Then maybe the speeders shouldnt break the law?



The OP was breaking the law by speeding himself. Now everyone is just trying to slap their subjective title on what speeding is

frick that. It is not my duty to make sure your speeding isn't inconvenienced at all. I'm in front of you using the road and lanes the proper way. I'll get over when I pass. I have no obligation to speed up to make sure you don't have to brake.



Then do the world a favor and either not drive or never be in the fast lane. Grow some balls too if you are too scared to speed up a little to let 5 or more cars your retarded arse is holding up pass.

Nah, I'll just continue to do what I do already. I'll follow the rules of the road as I described on the previous page and you can ride my arse all you want. I'll move right when I finish passing and let you zoom past while I quietly wish that I will see your flaming crash in the woods a few miles down the road.

Those passing me are going over 10% of speed and therefore illegal.


You better not also be going on the tollways with that attitude.

Also, how often are you even on a big highway? People drive fast as hell in the left lane EVERYWHERE.

Sounds like you are from some podunk one light town brah.

So if every driver in the left lane is doing 120, that means move over?


When you can safely do so, yes.

frick them. They have speed limits for a reason. There is no law in tejas that says it is ok to go over the speed limit


No, but there is a law that says you can't hang out in the left lane.

You don't have to like like it, but that's the law, and it's there for a reason.

So you ignore some laws but get mad when others do too?

Just the fact that you are in the left lane and not pulling over makes you in violation of the law


Granted, the OP is probably just fishing for attention, but based on his posts on page 1, what law is he violating?

quote:

It does not matter what speed anyone is moving, you must pull to the right and allow the faster vehicle to pass.
It's a passing lane, and he indicated that he is passing cars.

This is why it's called a passing lane, not the drive really fast lane.

From the Texas DoT site:

quote:

Watch for signs on Texas multi-lane highways that read "Left Lane For Passing Only." These signs let you know that the left lane on a divided highway is not a "fast" lane; it is a passing lane.

After you pass someone, move into the right lane once you've safely cleared the vehicle. Impeding the flow of traffic by continuing to drive in the left lane is punishable by a fine of up to $200.

Yep, and if those idiots were ticketed, I'd laugh at them as well.

Bub Texas isn't the state to try to "learn" how to only use the left lane for passing.

I just quoted it for you. I'm sure you could also find it on your own if you felt like it.

To be clear, you are bitching about yourself since you are admitting to exceeding the speed limit during your entire trip??
