If you are tailgating them, you are the one in the wrong. While they should not be going slow in the fast lane, your tailgating is the real problem. Drive safely, and do not try to force people to get out of your way.

At what gas price would you start taking the train, the bus, ride a bike, or walk instead of driving your car?

For one they are not abiding by the law (or don't know the law) (in the US) KEEP RIGHT EXCEPT TO PASS! Second they just don't care about common road (driving) courtesy, again stay right except to pass. Technically if they were observed staying in the left lane for no reason by a patrolman, they could be ticketed, but it is a law that most officers either ignore or don't bother enforcing too often.

how bad is the traffic in sheffield on a saturday?


I sympatize with your frustration, but no amount of tailgating will get rid of the little old lady in the left lane.... learn to live with it.

OH, it's a jolly holiday with Mary.......... Discuss?

Some will move out of the way; they're just distracted until someone reminds them where they belong. Some will even slow down to annoy you because you annoyed them first with your childish tailgating. There is nothing you can do but passing to the right or staying behind them until they do otherwise. Their reasoning is- "The speed limit" means "Maximum limit", NOT "Minimum limit". Sure, they're breaking the law by going slow on the fast lane but so are you for speeding.

Being in the "fast lane" does not give you permission to speed. I would bet that the person in the fast lane holding you up is going the speed limit. You have no right to speed under any conditions, grow up or get off the road.

Do Americans drive worse than other countries? Why?

They are going slower than you but still faster than the cars and trucks in the other lanes. It is illegal for them to go over the speed limit to get out of your way as fast as you want them to. Once they get beyond the slower-moving vehicles, they will move over to let you waste your gas when you floor it.

taking my road test?

Here's a tip - when approaching a car ahead - quickly flick the high beams just twice while you're still at a distance, this will alert the person in front of you to notice you politely and give them ample time to change lanes as they feel it is safe. Not everyone checks their mirrors as often as they should.

I need a company that I can hire to pick up a stepvan I bought from Los Angeles and deliver it to me in SF?


Don't charge up on someone assuming that other drivers check their mirror all the time. It'll rudely suprise someone by suddenly appearing on there bumper and either cause panic or anger as a response.

Gas Mileage for a Uhaul...?

I drive the speed limit in the fast lane and will even slow down if my exit ramp is to the left. I got a ticket once for exiting the highway too fast. I also slow down if someone is flickering their lights at me because I want to see if they are law enforcement or just being rude. If they are law enforcement I pull over until they pass or unless they might want to talk to me. If they are not law enforcement and just being rude I slow down and just stay in my lane because my truck is usually bigger than their car and changing lanes is dangerous enough without accommodating some idiot who cannot control his own car.

What do you think a good price for gas should be nowadays?

Just because a car is going slower than you doesn't mean they don't belong in the "fast lane". If they're moving faster than the speed limit and faster than the cars in the other lanes than you should move to go aroung them. And if you tailgate me I simply slow down more.

where can I get a interstate bus schedule for Juarez Mexico?

I'm one of the obnoxious drivers people hate. They tailgate me, I wave in the mirror to get back to a safe following distance. They persist, I wave again. They persist, I slow down. They persist, I turn on my flashers.

That said, let me explain. I drive typically at 75-80 in a 65. I know, fast. I also drive in the right lane except to pass, even in states with that not as the law (such as the state in which I presently live). So, I travel in the left lane to pass people.

why don't people understand?


OK -- with that scenario, why do you think I might be in the left lane to begin with? Yes, to pass slower vehicles in the right lane. As soon as I pass them, I jump right back into that lane.

I'm lookging for a gps monitoring system to track my kids driving speed?


However, there are always yahoos who are exceeding my already excessive speed and just want me clear out of the way, even when I cannot yield to the right. I drive little cars, so the impediment (i.e., a driver in front of me or a long line of slower vehicles in the right lane) is quite visible to those who have eyes. Why they begin to tailgate me is quite obvious -- they want me to get out of their way.

what is hte bus route in Bakerfield from Niles and Fairfax to Haley off of Columbus Street?


You know, while I drive fast, I refuse to drive stupid. I'm not going over my max of 80 (and there are many out there who think 80 is stupid, anyway). I'm also not about to merge into the right lane to allow you to tailgate the driver who was previously in front of me whom I was patiently waiting to pass ... so what to do?

Why are gas prices on the rise again ?


We can't fight the idiots out there. It's about 10% of the population. And we can't fight the numbskull-ness of kids - that's about 15% of drivers. However, for those who can do reasoned thinking, think about what tailgating is about. Think about the drivers out there who ARE considerate, who DO move over ... but also think about why they might not be moving over for you right now. I always wave whenever someone moves over in front of me with no provocation -- that person was being considerate and thoughtful. I never tailgate - instead, I am a thoughtful driver who thinks about motivations of others to understand why things happen. I encourage tailgaters to do the same.
