Drivers giving you dirty looks
I'm getting fed up with these stupid fucks giving me dirty looks for doing the limit as they pass me. I sometimes even do 10 over and still get dirty looks from douchebags in Civics or some other car that isn't even fast.

Are you in the fast lane when this happens? I bet you are.
If so you deserve the dirty looks. The fast lane is for passing, no matter if YOU are going the speed limit or faster, you must get over to let the even faster guy pass.

I give dirty looks to morons who hog the left lane. Especially Prius drivers doing 50 in a 65.

Its like they have to make up for the fact they drive a prius by acting like its a race car...Which more than likely gets them shit mpg for that car and makes them look like retards.

About a year ago I was using the fast lane in an appropriate manner when this car runs right up on me. I probably could have moved over a little sooner but got out of the way regardless. Dude in a prius with his middle finger up. It was actually kind of funny.

And while we're at it, speed up to close the gap when you see my turn signal come on? I'm coming anyway - you speeding up tells me that you see me.

You're being a bit too idealistic to put it nicely.

2) I dont care what speed you were going...if someone behind you wants to go faster you ARE IN FACT SLOWING THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC. And BY LAW you have to get the fuck over and let them pass, doesnt matter if they are going 40 over the limit...LEGALLY you HAVE to get over.
Quit arguing, grow up and learn a little.

We have that same problem in Boston. I swear Prius drivers are some of the worst on the road. It's like a Napoleon complex...

Tailgate? Buddy, I'm dusting the mud off my front plate with your bumper. Drafting like I'm in the Daytona 500 is more like it.

They aren't too big of a problem here. I get annoyed with the older guys who buy the 6.3mbz turbo shit and then granny the car everywhere. I understand the idea of driving comfortably, but you don't need 600hp to go slow.

The far passing lane is meant for one thing, passing. Not to Sunday drive while doing the speed limit as it's the lane of least resistance to you.

If you attempt to pass a Prius in the right hand land (after several high beam flashes) they 'attempt' to accelerate and cut you off.

It really is amazing to me how many people think/drive like the OP. Im glad here in MO/IL they're starting to crack down on this. Driving in the left lane has nothing to with the speedlimit. Even those who cruise at 70+ should be going in and out of the left lane as they pass (safely).

You're one of those people that thinks its your God given right to just block up the left lane and piss everybody off aren't you? You want people to stop giving you dirty looks? Get the fuck out of the passing lane!
Oh yeah...don't go to Germany. Your ass will get arrested for driving like that.

If someone is tailgating you, pull to the right and let them pass or shut up and stop bitching. You'll receive no sympathy from Azine for not understanding the rules of the road.
FYI, if someones tailgating you in the left lane, you are slowing down the flow of traffic, if you weren't, they wouldn't be tailgating you.

Whether or not I have gotten speeding tickets has nothing with the fact that you dont know the law when driving.
A cop can give YOU a ticket for slowing down traffic in that manner.
Educate yourself, since your parents obviously did not when you learned how to drive...sad that is 95% of the case nowadays.

- Ehh, depends on how much traffic there is in other lanes. I have a problem with people weaving because it is somewhat unpredictable. That said, people don't need to park in the left lane.
It is the worst on the 5 down to LA

I love it when drivers have to get in front of everyone so they zig zag in and out of lanes while I stay in my one lane, then a couple miles later they get boxed in behind a slow car and I pass them, then I look over and them and smile and say to myself "hahaah fucking idiot"
