i drive in the right lane at their speed, so that my front bumper is even with or slightly ahead of their rear bumper. hanging out in their blind spot drives them crazy. eventually they'll speed up and get over.

shite like this is when I'll slow down about 15mph

I tried all the "moves" when I was younger. Headlight flick for the most part worked best.

Now, I turn on adaptive cruise and put lane assist on high. Crank up audio system with something enjoyable and post on tigerdroppings while going 70 behind a car passing an 18 wheeler that is going 60.98.

Unless the right lane is open...then just pass to the right. Life is just too short to stress about it.

How about you just not drive so fast? Is the world going to end if it takes you five minutes longer to get somewhere?

Pass them, then crowd them getting back over. Maybe brake check.

I'm so glad I don't have to get on the interstate to get to work.

Sure the left lane slow drivers annoy me, but it doesn't seem to be an issue often for me.

My mental battle is with the worthless fckers who use the interstate on ramp as their "cut in line" free pass.

I drove into the Nola area from the west most days and traffic is always backed up in the afternoons from Williams to Power. Every damn day these arse monkeys jump out of traffic and cross the two white lines before the on ramp from Williams even begins and haul arse up to the front, cutting in at the last few feet of course.

I flip them off some days. I'm trying to build up the stupidity courage to block the lane like some old baws do from time to time. That makes it a little more entertaining to see that happen.

What are your go to's OT?



By the time you did all of this you could have just passed them in the right lane.

I was in Spain last month for 3 weeks and I swear they had the best left lane etiquette I've ever seen. They used this method when coming up on you:

But nobody ever blocked the left lane. They immediately get over. It was amazing.

Check to see if anything is coming in the right lane, turn on signal, get in right lane, pass car in left lane, turn signal on and get back in left lane and keep on going about my business.

I learned a long time ago that people who drive in the left lane at slow speeds are dumbasses. No need to flash lights at them or ride their asses just pass them in the right lane then watch the line form behind them.

"Too slow in left lane" weirdos are a scourge to society. What a bunch of road raging idiots.

First, I give them a couple whacks with my "Get Back " whip and force them to the side of the road. Then that's where they get mudchecked while I'm wearing my 1%'er leather vest and full face helmet

Pass them in the right lane.
Get back in the left lane.
When we approach slower moving traffic in the right lane, slow down to whatever speed the right lane car is in, and box the offender in.
Allow a line to build up behind the guy.
Slow down until the car in the right lane is just a hair faster than me.
When the guy gets over to the right to try and pass me, speed up.
All the cars that built up behind me trap him in the slow lane for a while.

Half of the time when I pass them up they have their face buried in a cellphone. And boy does that get my jimmies rustled.

ETA: imagine how much better interstate traffic would be without cell phones.
