I'm sure tens of thousands of people say "some idiot (or a less polite name) came up behind me flashing their lights" every single day. Perhaps it's an age thing because this whole "flash to pass" is still relatively new and older drivers generally aren't in a big hurry. Still, I wouldn't be surprised if most drivers…

The rule of the road is the posted speed limit. I often exceed and so do others, but that's the rule of the road and the rest are just courtesies that one driver extends to another. Flashing lights has no legal meaning, it's on no driver's test or in any driving manual, it's just something some aggressive drivers…

Thanks. That's what I've been trying to say.

ETA (PS): If I'm pushing my cart through the grocery and the person in front of me is going slower, I don't grunt "move" and if I'm approaching a slower shopper, I don't wave my arms to get their attention. I'm sure, if someone were to do either to you, you'd also think they're rude.

It may be a reaction rooted more with age, but I don't know how many times I've heard the phrasing "some idiot come up behind flashing their lights", so it's not just me.

I pretty much don't agree with the stance taken by this post. It assumes that all kids are the same and if some have had problems, they're all going to have problems and as a parent who knows my kids and their friends, I know that's not the case.

Thanks for sharing the video, but I suspect you wanted to put it as a standalone comment because I don't see how it applies to me.

Their car is not invisible and most people consider it an aggressive measure.

Yeah, the most generous reading of that document says 8 to 10 have a defined passing lane, everywhere else it's a variation of "slower traffic keep right".

That chart shows that the "passing lane" is defined in only a handful of states.

"Flash to pass" is aggressive. It's not like the approaching car is invisible, the flash is a "hey, get out of my way" and I'm sure most people react negatively. I know if someone does it to me, I'll sometimes wave, but the more they do it, the less likely I'll get out of their way.

How far I drive a year varies, depending on where I'm living at the time, but what all these statistics means is that we've both found something that works for us. I doubt anybody is annoyed by the way I drive because unless they're being an asshole or we're in a somewhat congested area and the traffic on the right is…

Perhaps by a dictionary definition, the cars in the second lane are passing the lane with local traffic in an urban setting and the cars in the third lane are passing the second, but what's really happening is that we're all in our lanes and we're driving with the flow of traffic. If there is "passing", it's more…

It sounds like we're saying much the same thing, except I'll generally only get over when I see someone coming up behind me at a higher rate of speed and when I feel like it.

Slower drivers should keep to the right. Everyone on the Mass Pike, The DC Beltway, I-40 through Albuquerque or pretty much anyplace there are cars aren't supposed to all be in the right lane, unless they're currently and actively going around someone at that minute.

Unless I'm in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night, I generally stay in the left lane. It's harder on my car and on me to have to swing out every time I want to pass and I really don't like it, when I'd like to pass someone, but I can't safely get over to the left because there's someone doing one or two…

While it may not be what people mean by "service" or "app", I've had the Gumbopages list of "Non-Commercial Radio Stations around North America and the World" bookmarked for about a decade. From this comprehensive list, I've compiled my own selection of streaming stations and every year or so, I'll glance back over it…

Keeping with my debunk theme. It's a self-published book that is printed on demand by Lulu. You could write one yourself this afternoon, have it on Amazon in a couple of days, then Lulu will print and ship a copy if someone ever places an order. Easy as pie.

I'm sure everyone has the best intentions, but on his website's "radio" page, he boasts "dozens of viewers and listeners" and though it's understandable to want to take him to school, all the publicity is raising his profile. Sure, he may have interviewed a candidate and (post-candidate?) Herman Cain may have spoken…

It's on internet radio. Anybody can do it because it isn't real.
