I don't tailgate, I DRAFT !!! LOL...

If someone is camping in the left lane, I will high beam them if they are driving at an inappropriate speed and blocking traffic. I won't tailgate though; on the highway I feel that is too dangerous. Flashing my high beams is a clear indication of my intent, I don't need to do anything more.

And just to get this out there (I'm sure this applies to no one here): THE LEFT LANE IS NOT THE FAST LANE. IT IS THE PASSING LANE!!!! I don't care if you're doing 75mph and the road is wide open. Other people have the right to go faster, so don't be an asshole and block people's lives.

Once on I-85 south of Richmond, a trailer and 2 SUVs decide to do that stupid "parallel 70mph" thing where they block up both lanes of traffic travelling the same speed. And this went on for 10 miles, and there were 6 other people behind me clearly annoyed. I was flashing my high beams and waiting in the left lane. So when finally a gap opened up, I put my foot down, shifted right, honked my horn as I passed, and went on to 105mph before letting off. (And setting the cruise at a neat 150 km/h)

In CA, the fast lane is the left lane, of coarse our highways are 4+ lanes

Yea I drove there this past summer. It was annoyingly American. :rolleyes: But you guys drive faster than we do in the NE. Left lane on CA freeways is like 85 minimum to enter. In the NE (when there's no traffic), left lane is more like 70 to enter, and 85 is "blowing by faster than everyone else" fast.

great for gas mileage no doubt! :rofl:

Tailgaters suck...they accomplish absolutely nothing except creating unsafe roads...and are partially to blame for rising insurance costs. BACK OFF!

I LOVE CA, you guys drive SO slow

I was in the Saab :nanana: (notice "tried to speed away"-he couldn't :nanana: )

power:
I see nothing wrong with going 75mph in the left lane, if the lane to the right to me is going 60 mph, and the cars behind me are going 70 mph, but are like 1/4 of a mile behind me. If you would like to go faster than me (and usually the person in front of me), you are welcome to. But that rarely happens. When I'm out in the country, I do follow left=passing. :)

exactly!! :rofl:

+3. The guy let you know he did not like you being so closed. He did not feel comfortable with this and you should have respected that. This type of behavior can sometime lead to road rage. My opinion anyway.
