[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love driving the actual speed limit on GW parkway and infuriating the VA drivers in overaized vehicles who tailgate like they can push me to go faster.

Perfect example of a person who makes the roads more dangerous for everyone, and who thinks that breaking the law themselves (not complying with slower traffic keeping right / using left lane to pass) makes them morally superior. [/quote]

Yes I hate those people who say "you tailgate me, I'll drive slower!"  THEY are the ones making it dangerous for everyone.  Because then I have people tailgating me etc etc.  [/quote]

Do you see how your tailgating of people is dangerous?  The argument that "you're the one forcing me to drive dangerously because you're making me mad" is... abusive.[/quote]

So let's say you are in the left lane on the GW parkway going the speed limit, faster, slower, whatever.  I pull up behind you and there are 5 cars behind me.  Am I not supposed to "ask" you to get over?  Now I have the car behind me on my butt, and the other 4 cars are all on each others butts.  You may think they're jerks too but that's how people drive around here.  Who is the asshole?  It's clearly the one in front who isn't using the left lane properly.  [/quote]

Both are assholes!  All of the people you described are!

Tailgating is "asking" like brandishing a bat at someone who didn't get the message about "stand to the right / walk to the left" on metro escalators.[/quote]

You're off the escalator in 10 seconds!  And there is no law about stand on the right/walk on the left.  Follow the law and use the left lane to pass only!  Everything can be avoided if you weren't such an idiot![/quote]

Thanks for the assumption, but I only use the left lane to pass.

You are not law enforcement and you have no right to illegally threaten anyone.  And tailgating is a threat.  You are choosing to put people in danger.

Also, FYI, when I'm going 5 mph above the speed limit to pass someone going 5mph below the speed limit, that is legal.  Just because you want to go 20mph over the limit doesn't mean I'm doing anything wrong.[/quote]

Well I'm not tailgating you.  I give people time to pass.  I only get annoyed when you're NOT passing someone or you stay in the left lane and don't get back over.  I don't drive in the left lane except to pass someone.  [/quote]

Same. I don't tailgate and I don't drive in the left lane until I'm passing someone.

Learn how to drive, morons. It's not that hard.

STAY RIGHT, PASS LEFT.
