Well as I've noted in other threads (LOL, here we go!) I will purposely block the left lane if I notice someone behind me driving too fast or otherwise unsafely.

I think my blocking the left lane makes the road a safer place overall, even though it pisses people off like the dickens.

10 miles over the speed limit is plenty fast enough. If you need to go faster than that, take an airplane.

Man I never really knew how bad I was ticking people off and boy it feels great. Whats really fun is when your in the left lane and you have a car to your right and then a car tail gating you. Slow down a little so the car on the right starts to pass you then watch the guy behind you jump over into their lane. Just as the car tail gating you starts to pass thinking he can get past you speed up some. Now you start passing the car on the right and the tail gater jumps back behind you. You get just far enough infront of the car to your right so the car tailgating just cannot pass then you start to slow down again. Do this over and over again and see how many times the tailgater will go back and forth or just give up.

Now that's brilliant, I have a kindred spirit. That's left lane blocking masters strategy right there!

Blocking is pretty cool in NASCAR .... if you aren't rubbing bumpers ... it isn't racing . I actually wish we could use the bumper on knuckleheads driving below the speed limit in the left lane .... I would drive more often . I agree with you Schneed , nobody should be driving over 80 mph when others are using our highways .

So do you consciously drive in the left lane all the time just to piss people off?

I thought we both had the same driving patterns the last thread we had about this. What do YOU do if someone is just cruising slow as hell in the left lane for no reason?

if you think 65 is fast enough to be in the left lane on 95 south in lorton i will be the guy in the dodge ram about 3 feet off your bumper

number 1, the left lane is for passing, if you are in the left lane and someone comes up on your rear even if you are doing 75, don't be dick get over

number 2, see number 1 and get the f out of the left lane

Do you just constantly cruise in the left lane? Do you get over after you've passed someone provided the person behind you is keeping a safe distance? If so, that's all good. As long as someone is passing, I'm A-OK. Most of the left lane drivers are so unaware of their surroundings they aren't even using cruise control and just fluctuate speed kind of like you're describing above, but not consciously. I think THAT'S what drives us all nuts.

Now, if you do that behavior on purpose, that's a real dick thing to do. I totally understand though if someone is tailgating you. I hate tailgaters myself.

Basically, my driving patterns are I go about 5-7 miles over the speed limit, I use signals every time, I never tailgate and I immediately get into the right lane after I've passed someone.

The four steps towards world peace!

Schneed -- I want to strangle you.

TMC, I agree completely. My favorite is the rolling roadblock. You get 3 people all going 45 MPH which screws up traffic royally. I was on 95S today (65MPH Speed limit for those who don't know) going 40 from Arlington most of the way to Hoodbridge. About 5 miles before Woodbridge I figured out the issue. Three cars going 45 all next to each other. I really started to understand suicide bombing at that time. If I didn't have a passenger I may have screamed ALLAH and taken out all 3 with my car in a fiery ball of victory.

No I don't. I cruise in the middle lane about 5-10 mph over the speed limit. But if I see someone on the road driving too fast or like an asshole in general, I go into road vigilante mode and do everything in my power to slow the guy down and frustrate him so bad that his whole day is ruined.

If you're ever 3 feet off my bumper, I challenge you to get around me. It will take you half an hour to find a way.
