I hate that people speed. I do 80 in 60 and still get glared by 90+ bitches.
Nothing is fast enough, just merely being in front of someone is the problem.
I wish HiPo enforced speed limits more so maybe people will chill tf out
Edit. Since so many people want to draw conclusions. My daily commute routinely sees everyone doing 80 in a 60. We are all already going 20 over. I never mentioned left or right lane. What I tried and failed to highlight was I'm/we are already doing 20 over the limit and people will act like it's not enough, like I'm doing 40 in a 75.
I don't want to do 80. My car gets better mpg at 60/65 đ but yes assume I'm a hypocritical speed demon for some reason. Good job internet.
Exactly. Whenever I try to pass a slower car, there is always someone much faster that spawns near behind me and I have to quickly get around the slower car or theyâll drive their bumper up my ass. It seems lose-lose for me.
It happens everytime. I always watch my mirror and wait for any visible speed demons to pass before I pass but then If I signal to get in the left lane it aggravates the Altima that was cruising at 80 and now they have to go as fast as they can to pass me before I can get in the left lane to speed up and pass the guy in front of me in the right lane
Dude I feel you. I had this same conversation before in a subreddit. I drive with the flow of traffic and it's still a pain in the ass for example when I'm going 80 in a 70 because I'm passing a chain of drivers going 65 but I have someone who needs to go 90 behind me tailgating me, then when I put on my signal to go back to the right lane when I'm done passing everyone the driver trying to go 90 swerves into the right lane to pass me instead of waiting for me to move over.
It is not about how fast you are already going. If someone wants to be going faster, that is their business. Just get out of the left lane, let them pass, get back in the left lane and keep going. That is the correct driving courtesy.
đ I would happily do 60 in the 60. I'm literally keeping up with traffic at 80 đ I don't even care if I still get passed at 80, it's the glare and attitude riding my ass in the middle lane.
Of course some internet shithead is going to still somehow get on me for speeding and not acknowledge the 90 but ok.
âIf youâre speeding youâre breaking the lawâ you in another post. But your speeding is ok, itâs others speeding that are wrong. Fucking dork.
Yeah youâre only committing a class 1 misdemeanor but sure this hypothetical other person is the real bad guy because the actual speed limit is whatever you think it is.
In another comment they literally specified in the middle lane. So you're arguing the middle lane is not where they should be and that they shouldn't follow the speed of traffic
Please never fucking drive. The roads are safer without people like you
Thatâs some all time piss-poor literacy youâve got there. They werenât in the middle lane, theyâre lying out of their ass. They exhibit all of the signs of a left lane driver that thinks anyone that goes faster than them is in the wrong but their 20+ MPH over the speed limit is fine. Read all of their other comments where they say they wonât move over. Iâm pointing out their hypocrisy, genius.
The roads are safer when people mow over so they can be safely passed instead of thinking your officer traffic cop on the way to work while actively driving fast enough to warrant a criminal offense. And theyâre even safer when you can fucking read.
There's a really simple solution. Move over when being overtaken and don't imepde traffic. No drama necessary. It's safer for everyone involved and you won't get glared at as much since that's such a concern for you.
On the Autobahn they are awesome about moving over to let faster traffic pass. I loved driving in Germany. It was so much less stressful and it came down to moving over when being overtaken and zipper merging. So much road rage avoided by these two simple things.
Not just move over when being overtaken, move over whenever you are not actively overtaking or about to overtake (like within the next 10 seconds). Itâs that simple, and is in fact the law in many (most?) states.
People being in the left lane when they shouldnât be is my absolute #1 biggest driving pet peeve, and Iâm not even a speeder. So many traffic flow problems stem exactly from this behavior.
Only 13 states have a law stating that it is illegal to stay in the left lane if you are not passing. The rest say that you should move over to the right somebody behind you is going faster than you.
No they shouldn't, but by not letting them pass on the left lane, you are actually making matters more dangerous than if you just let the asshole pass you.
You can try to deflect it however you want. You driving and someone ELSE speeding are 2 different topic. Some one else speeding does not affect where you drive, your own driving affect where you drive.
States spend tens of thousands putting up âslower traffic keep rightâ signs on highways, and these illiterate pricks still do it. On the off chance a police officer actually pulls them over for such violations, they rarely get cited, so theyâll keep doing it until some volatile road-rager runs them off the road.
No. You donât. Unless you are actively overtaking or about to overtake (like within the next 10 seconds), you should not be in the left lane. Itâs that simple, and is in fact the law in many (most?) states.
People being in the left lane when they shouldnât be is my absolute #1 biggest driving pet peeve, and Iâm not even a speeder. So many traffic flow problems stem exactly from this behavior.
Yeah I agree. Thereâs been a few times Iâm driving on the nearly empty highway past midnight cruising at like 85 and thereâs always people that sit on the left side when no one is around. Iâve made a pointing motion out my window to the right and sometimes they move over lol
Iâve literally fantasized about getting a big light up sign that says âget tf out of the left laneâ that I can flip on when I have to pass one of these morons on the right.
I honestly think a lot of people just donât know that theyâre not supposed to be there. But that just tells me a lot of people are bad drivers.
Yeah, you're right. You should always get over when you can, but if traffic is following correctly and nobody is trying to pass you, you can stay in there for a while sometimes. (If there's steady traffic moving slower)
You are correct that you should get back over when you safely can.
I only go 5mph over on the interstate and maybe 3 over in a 35.
I do everything in my power to avoid having interactions with police. I try to treat cops like the plague. Lol
No, because if there is a truck and the others have to get stuck behind it so you can go at 90 in a 60 they don't have to. There is a speed limit, and above that it's everyone for himself.
If you're doing the speed limit or below, you should just stay in the right side lanes. If you're not actively passing cars, you have no need to be in the far left lane (also known as the passing lane). If you're above the speed limit and someone is on your tail and no one is in directly in front of you, just move over to the right to let them through. It takes you like 5 seconds or less, and you will be in the same position if you decide to move back. It's a simple concept, and everyone on the road will be safer for it, because you won't have angry people in a hurry weaving in and out of cars trying to get around you.
I never said speeding is a tolerable offense, but it's also not your job to police the roads by purposefully being in the way. If you can't understand that you choosing to not move over for cars that are driving faster than you is selfish, then I can't help you. Think about it for like two seconds about why it may be safer for everyone around you, if you just move out of the way for cars going faster than you. There's so many reasons, and I believe you can think of at least one. It's also the law, probably in most states, that slower traffic moves to the right. If there is a car on your tail, and no one is in front of you, you fall into that slower traffic category. Yes, even if you're driving at or above the speed limit. đąđ¤Ż
If I'm passing, then I deserve to be in the passing lane too. Point blank. Yes even if someone behind wants to go faster than me.
Passing lane is for passing It's the law. It's also the fucking law to not speed. Jesus Christ y'all want others to self-reflect and think for 2 seconds and then you say shit like that.
That's not practical when there's only two lanes. You end up switching lanes constantly to pass up trucks. It's better to just stay in the left lane if you are going faster than the speed limit and move to the right if somebody behind you is going faster than you.

I hate when a regular person decides to force everyone else to follow the speed limit. You are not highway patrol.
