Don't tell me that's safer than simply choosing a reasonable speed with the flow of traffic and hitting your cruise control.

Wait till self-driving cars become popular. There will be glassbowls like my friend weaving in and out of traffic till we're all in traction.

It’s not safe to pick a speed in the left lane just move to the right.

I know you just want to have a clear left lane all to yourself but it does not work like that. Lots of people need to pass..just not at 90 miles an hour. wait your turn or get someone else to drive.

Pass, and then move over when you're done.

As if that were good enough for the yahoos out there on the road. Give people.a chance to pass and move over and if it takes them longer than to your liking....too bad

You can put on your signal to indicate that you are moving over.

If I'm in the left lane with my cruise control set at 15 miles over the speed limit, you can just wait behind me because you are clearly a menace to society.

You aren’t the lane police, d1ckwad.

Np-lol. PP wasn’t trying to be the lane police. You, on the other hand, are hysterical. Calm down.

Excellent suggestion!

Who knew there were so many driving dilettantes who can mange to get up to 70+ MPH but get scared to change lanes, doubly scared if there's a car behind them. How did you ever manage to get into the left lane to start with?

And they all get in a huff at the mere suggestion to extend some courtesy to others on the road (and, in some states, comply with the law).

Even if someone is parking in the left lane, you're an idiot if you don't leave following distance it's a basic safety measure.

This thread isn’t about tailgaters. It’s about people who don’t follow the universal rules of the road. It’s inconsiderate and dangerous.

Again, if people in the left lane are already going at or above the speed limit, why are you still angry?

I’m not angry. Just trying to understand why they feel entitled to just stay there and block traffic.

It’s dangerous and even illegal in VA.

I stay right and pass left but, I mean, speeding is also illegal in VA, right? It doesn’t make sense to pretend it’s a respect for law motivating you.

Ugh. We're also using the left lane to pass slower traffic on the right, we just do it responsibly going 70 instead of being a reckless idiot like you.

Also, if you hit someone from behind, by definition that's your fault. So take a chill pill and calm the f8ck down!

It's more to point out the hypocrisy of those upthread who seem to believe that everyone going even 1 MPH above the limit is a menace to society for breaking the law but think it is their God-given right to sit in the left-hand lane.

I mean, you know nothing about how I drive, and you're also the one swearing into the void. So perhaps you should reassess your take on the situation.

And then turn on your turn signal and change lanes when you're done passing.

Nope. I don't want to get stuck behind the truck going 50. I'll be going 70 in the left lane, thank you.

You seem to have anger management issues.

Wow, how do you get angry with anonymous posters? Two of you probably don’t even have a drivers license and are past your bed time
