what about farm tractors, extremely heavy trucks (hauling gravel, cement, etc.), tractors pulling trains of trailers, and old people who are driving very slow despite a high speed limit of say 80 or 100? should people pile up behind them all day long?

OK but if some one is already driving 10 miles over the speed limit, is it really necessary to risk hitting oncoming traffic because you want to drive 20 miles over the speed limit? And these are two lane roads that see a fair amount of traffic because they connect several small towns to a large city.

Being stuck behind a slow driver is like watching the most boring movie ever of some rear end in a top hat’s trunk.

“Oh, I have the right of way but I’m r- really stupid so I’m flapping my hand because I’m a doofy dappus traffic cop all of a sudden but guess what, as soon as you go I’m rolling my tires at you, and guess who’s insurance wins if this turns out bad, not yours”. You should always keep some zip ties in your glove box to do a citizens arrest on pieces of poo poo like that, and for the driving instructor who passed them.

How much do I cum? The answer might surprise you!

ill brake load in my GFs matrix at red lights to launch properly to block the fucks trying to sneak up the right when i know it goes into one lane, im watching that light, not gonna beat my RT, although i did get an audi all-road to hard launch once and it was pretty sweet and i let him have it

on the other hand ill do the same on my moto to get by all the cagers, i got a guy in a cute fiesta st try to keep up once lol, by the time i hit 80+ kph and was already slowing down he was just getting up to speed, my bike isnt that even fast. i did have a guy pull HARD in some weird toyota right hand drive four door JDM import, sounded like a V8 or maybe the supra engine, dunno but he had some hustle

on the highway the said aforementioned car, the mighty matrix isnt exactly a race car but i like to do a nice linear acceleration up to about 20% faster than the speed limit. i live in a place where there are frequent stop lights on the highway so i have encountered the situation where ill be getting up to speed, and its almost always a big V8 truck that passes on the right, then he drives at exactly 10 kph over the speed limit at a baby speed, then i come up on him and he has to move over. ive tried different approaches to this situation and unless someone is really coming up on me fast i just stick in the fast lane until im doing the 20% faster than the limit, which seems to be on the faster side here. im not going to floor the matrix from a stop light, the car doesnt do that well, but it can cruise at 120 kph all day.

looking on the bright side when im on my moto people do move out of the way. its really nice. ive had full size pickups put on their four ways, slow down a bit, and let me by. more than a few times.

i never pass dangerously, but if some casual is driving the speed limit on a fun road im just going to pass them, its easy on a quick moto, so i feel your pain my fast car dudes

Same but people who feel the need to come to a complete loving stop to make a right hand turn (say into a driveway).

You stupid rear end it's not even across traffic. There is no reason to bring your loving car you a complete stop to do this. You are not going to flip that bitch over pulling into your driveway.

Last year, I watched my neighbors get their SUV towed out of the ditch next to their driveway (that they flipped into), so they very well may be that bad.

My driveway is sloped at like 35 degrees at a right angle to the road with trees at the end so while I don’t need to come to a stop I do need to slow down a bit. However, I am conscious of other drivers so I do try to get outta the way as fast as is safely possible.

I do hate the assholes that ride my rear end and then get pissed that I have the gall to turn into my own loving driveway even though I clearly loving signaled you BMW fuckstain. If I ever see you outside of that loving car I’m gonna fffienfjsndjxnsnsndndndjxbvwjdhdj

Listen up buddy, if I'm approaching you, you're going too slow; I don't care if you're going well over the speed limit. And help me god if I have to drive on the right shoulder to pass your sorry rear end because I WILL cut you off and slow down. See how YOU like your "safe driving". The only way you should be driving is outta mine :911:

The problem is they're speeding up to pass on two lane roads where there's oncoming traffic and don't slow down. I'm driving a few miles over the speed limit and these rear end in a top hat zoomers are perfectly willing to risk a head-on collision because I'm still not driving fast enough for them.

I'm still confused how you think passing is supposed to work
