People who don't use the passing lane to pass

[Nicksterdemus]

If you're driving 10 over and passing I have no issue. I don't like tailgating from riding a bike. I can't see what might be in the road or what's ahead. That combined w/every soccer mom driving a SUV so they'll survive the crash contributes to me wishing to have a lot of open road in front of me.

When I'm behind someone I tend to become overtaken by tunnel vision. If I back off much some other schmuck is going to pull in betwixt the twain & I'm right back where I was again.

What's the odds? When I see the two-step brake light boogie I punch it to the floor.

All the easier to pit you into the median.

I think there's a Red Sovine tune in that somewhere along the lines of, The Phantom 309.

So what happens when you do that and they guy throws down on you ?

 

[Nicksterdemus]

As long as he doesn't throw up on me.

I relied on the Red Sovine reference tempering the road rage remark, but what the hey.

French dueling flintlock pistolet on the field of honour?

Please notice I wrote "...cruising in the outside lane at 70." The left lane is the inside lane.

Apologies accepted.....

Depends what country you are from. Most everywhere else in the world counts from the kerb out, not from the divider in.

He's going about 72 when he passes me then pulls into my lane no more than 50 yards in front of me and maintains his 72 mph.

50 yards? Seems legit, and I am not being facetious. He's still going faster than you, so he is not balking you or cutting you off. Do you need to lift off the throttle or apply the brakes not to hit him/her? Didn't think so.

A 50 yard gap is enough to cause a mass outbreak of Asphalt Agoraphobia on most well traveled highways. In Vegas and LA 50 ft will do it.

Cool, you hit me in the rearend, now I can sue you into poverty!


I have no clue who Red Sovine is, I'm guessing it some redneck country
singer.

"now I can sue you into poverty"

Too late though you can still reserve a spot in line for a judgement that, much as a Wimpy's deal for a hamburger today, I'll gladly pay you Tuesday.

" have no clue who Red Sovine is"

Available in all your finer truckstops across the lower forty-eight.

Red Sovine, based on the comments here I have no desire to know who he is or to listen to him.

Country music is only one click less bad then rap. I don't care for it at all.
I won't listen to either of them.

I'm seeing this more and more, and it's starting to drive me nuts. Someone in the passing lane pacing the car in the slow lane, never checking their mirrors, and seem to have no idea there's a quarter mile line of traffic behind them. I have to go into the slow lane and pass on the right because they never move over.....even after 15 vehicles in a row pass them on the right. If I were a state cop I would make my mission to ticket as many of these people as possible. (CT has left-lane laws)

When a person reach "Senior Citizen" status this is one of the many "Must Do" things Seniors are required to do in order to receive the "Senior Citizen Discount".
1.Drive in the passing lane 10 miles under the posted speed limit (with a turn signal on)
2. Give "The Finger" to other drivers that sound their horns or attempt to pass
Shopping in a store:
1. slowly push the shopping cart in the middle of the aisle and stop and exam ever item, thus blocking people trying to pass from the front and rear
2. At the cashier, wait until all your items are rung up and bagged, then search for your check book, and slowly write out the check, then search again for your I.D.
4. In the parking lot, slowly back half way out, (after you try to remember where your keys are) stall the engine, then try to remember where you are, and what are you doing.
5. On reaching home, remember that your spouse is still at the store.

So far I have completed 1&2, 1&2. With pride I might add!
Where is #3?
#4 mostly likely not gonna happen unless I buy a stick shift. #5, I sure hope that never happens!
