you're tailgating the shite out of somebody which defeats the purpose of leaving a car length between you and the person in front of you. I agree. That moves makes me want to go into a rage. I know this is a totally random observation, but I notice an abundance of Kia drivers doing this. They're driving a piece of shite, so they feel the need to overcompensate by driving way too fast and zipping in/out of traffic.

Every time I look over at the driver I pass who was blocking the left lane I see some obese mouth breather

Cell phones. Guarantee it. Every time I get behind the ol 45 in a 55 or the swerve and jerk car it’s a dumbass on their phone. I lay on the horn every time I see it but if I won the lottery I’d invent something to shock the eva lovin shite out of the offenders through the car

Yep. It's like they didn't go to kindergarten

At least they move over when they can. I had some a-hole just yesterday passing slowly and then once there was an opening in the right lane the guy in front of me sped way the frick up until he got to the next line of traffic in the right lane and then slowed down again. He had no one in front of him btw.

Like someone else said earlier if shite like that is what's causing the interstate shootings then I don't blame em.

Why do dumbass slow drivers.......Slow down when the exit they see that you just fell behind them to take. Some go so far as to block it as long as they can before swerving left

But sometimes, the problem is, the car in front of you is the ONLY car holding shite up - and you need to put pressure on them to go faster/move over. Riding their arse absolutely does work a lot of times. If you aren't up to the job, I need to do it for you. This is the majors, son.

This is why I never let my wife drive. She has ZERO concept of maintaining a consistent speed and does this exact thing.

This has nothing to do with the comment he made. You definitely SHOULD NOT use adaptive cruise, as it will slow everything down. Ride their arse, and get them out of the left lane. Don't enable their behavior.

I use cruise nearly 90% of the time...it's truly amazing how variably the gen pop aimlessly bops around.

I will set it and try to hold the right lane but invariably someone is tootling along at 58 on the freeway. It is impossible to be the slowest car on the road.
