haha James. He is right i've been driving my neighbors Miata until my car is done.
both..... *shrugs*
"Drop 5 stacks on the makeup bag"
People driving on the shoulder due to backed up traffic pisses me off to no end. Wouldn't want them to be late for their "nothing" that they're heading to.
i drive on 75, 285 and a little on 85 everyday. and it sucks.
My biggest annoyance are idiots that drive on the shoulder to just get in front of you in a grid lock......
or the idiots on 25 inch rims in a crown vic weaving in and outta traffic like they are in a f1 car.
if they ever get on the shoulder and try to bump in front of me i just speed up in my little gti so they are stuck...
assholes
that doesnt bother me if you exit is right there. by all means it just means one less car in the traffic.
it pisses me off when your doing a really slow crawl and they whip out and try to get in front of you. thats what kills me.
First, do you not understand the concept of what the left lane is for? Regardless of the speed you are traveling you always yield to the person behind you, no matter what. The left lane is not to be driven in UNLESS you are passing someone, when you pass that vehicle you merge over one lane. Simple as that.
Second, what car do you own that allows you to drive 10mph over the speed limit on a expressway in second gear? If you have to feel the need to BRAKE check someone while traveling in the left lane then you're in the wrong lane.
I put people in the guardrail or wall for that...if I see them coming I will always swerve in front of them and cut them off. Numerous times I've seen people do that then get blocked at an exit or by a stranded car and the emergency vehicles behind them can't get through. To the people that do it, what if that's your family wrecked ahead and emergency vehicles can't get to them in the time they should? The emergency lane is exactly that, for emergencies. Some areas do allow buses and buses only to travel on it.
oooohhhhhhhhhhh yyyyeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
if there was a blank spot to your right what you should have done was pull the fuck into it, riding your ass in the fast lane usually means "YOU AREN'T USING THIS LANE RIGHT, IT'S FOR PASSING ONLY, YOU ARE GOING THE SAME SPEED AS THE CAR TO THE RIGHT OF YOU, NOT FASTER?!?!?!?!" that's what it means when I come up in the fast lane and flash my lights (I don't get that close though, one following too close charge was enough for me).

see what pisses me off is that THIS pisses people off. It's called FLASH TO PASS. It is not a sign of aggression, I am not flashing to say fuck you, I am not trying to blind you, it's just that I don't have your phone number and can't call you and politely say "Hey, I am behind you, I don't know if you saw me approach you in your rear view or not but you might have noticed I was going faster until you became an obstacle to me. I would very much appreciate it if you would find a decent gap to your right to occupy for a short time while I make a pass in this lane which is designed for me to pass you, then you can come back into this lane and continue the passes you were making, just slower than I wished to travel, if I am going too fast and get a speeding ticket for it, that's a problem I will have to deal with, have a nice day." I'll flash, because I want to pass, it is nothing personal, and I am not trying to be a dick, I just assumed you didn't notice me, and would like to be noticed so that you can help me properly use the lane to be on my way, but no, people take it as a sign of "hey asshole, move the fuck over" which it is not.

In California:
21753. Except when passing on the right is permitted, the driver of an overtaken vehicle shall safely move to the right-hand side of the highway in favor of the overtaking vehicle after an audible signal or a momentary flash of headlights by the overtaking vehicle, and shall not increase the speed of his or her vehicle until completely passed by the overtaking vehicle. This section does not require the driver of an overtaken vehicle to drive on the shoulder of the highway in order to allow the overtaking vehicle to pass.
Also, this below is from Wiki, so not a very credible source, but it's how I feel
I know it's illegal, but there is NO safe way for a non officer to enforce the passing lane laws. If someone doesn't know the rule, and why should they, I mean, American driver's ed doesn't touch on the left lane laws(this REALLY pisses me off), then they will forever cause problems by misusing the lane. And cops hardly ever actually pull people over for cruising in the left lane and giving them the "disrupting the flow of traffic" charge they deserve. I don't see why flashing the lights is considered rude, so long as you're not on their ass.Originally Posted by Wikipedia, I know, it's a shitty reference

Are you in California? http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/vctop/d11/vc21753.htm
Flash to Pass is in Europe only (and California). My European motorcycle had the switch but no US bound European cars have the switch that I have seen.
First, no I am not, but you said name ANY state where it si legal, and I did, don't try to dispute that. Also, you didn't read what I wrote below the wiki link did you? Also, the "IN GERMANY" ytou highlighted isn't pertaining to the flashing either, it's to using your left blinker......
I AM AWARE IT IS ILLEGAL BUT IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO ME. Flashing to pass is the only non harmful way to try to get people to use the passing lane properly, when they can match pace with the car to the right of them and slow down your commute, all because THEY are breaking the laws, but the law has left you with no way of letting them know they are in the wrong and how it is fucking up your commute. The countries that actually allow flashing to pass have it right. I said I was aware that it is illegal already though, so I still don't get what you're trying to tell me.

Typically I would let them get in the right lane gas it and block them in. Is it the right thing to do. No but why the fuk can people not drive.

Um, why be a hypocrite on the road? Your going s l o w e r than the fastest car in the fast lane i.e. move over.
If that was me, I would of done the same. U took to long and KNEW i was in the process of catching u and u refused to move. So.. instead of shrugging off my momentum, I would make my way around u in the same fashion.
U throttling someone because they caught u makes as much sense as them passing u and then slowing down because u happen to be behind them now. No drag racing, just let the fastest car through. If I was him and I got a ticket, I got what I deserved. U arent always the fastest moving on the highway just as I am not always the fastest, even IF I get passed at 85mph. MOVE
CHASE ->>> WHAT MATTERS
A Hypocrite? haha. Obviously you need to reread what I originally wrote. Yes I was in the left lane but i wasn't going to ride the person in front of me. So I gave them space. The guy behind me feels the needs to be infront of me and make the 15ft gap between me and the car in front of me to about 2 ft. If I'm not passing people or have a reason to be in the left lane I'm not going to be in it.
