Speed limit here in Illinois on the interstate is 65. If you honestly go 65 in the left lane I would ram your car into the ditch and not even call for help.

Wow, that's just about the most stupid thing I've heard in weeks. Real internet tough guy there!

IMA RAM YOU IN A DITCH WIF MAH TRUCK.

Typical.

2001 GMC Sonoma 4 banger.

What now?

Get the fuck out of the way, that's what now.

The same idiots that bitch and moan about someone NOT letting them go 90mph down the highway are the same 'tardos that post on here about how they're going to fight the speeding ticket they received because the radar wasn't calibrated correctly.

How about this...LEAVE YOUR FUCKING HOUSE 5 MINTUES EARLIER. Then you won't have to drive like a damned maniac. Problem solved. Well, the problem will actually be solved when Darwin takes over and you end up wrapped around a tree but I digress.

Of course not, yet some people continue to think that the laws of physics magically don't apply to them because they drive a "BMW" or they're "A great driver with 345345 years of experience" or "insert lame excuse here" - thus they continue to make whiny bitch threads about it.

then let darwin do his thing and get out of my way. you are not the police. let the police do the highway patrolling. if you want to be a vigilante, grow a pair and hunt down some level 3 sex offenders.

Hardly. I have been in this situation plenty of times where the person in the fast lane isn't even going the speed limit, and thinks it's cool to pace the car to the right and completely block everyone who would like to go at least the speed limit.

the system is designed (for the most part) to allow easy passing. Stay right unless passing. Simple solution. If there are 3 lanes, drive in the middle lane when cruising, pass in the left and exit in the right. It isn't rocket science folks.

i've been using my horn a lot more lately. It seems to have been much more effective when people are being oblivious morons on the road.

If we were being honest after you imagined doing that you'd run home and cry in a corner emo kid.

Yes, but it's rude, selfish, and illegal to not move over and let others pass.

Here in Detroit I always move over, not because we're anymore violent, but we tend to hit what we aim at.

Forgot to mention when I posted this: I always drive 5mph over. If I'm driving and someone is catching up to me at an insane speed then I will block your fucking ass in. You follow the law first.

You are creating unsafe driving conditions and are a douche. Just move over, then get back when someone moving faster than you comes up behind you. It's not that hard. It's also important to stop at stop signs, and yield at yield signs.

There ya go folks! I figured this out when I was 16.

It's sad though that some people, including numerous in this thread, feel the need to play king of the road. Rather it be driving 90+ mph in any lane or actually trying to slow traffic down by blocking passes. Just follow the rules and get to where you're going without risking everyone else's lives while trying to make that 10:15 showing of Harry Potter.
