I’m not reading all that.

Y’all need to unload your BS on your significant other instead of looking for attention on the OT

Half mile at 75 mph

Yea im staying put until im done passing

You can wait if im already speeding.


That is ~24 seconds to go .5 mile at 75. If you cant wait for that you are ghey. Hence why im not decelerating to 65 and stuck behind whoever that is.

Im out. Yall can cry on each other shoulders because you didn't leave for your destination in time

What a passive aggressive way of saying "I ride the left lane and don't like moving over".

I am fine moving over. No problem. I have no pride as a driver. I am trying to avoid accidents. It’s tough being a defensive driver on the interstate with drag racers, but I have no choice. 80-85 mph isn’t the problem. They got boys out here pushing 100 I am sure. I’ve seen some stupid shite over many years of driving to work on the interstate. They put everyone on the interstate at risk everyday.

Napoleon complex. Usually don’t see big ol cowboy dudes get out of f250s. 90% it a short dude. And yes they all drive fast and it’s stupid.

Absolutely. One of the stupid things is left lane riders rolling at 75.

I'll dumb it down then. I get over or I speed up. This post is about how wasteful and dangerous that is, and how it always seems to be a Certain Sort of Person making me do it.

Why are you breaking the law?

You personally get to decide that 75 is okay for everyone bc thats what you like? To hell with the 79 mph drivers.

You expect someone to sit behind you for 3-6 minutes (5-10 mph differential for a 1/2 mile) because you don't want to get over because you're going to pass that guy a 1/2 mile up the road? How about 1 mile? Or maybe 2? How long does it take before you actually consider following the rules and getting out of the passing lane.

You know is op is posting this long arse post he has taken it personally and is out there blocking the left lane on purpose. He has a point to prove. It’s his left lane and there is nothing you can do about it.

You do realize that the other car you're passing is also moving? It's not the total mph but the difference between yours and theirs. Lol

Nope, I think you're the one who isn't understanding that you also have to account for the speed of the person you're passing.

It takes 24 seconds to go half a mile at 75 MPH. It takes someone going 65 MPH 27 seconds. You're not much closer to them after actually both traveling half a mile.

They will say "slower is actually more dangerous" to anyone going slower than them. A lot of them are insecure (why they feel the need to drive a truck in the first place), really angry, and in a rush because they are fueled by nicotine, energy drinks, and likely have a hangover. Also they're stupid. That's why.



YAS!

It's impressive how you're both fricking up the math here, AND not understanding that you're the one that needs to leave earlier.

Get over in the right lane like the rest of us. We aren't saying to get out of our way. We are saying that you're being a dickhead because you don't have the patience to get over in the right lane when you won't pass the person in front of you for a few minutes of travel.

You're the one who needs to leave earlier.If you're not in a rush, find it in you to calm down enough to switch lanes and enjoy the ride.

You're not very smart are you? It's ok. You're right. You can stay in the passing lane all you want.

FFS yes please. If douche bags would just do this we’d have so much less traffic issues.

Women bad, Black women will not be bullied out of the left lane for any reason.
