[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with most of what you said, but driving practice means not staying in the fast lane if you are going the same speed or slower than everyone else.[/quote]

[b]I drove at the speed limit on a road that only had two lanes so there was no fast lanes or slow lanes. [/b]

But yea people who drive too slow on the fast lanes of the beltway or 270 or whatever highway can be dangerous. [/quote]

If it's a mutli lane road, stay out of the left lane if you're driving slower than others. It doesn't have to be a highway.

By two lane I meant one lane in either direction. It was similar experience to PP above. I usually drive 5 miles above speed limit on these windy suburban non pass roads and they still tailgate me and take time to make vulgar gestures and cuss me out. I always use the slow lane on the beltway or highways unless overtaking.

There is so much anger out there. The expression of it is way more intense than before in my experience. [/quote]

I spent years driving on windy, mountainous country roads in New England. The difference was that it was standard for a slow driver to pull over to let someone pass. Here, people feel like because they're not comfortable going faster than 20mph, no one else should either. Being stuck behind one of these Nervous Nellies for miles on end is infuriating. They make the roads more dangerous for everyone because those who won't wait will try to pass and pray for no oncoming traffic, drive on the shoulder, and then speed recklessly to make up for lost time.[/quote]

Maybe but I usually go 5 km over speed limit of 30 not 20km. As stated, if possible I pull Over to let aggressive drivers pass. It is not always possible on narrow no pass roads.

The extreme anger is quite recent here. I never had a problem driving the same way on this road for over 20 years.
