:iagree:

Or the people who speed up when you have just moved over to the other lane to pass them!!!

r6girl: yeah..I. have a lowered 325is and when I drive that car for a while and then go back to the X5...it's a totally different perspective! Once, as I pulled out of my garage, I hit the car on the driveway because I did not see it - on the X5 you sit way up -the other car was just out of the line of sight (or I am too dumb when backing up;) ) I think my wife will agree with the last point.

"Or the people who speed up when you have just moved over to the other lane to pass them!!!"

I must say that nothing makes me madder than when your in traffic in the third lane and the jerk behind you tried to get around you. I speed up every time!
Some people think that their are special, they need to wait and follow the traffic just like the rest of the world.

that is why I use the shoulder I am not a big fan of waiting in traffic

Well, I am special, aren't you!;)


All "jokes aside"

I understand - but, not if the guy infront is going slower than the rest of traffic just because! You know those people....then, you try to around them and they speed up. I do not mean, I want to pass everyone just to get ahead.

I find that I leave at least a car length between me and the next car, seems to be a open invitation for the jerk to try and get around. When the road is open I am more than happy to move over but when your in stop and go traffic sit back and wait your turn.

In IL, where I am, it is illegal to hog the left lane for more than a half mile...You can be fined up to 79 bucks, but I've never seen a copper go after a left lane hogger. I try not to use the far left lane for more than a mile or two. In non-peak times, I will occasionaly see a Jetta or Civic fly by at like 80mph, thinking the left lane lets them go faster than the limit...:rofl:

A lotta places have signs telling you to use the left lane for passing only, but it never works. In Canada, people always stay right and allow others to pass on the left. In upstate NY, it worked pretty well too. But around here and the NJ Turnpike? forget it. :thumbdown

I always follow the "stay right, pass left" rule when possible. However, my dad does not. Funny how he's the one that got a verbal warning up in Quebec.:rolleyes:

Around the NY Metro area no one does anthing unless something is it for them.

I have had this happen... I don't have any problems flooring it and leaving them in the dust!. ;)

That's provided there's no car in front of you!
