"stop breaking the law so I can break the law"

Essentially what you are saying.

Take the safety argument, take the flow of traffic argument. The legal argument is dumb.

And your argument is "well you're breaking the law so it's ok if I break the law."

ETA: If all these strict law abiding citizens tut-tuting us road demons actually gave a shite about the law instead of their own convencience, they'd follow the law and let the police handle us speeders.

But lets be honest. All of you who see no issue with blowing off the left lane passing law only give a frick about yourself.

Me speeding doesn't impact you. You not following the left lane passing law impacts me, and all the other people who are stuck behind your selfish arse.

No, my argument is use the left lane to pass as that is its intention.

You are just dumb.

I'll just add that I love driving my wife's minivan on the interstate. It will cruise at 85-90 like its nothing, and I can punch it over 100 easily to pass. No left lane hanging out and little cars get out of the way.

Bluetooth, bro. So that I have both hands free to hang you double birds. Srsly, read my second post in this thread. I don't cruise in the left lane, I object to lunatic fricking drivers that drive 100MPH because they are passing in the left lane.

tailgate the shite out of him and turn on your brights until they get over


When I was driving on the autobahn a couple years ago, I was going 120+ MPH and figured I was good to go in the left lane...lol nah. Had a couple of instances in which some roadsters would come out of nowhere and all of a sudden be up on my arse. What they do is turn their left blinker on, which means get the frick out the way baw.

In addition to impeccable roads, they have it right on this topic IMO. Passing in the right lane is very much illegal, but not passing in the left lane is not allowed.

Based on your smug fricking posts, I guarantee you're a left lane cruiser.

My wife actually got mad at me for flashing brights on a trip a few weeks ago. I had been behind this car for over a mile, both trying to pass a line of cars. They were going 72. I hate getting pinned in next to a semi. Finally just flashed them twice. She said I shouldn't do that. But the woman sped up and got back in the right lane, and I got around and in front of her.

Centinel Just like those folks won’t get out the way when you want to pass they will never understand. Someone posted the other day the question. “ Do you realize how stupid the average person is ? Half of everyone you meet is dumber than the average person. “

God I miss Germany. I never knew how efficient traffic flow could be until I lived there for three and a half years.

Loved it when the Polizei would nail assholes (usually trucks) cruising in the left lane.

I lost my goddamn mind the first time driving on a US interstate when i came back to the US.

Germans as a whole are a different species compared to Americans. Their way of thinking could never be implemented here in America, as evidenced by our current driving.

So why tf are you acting so defensive?

10/10 people understand speed limits.

Probably 5/10 understand passing lane laws, hence this discussion.

The correct answer is you don’t tailgate and you give the guy going 75 time to pass the cars on his right and get over. Don’t come up on me at 85 without giving me time to get over, which I will gladly and politely do at the first opportunity. Because if you act like an arse and drive three feet off my arse , I might delay you because I can.

I usually wait until there's a clear path for the person to get over to the right lane before I get mad.

Exactly, that's all I ask when I'm the slower one in the left lane, and that's what I do when I'm the faster one in the left lane.

In my younger days I'd do the tailgating thing like an idiot, but I'm too old for that now. I have kids, and I live in Texas, it's really not worth getting shot over.

I just don't get why speeders refuse to just pass me on the right. They would rather tailgate me until I get off at my exit than take 2 seconds to change lanes. Why should I be bothered to change lanes to allow someone else to speed? If they want to speed so bad they can do it without my assistance.



Because you're also violating rules by driving in the left lane. It's a passing lane. If you follow the rules, what other people are doing won't have any impact on you.

If someone is going 75 they need to stay in the right lane...
Pass people very quickly (85-90)
Then get back in the right lane...
Absolutely not. The people who want to go faster than 75 need to understand they can't just set the cruiser at 80+ and assume they'll never have to slow down. The other guy should never have to get up to 90 to make a pass solely to appease someone who just wants to go faster, that's absurd.
