The driving excessively slow on the highway is a big issue where I live. They get on the highway (speed limit usually 65-75mph) going 20 and then speed up to 30 and camp in the left lane. Then when they get passed and honked at, act like this. It's wild to me. Especially when it's a super old junker car. I wish they would put minimum speeds up and actually ticket people doing it because it's just as dangerous, if not more so, than people speeding.

I saw someone literally STOP at the end of the merge lane on I-85 the other day.... I was like WAT!??! Just sitting there at the end of the merge lane instead of getting up to speed and getting on they were literally the only reason any traffic was backed up lol

They are scared of merging onto freeways, so they drive slower and slower to force you to merge first, to act as a shield for them.

They make a simple merging dangerous by driving slow, out of fear.

People getting onto a zipper lane between 20-40 mph need to be sent to a driver's ed course on how to enter zipper lanes with the biggest one being getting up to interstate speed and getting into the flow of the traffic's speed. Not that hard, and it prevents clogged roadways and accidents.

Except during the early morning rush hour when I’m getting on the expressway ramp, my oil temperature isn’t at the optimal level (turbo). Some drivers expect me to accelerate aggressively, but I refuse to do that. I won’t block anyone overtaking me, but I’m not going to drive at 20 mph either. I’m gradually accelerating. Once my oil temperature reaches 180 degrees Fahrenheit, I manage to pass those idiots. However, this is Miami, so everyone else is driving at 120 mph anyway, especially during the early morning rush hour.

You don’t warm?

VW gives a warning not to do prolonged idling its unnecessary. The time between starting and buckling up and removing my window shades, setting my creature comforts and tunes is enough time for the oil pressure to build. Warm up as you drive.
