Re: lol people mad at you because you're going the speed limit, my theory is they're sad inside
If the road has two or more lanes, there is absolutely no reason why everyone can't drive whatever speed they please.

Good driving means staying out of the passing lane except to pass.

It's that simple. If you can't manage that, you are a shitty driver.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 74052518


People in Europe seem to be much more disciplined when it comes to moving to the right. It's probably because of the higher freeway speeds, cars can come up very quickly from behind in the left land and make it dangerous for both cars.

People like you are the reason I keep a bag of glass bottles in my car because if I see you pull over at a gas station I'm going to put one in front of all your wheels.

I personally love it when people get mad at resort to road rage at me. At that point I go out of my way to go even slower and given the opportunity I'll ride the left lane purposely pacing the slow vehicle in the right lane just to piss them off even further. Awww, someone has to do the speed limit .. the horror.

Re: lol people mad at you because you're going the speed limit, my theory is they're sad inside
When everyone is going the same speed, regardless of what the speed limit is, everyone is in a much safer place!

When we have ONE idiot doing 60mph in a 60mph zone, and every other motor vehicle in the vicinity is doing 75mph, this single Law Abiding idiot is creating a driving hazard!

PLEASE DON'T BE A ROLLING SPEED BUMP! 

You are endangering others on the road, and you know it!

Please take your attitude elsewhere, and get it off the road.

Doing this in the Houston area will get you killed...

That's fine, as long as you don't sit in the passing lane.

Left lane is for passing, not blocking.

If you are only doing 59 in a 55, then move over, cuz I'm coming through at 80.

My theory is they are trying to get somewhere and some old retard is holding everyone up.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 25804150


Yeah, as if there's any way the self-absorbed always in a hurry always on autopilot crowd will ever be happy. Short of being the only car on the road.
 Quoting: barnacle boy


Yea we would be happy if the old folks would use the left lane as a passing lane, because thats what it is. But the self absorbed old folks take it upon themselves to be the speed enforcers, or they just set the cruise control to the speed limit and get in the left lane knowing that noone will be infront of them thats not self absorbed at all, while you have a line of 40 people behind you cursing you.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 25804150


Nope. I use the left lane only for passing and get back to the right as soon as possible. And your type? Still not happy.
 Quoting: barnacle boy






You live in Midland, Texas?

Like little ducks in a row, people who live there do the same thing.

Everyone is directly on each others ass, while the left lanes are wide open.

Imagine a train of vehicles several miles long. Suddenly everyone panics when someone enters an on ramp for the freeway. All those cars in the right lane, suddenly bail out to the left lane, and this is where the massive accidents happen.

The times I've been there, getting around is very easy. Staying in the open left lane with no other traffic to deal with is great. 

These people will sit in a traffic jam, and NOT move into the left lane to get away from it.

These people STOP at all yield signs regardless if any traffic is present.
If the speed limit is 60, they WILL NOT be doing 59, or 61mph. Only 60mph.

It's quite common to see them in a residential area that has a posted 30mph limit, doing 50+mph like its nothing.

They absolutely love to run Red Lighted intersections. If in the area, always be careful of this.

Scares the shit out of me every time I have to go there, and I'm from Houston!

If your driving is the cause for any other driver to change their speed or direction TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT, you are in the wrong. Even if that other person is not driving at a legal speed. That's from drivers ed in 1968.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 73938810

this applies to merging as well.
if you are merging into a highway, you merge, you dont pull out and expect traffic to brake.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 73344832






If in Midland, Texas, you enter the entrance ramp, quickly slow down, or actually stop before entering the freeway.

Next, you turn your head to see if anyone is coming. If not, you very slowly accelerate towards freeway speeds, being very sure not to exceed the 45mph speed limit sign you last had on the feeder road.

Once on the freeway at 45mph, you wait until you see the next speed limit sign that allows you to do 60mph.

Whatever the reason, it's dangerous as hell. Rear End collisions are very common in the area because of this.

Where I'm from, whoever gets there first has Right of Way. Everyone understands this, everyone plays by this rule.

Other than driving a Hyundai, I know of no current vehicle that would have a problem hitting the freeway AT freeway speeds on these entrance ramps.

Fact is, these people are stupid, and I wish there was another honest and non demeaning explanation, but there isn't .

What do you think? I'm talking about 48 in a 45 or 59 in a 55, not grandma speeds and I accelerate quickly. I just got the finger for pulling out 50 yards in front of someone in a 30mph zone.

BTW all your speedometers are wrong by 10% + 2 mph.

so when you're doing 79 your'e actually doing 70. 110 is actually 98.


FACT.

Which brings another aspect. You should not police the road as you dont have evidence or a full undestanding of the law or facts.

What are the roads like in america? do people actually generally do the speed limit.

most people in the uk are doing 90-110 on the motorways, a few old, inferm or naieve stick to 70. yet crashes are not so much an issue. they usually result from people not paying attention.

Yes, I do!

Being a graduate of theAdvanced Rider AMA Motorcycle Riders course back in 1993, this is "Staying alive" 101 stuff.

Even without doing this, believe me, I already know where you are because I'm looking for incompetent and hazardous drivers who pose a risk to my safety.

Generally, I know what you are about to do before you do it, and I'm already taking evasive measures before the thought comes to your mind. With 180,000+ miles of motorcycle riding experience the last 37 years, I'd say I'm doing something right, eh?
