When I am driving, I am rarely in the mood to offend anyone. If I am doing 140km/h and someone wants to go faster, I will move over as soon as possible, no hard feelings.
However, I'll get pretty annoyed if I'm on the receiving end. If someone in front deliberately tries to slow me down or fails to yield or use an object called a mirror (standard equipment on vehicles!), I get pretty short. In derestricted zones this will happen at times; I realise that 160km/h isn't exactly permissible but if there's room in the right lane, please just move over. Thanks.  |
policing the policy is the domain of the police - i usually stay right, and pass left, if, for some reason i have two cars passing me on the right, it means i am too slow, so i move right. I can read, i know what the posted limit is, and usually do not need a reminder of the speed limit from the motoring public, with uncalibrated speedometer, and a rolling road block.
If i am on a single lane, and the guy in front of is doing speed limit, or above, i will just take it (unless i have a medical emergency, then all bets are off). If the same guy, in the single lane is going under the limit with no obvious road hazards (no rain, no snow), then I might lose the patience.
Two lane traffic - the rule of thumb is, if there is adequate space on the right, the car should be on the right, even if it goes twice the limit. If the car is on the left and still passing the cars on the right, no problem, i will follow. if the car is on the left, just cruising, not really passing anyone ("do you have Grey Poupon?" in motion) it gets under my skin...
but, if i am going 90 MPH, passing cars and someone is on my tail, like i am not passing the others fast enough - that can drive me crazy too... still, not enough to flip a bird or wave at them - just getting pissed off silently...lol...
