No one is not driving too slowly, seriously I don’t know what small semis and straight roads you travel but have had to travel beside a lot of double longs where they adjust their speeds. So yeah it does take a long time sometimes to get around a semi.
I am not trying to act like a cop, I am not purposely slowing down, I am not driving the speed limit to piss people off, am driving the speed limit because that is what society has deemed the speed to be. If am passing someone and you don’t like my speed, that is your issue not mine and your lack of patience is the…
Seriously, why is it that someone observing posted speed limits is going out of their way to interfere with someone else, while the person driving recklessly is simply antsy? And if you’re not being irresponsible and reckless, why worry about being pulled over?
Re-read what wrote first.
Have you ever tried to pass a double long before? also the 10km was an example only.
What does “pass in a reasonable time” amount though? that is a subjective value for every individual (unless the local government has actually put a value on it).
Wrong. The left lane is for passing not for speeding. If am in the left lane going the speed limit and still passing vehicles, I am in the right. I am not required to break the law so you can get to your destination faster. We are all to abide by the rules of the road and those rules include going the speed limit. If…
The left lane is for driving the speed limit the right lane is for driving a bit under the speed limit.
Sometimes they are weaving around assholes in the slower lane, so they have to come into the fast lane briefly. I agree that they should get the hell out of that lane after using it to pass. It used to be called, “the passing lane”. Sheer volume of traffic nowadays (I’m very old) means that both lanes will be…
Let me get this straight. The guy blowing a .19 bac, almost sideswiping, tailgating, and ultimately causing a crash is not the bigger asshole here? If he hadn’t driven impatiently in the first place, the truck driver would not have noticed him. The truck driver was only going as slow as he was in the first place…
Here’s what I do... I can’t afford a $300 speeding ticket, so I only go as fast as the limit. Period.
Some lady in her escalade was hell bent on flipping my off and running me down in my Fiesta. Came up to a light together and I gave her smile and a little wave and she flew into a rage like no other. Light turned green and she flew into my lane like a dumbass. Being nice hurts.
Well...yeah, you’re totally right. But that makes the joke less fun.
I’d like to see (enforced) per lane speed-limits. Given a three-lane highway where the nominal speed is 55, the right lane is simple “55 MPH”, the middle lane is “55 MPH, 45 MPH Minimum”, and the left lane is “60 MPH, 50 MPH minimum”
I also agree that people should not hang out in the left lane, and “it forces people to make dangerous moves trying to pass you on the right” is pure bullshit.
If you’re driving fast in the left lane and there is a slow driver in front of you, it is illegal to pass someone on the right, even if that right lane is actually a middle lane and completely empty. A cop was tailing me on the NJ Turnpike one night, high beams on and right on my @ss blinding me. I didn’t know it was…
While I do agree that slower drivers should stay to the right, it should also be noted that drivers who weave in and out of traffic are equally huge assholes. Frankly, THAT guy is the cause of the accident. Follow the flow of traffic, wait for the opportunity to go around the slow driver and THEN move on. The accident…
You might think you know the rules of the road, but misinformation can spread like wildfire. From getting out of a…
Dear Lifehacker,
I have a simple question: does speeding really get you to your destination any faster? I tend to be…
