i started throwing change at people's windshields who do this after i finally drive past them. change or trash or empty water bottles or whatever if i don't have any change, but i prefer the change because it has the potential to crack/chip the windshield. and once i threw a 1/3 full tropical smoothie cup into someone's open widow for doing this.

My favorite thing about the "passing lane" enthusiasts is their simultaneous use of the law as a cudgel while flagrantly ignoring it and putting others at risk. Well, that and them being rage-addled chimps.

frankly i think the most pressing concern regarding self driving cars is whether ghostriding will still be possible? is it really still ghostriding if there's zero statistical chance of accidentally rolling into a grocery store or something?

I have a nice car that was actually designed to handle 70-80(and up) and gently caress you if I'm gonna crawl my way through a 2hr drive through nowhere.

That said, I pick the furthest lane over, minimize lane changes, use signals, and match traffic if there's someone ahead. I also don't drive fast in a shitbox only designed for someone to putter to work in everyday.

this is the only thing that upsets me while driving. if you know that the left lane is for passing slower traffic and even bitch about "slowpoke idiots," then why can't you just loving move over for five seconds and let people by? you're already admitting that you also drive over the speed limit, so why does it matter just how fast they are going? if they're going faster than you just move over. you seriously must be pretty stupid if you're going to complain about someone that "drive[s] like a maniac" but also force them to "slalom around" on a two-lane highway. i mean it's either that or you know that it's stupid and you're just the biggest piece of poo poo in the thread.

like i said i don't really get upset about anything else that happens in traffic but I have an hour-and-a-half commute each way on a two-lane highway with a speed limit of around 80 and this really gets on my nerves. it's basically the only thing someone can do that will legitimately hold up traffic; you'll have self-righteous assholes like this blocking the left lane so that nobody can go and a line of cars will accumulate over ten deep but they still don't care. i started throwing change at people's windshields who do this after i finally drive past them. change or trash or empty water bottles or whatever if i don't have any change, but i prefer the change because it has the potential to crack/chip the windshield. and once i threw a 1/3 full tropical smoothie cup into someone's open widow for doing this.

I like to think I am a kind compassionate person most of the time, but when I get stuck in traffic because someone crashed their car, there can be no extenuating circumstances, no excuses, no mercy. I hope you died in that crash because otherwise your ultimate punishment will be a fate worse than death.

If there is someone coming up fast behind you in the fast lanes just let them by.

If people keep coming up fast behind you and going around and you still won't get over to the right then you're a dumbass who is causing traffic. According to the DMV one of the biggest reasons for accidents is people driving too slowly and when everyone has to go around and it disrupts the normal flow of traffic, that's you.

I used to drive to work every single day on the highway and a 2 car accident would make me at least 40 minutes late to wherever I was going.

Whenever I drove past the crash site I would always be disappointed when I saw that the idiot drivers were just standing there unhurt.

Whenever people drive too slowly in the passing lane (and it's their fault and not the fault of people in front of them) I ride their rear end, lower my windows, and blast my loudest and most obnoxious techno music. It works surprisingly often!

My favorite is in Houston they shut down 4 lanes of the 10 lane highway by blocking all the lanes off with multiple fire trucks for a minor fender bender while all the cars are still drivable.

I'm sure you are very proud of your red camaro, but a 1990 honda civic is designed to handle 70mph. How nice you think a car is has no impact on whether it can go a whole 10mph over the speed limit.

I dunno if you're just trolling the thread here but on the offchance you aren't it's actually more dangerous to pull stunts like you're doing than it is for someone to speed. In washington the past few yers cops have actually made an effort to start ticketing people inappropriately using the left lane.

I 100% believe public transit should be good and reliable. it should encourage people to not drive because everyone driving uses a lot of resources.

I moved to Columbus OH. major city with no rail system. apparently everytime a large company comes on and positions itself in an area, they choose to make alterations to the highway rather than build low income housing nearby.

Ive asked several people, admittedly higher class and they said the association of public transit and poors makes it unappealing both for personal use and for whoever dumps money here.
