[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP not today you deserve this but maybe you are better off interesting in a defensive driving class. If someone is crazy and pulls up along you, you slow down and let them pass. Hit your brakes or at the very least take your foot off the gas. Their acceleration and your unexpected deccelaration would let them pass you and move on. Swerving into the median and crashing would have been horrible but you didn't have to react this way.[/quote]

This was my first thought.  OP, you never, ever antagonize someone that wants to pass you.  You are being an aggressive driver, in most states, and would be at fault for the ramifications that followed.  Learn when to say when, and let it go.  You are not the police, you do not police the roads.  In many states, it is illegal to travel in the left lane, left lane is for passing ONLY.[/quote]

OP here: did you not read any of posts? WHERE did I say I antagonized them? How the hell do you even come up with that? Please explain!!

Because I literally tried to move over the SECOND I could but the asshole went whipping around me first. So what exactly did I do wrong? Please enlighten me. [/quote]

NP. OP, I think the problem people have is that it doesn't sound like you moved over the SECOND you possibly could have, because you were still in the passing lane when the car driving behind you on the highway managed to pass you on the right. It doesn't sound safe how he did it, but the fact that the car driving pretty fast behind you was able to get along side you without you even putting on your indicator light to show that you understand you're not supposed to stay in the passing lane is not good.

My guess, like others, based on your OP is that because you were doing "70 or 75" then you felt you had a right to be in the lane, period. Like, if you're speeding then you're good. Which isn't the case. You sound a bit entitled when you say things like that.[/quote]

OP here- nope. The second I could have moved over, he went zooming up next to me to pass me. If I had merged over when I was about to, he would have slammed into me  because the second I got past the trucks (going 75+), he came speeding next to me...almost slamming right into me.

Anyways, I’m done arguing this. The whole point of my post was about dash cams, not me explaining the situation 500 times. Ordered one on amazon this afternoon for $99.99 so all good. [/quote]
