Another Jacka$$ tried to race me...

This time a guy in a 95 Accord w/ a loud, shiny exhaust tried to race me on the interstate. As I came up behind him in the left lane, he gradually started to speed up but wouldn't move over. So when I got a chance to pass him in the middle lane, I took it. I wasn't even gunning it when I hear his exhaust start roaring. But I guess that exhaust just wasn't enough as I just easily cruised by. What could he have been thinking.

I think you should change your name to "RaceMe" or Come-and-get-it"

True, he may not have realized you were that much faster, or like Ruf has said, maybe he thought he had better driving skills.

How dare he tried to race a TL-S!?
Again, some slower cars aren't "normally aspirated" !! Unfortunately, his was

What's wrong with it is that I was just trying to pass and he, it would seem, didn't want to let me. Therefore, in my book, he's a jacka$$.

He's probably what you'd call "the road moderator", the one who has decided that no one should go faster than them, and has put up the moral roadblock, so you don't do something foolish.

I don't call those guy's "the road moderator", I call them A$$holes!! I'm not condoning speeding but the left lane IS the passing lane. I just don't understand the mentality behind these people who stay in front but when you get a chance to pass, they speed up to block you etc. Why!?! Limited mentality I guess.
But dam, they're not as bad as the king of all A$$', the one's who BACK UP on the right lane because they missed the exit!!!! These people should lose their licenses, I wish they get caught doing that $hit. Some people have no respect for the safety of other's. No conscience and no common sense. It's a scary world we live in.

It is amazing what a tailpipe the size of a gas main and a little Slick-50 will do for the imagination of some demented and tortured souls...

Based on how he jacked around with RoadRage that's what would qualify him for that title.

If you want to run someone don't be a jerk about it like that guy was.

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH TUFF-GONG...

people nowadays...who drive like turtles...on the left, fast lane...would just cruise on..during traffic time....and make thousands and thousands of cars...get stuck behind him and not let everyone get through.....it's these cars that starts traffics...

everyone can't stand people passing them..and they don't care people behind them...thinking they are the king of the road.....a$$oles

What i usually do is...i find gap and then get in front of him...and hit hazard light on....signaling him to look behind him or her.

Sometimes i feel like i'm a traffic officer or somethin

people should leearn to drive...and keep the traffic open and moving...if u want to drive slow...move to right lane...and if more than 5 cars piled up behind 1......people....past that slowpoke...sheshh.....
