    So, if you are doing 81 and trying to pass and I came from behind at a higher speed, you would pull to the right and get out of my way. LOL.

    Yep. Who in their right mind would continue arguing with someone who would say something like this.

    I encountered a situation where I couldn't move over and the "ranchero" behind the wheel spend the next mile until he exited giving me the one finger salute.

    I'll move over when I can because its worth it not to risk an accident with someone stupid.

    PackRat, don't you just LOVE I35 between San Antonio and Dallas? I swear it's the only area in the state where running 62, I still run up on people. Then have the azzhats who are doing 55-60 suddenly decide they need to go faster leaving me captured over in the left lane. We have too ###### many out of state drivers here these days.

    grown men doing LOL is creepy

    before i go to pass anyone, i first look in my mirror to see whats behind me

    if i see you doing 90mph, i wait till you pass, then i signal, look again, then proceed into the left lane

    if i cannot pass the other vehicle in a short amount of time, i just slow down and let faster traffic go by

    Then you are the only one.

    I watch trucks that are speeding go down the hammer lane and let the cars and others pass on the right.

    Like I said, be a professional.

    i am not the only one, i just believe no one should be discorteous on the road, whether going too fast or too slow

    i am never in a rush, but i typically drive 5mph over the speed limit, i have driven like that since i was 17
     
    Numb and Tonythetruckerdude Thank this.
