shite like that will get you pulled over on a three/four lane freeway for impeding traffic.

Well you should be able to count to 2 from the time the person in front of you passes a fixed object to the time you pass same object.

There was a LA State Police Commercial back in the day I remember saying this.

That doesn't work on me and the last two would just make me drive even slower. What else you got?


Well, what else will make you stop breaking the law?

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.

I would love to see you pull that in front of an unmarked cruiser. That'll set you straight real quick.

Sorry bud, but you do not have the legal right to block traffic in the left lane.

I mean that's cool but making right lane passes is seriously frowned upon. Especially going up an incline.


Da fuq do you drive? I could be in the right lane and around you before you could react and try to speed up on me.

Yet you can't handle passing on an incline.

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

Well I am not sure if you realize how low that particular vehicle sits on the ground but on an incline if I am behind a truck or SUV, field of view is a little more limited.

I drive looking 50-100 yards ahead of me and determining proper moves to make to keep in front of me clear.

That's what I mean.
