    Im nearly at the point to just start hitting them. Not even attempting to keep from rear ending the idiot when he comes over 10 ft off my bumper and slams on his brakes. A smart man invented dash cams just for these things.

    It would be nice to know what profession the question asker is in? Seems more like someone generated this question to stir conversation.

    They got insurance. And if not i can afford a new bumper, can they afford a new car?

    In all seriousness, i don't suggest I'm really gonna do this. But #### sometimes you really want to.

    And sometimes they mistime how long it takes a semi to stop and give the driver no choice but to hit them.

    I drive in the middle lane because a fortune cookie I opened not long ago told me "the way to happiness lies neither left or right". It also told me my lucky numbers are 5, 12, 22, 37, 39, 54, 63, 65, 74, 79, 90, and 98. Never doubt the wisdom of notes found in stale cookies.

    each state has different laws for travel lanes. i can operate center as long as i can maintain posted speed limit. as far as fellow conrads are concerned...if fellow conrads would respect the posted speed limit at all times there wouldnt be a issue. instead rolling up on a fellow conrad at 75 80 mph flashing your lights and blarring the horn is ok. you two should look up travel lane laws

    I thought I missed something comrade. Lol Most but not all drive like spoiled little brats. Along with a lack of expertise in operating a vehicle. If the fear of god was put to them their attitude would change quickly.
