[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Although I got tailgated yesterday on the Beltway going 10 over... in the right lane, with plenty of space to the left. Tailgaters are just nuts.

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.[/quote]

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. [/quote]

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

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.

No, your speeding, tailgating and reckless endangerment is illegal.

Nobody needs to move over if they are already going the speed limit and the right lane is stuffed with slow-moving trucks. You seem to imagine a lone stretch of highway in the desert, but FOTM is that the beltway here is almost always clogged in all lanes. No need to make way for a$$holes like you.[/quote]

Wrong.

I speed, but not excessively (try to stay <10mph over). 
I don’t tailgate. 
I don’t drive recklessly.

This thread isn’t about me. It’s about drivers who hang out in the left lane. It’s illegal to hang out in the left lane in VA.

There isn’t magically one open lane and two clogged lanes. Stop with the excuses. After you pass, move back over. If that’s too challenging for you, I recommend taking driving class to boost your lane-changing skills.

I might be passing in the left lane and some agressive jack thinks I am doing too slowly and is on my tail like an entitled jerk.   Get these fools off the road.[/quote]
