    I agree people should drive at their comfort level, the point being made is if you want to drive slow when a passing lane comes up don't speed up so nobody can get by. I see it all the time these people are not just wanting to drive slow when they more than double their speed at a passing lane I shouldn't have to live with it some people are just stupid

    As for me i do the same thing and i hate myself for it because i know how frustrating it is. But when i realize what i'm doing i try to slow back down to the speed i was at, i speed up to make sure my four banger gets up the hill lol and i didn't realize how slow i was going till i was getting passed, but i do try to slow down when i realize i've hit the accelerator. Sorry to be one of the pain in the butts.

    I have a now problem with people. Bad weather here today and noticed a bunch of ####### who had the brains to fly past the big trucks (their were several running along at a reasonable speed) but when they came up to a snow plow working the left lane they wouldn' go by him (there was plenty of room) so now we have a mile long line going 1/2 speed all bottled up, and as much as I hate people I was a pro. and backed off even slower to leave room for the wreck that I was sure would happen. Anywho made it home over an hr to go 30mi. Why are people so stupid?

    If it helps any, I have always been a 20 mph over kind of guy. I don't recommend it but I have a high priced lawyer as a personal friend so tickets always go away.

    Here in northern Ontario we don't have passing lanes on the 2 lane highways, they're racing lanes!!:biggrin_25525:

    I'm sure they hate you too. :biggrin_2559: Oh now don't get your scooby-doo under-roos in a knot, I was just joking. You gave the perfect set up and I couldn't resist.

    You remind me of a shirt my oldest brother use to have; it said: I'm not prejudiced, I hate everyone.

    Instead of complaining, do something about it. Find the nearest mountain and drive off the edge of it.
    Viola! No more dealing with stupid people.

    If I'm reading this right this is the one thing that drives me crazy. I used to drive in the desert alot and I would get behind a motorhome doing 50mph. Then when a passing lane came up they'd speed up to 65mph where I couldn't pass them. The only logical reason I could come up with is they feel safer with the other lane next to them so they would speed up.
