    Assuming the speed limit was 70, I'd say they were already going fast enough at 75. In reality the left lane is supposed to be reserved for cars traveling at the maximum posted speed limit or passing. If they were at 75 as you say and the speed limit was 70 as I assume, they really did nothing wrong. However you passing in the right hand lane as you simply had to go faster was a douche move. Running late? Leave earlier next time. But I completely agree with the stop with the cell phone and drive, shit eats me up when I see people doing it and driving like crap while at it.

    No. Your wrong. were not speaking in terms of "well technically he.." blah blah. If you are in the "fast lane" i dont care if you are doing 120 in a 55 zone, someone comes up behind you, and you can move to the right.DO IT. Dont worry that the person is speeding, your not thepolice.. The left lane is for faster traffic. Its a social common law. I see people all the time chilling at 60 mph in the fast lane chilling at 60, and it makes me upset.

    Who are you to tell someont they are going "fast enough"? Police? Their parents? I dont see you at the mall walking slow in front of people because you feel if you moved, they would walk too fast.

    I quite simply do not give a shit that they are speeding. I don't poke around in the left lane, if I'm there I'm doing at least 10 over the posted limit. Most times I will move over if I'm able, what gets me is when someone comes up on my ass and rides it. Then I will sit there, it's not a matter of I'm trying to slow you down cause I think your going too fast, it's a you are acting like a tool and f'u at that point. People doing the speed limit on the road makes you upset simply because they are in the left lane? I did not realize the posted limit applies to every lane but the left. Nice to know.

    Oh and when someone trips and falls in the mall walking to fast they don't injure/kill other random people who happened to be in the same area. Same cannot be said for people who think the left lane is the "I'm gonna go as fast as I want" lane. I said it before, if your in that big of a hurry leave earlier next time so you don't have to drive like that. Driving in a car is already a dangerous undertaking, there is no reason up the risk factor even more for everyone on the road cause you had to haul ass. You wouldn't allow someone to point a gun at you and pull the trigger not knowing if there is a bullet in there, but you'll pilot a 2500lb object at questionable speeds not knowing what other people around you may do?

    I'm with you, man. If I'm in the fast lane and have someone right beside and some idiot comes up behind me flashing lights at me from 50 yards away, I'm not going anywhere.

    I'm going to get some footage uploaded here from my truck dash cam and let you see what I have to deal with every day. It's really amazing. Some of you guys think you have ants in your pants about other drivers. None of all have shit on me, lolol. Later, QD.
