Most of you guys probably know what I would do (well at least the ones that ride with me a lot), but then again I'm probably going to get shot at soon.

Slower traffic keep right..... it the law. That means when someone comes up from behind MOVE over and let them pass. If they slide off into the ditch you get to watch! Its not up to you to decide there fate.

Slower traffic keep right......

Dude, this one time I was driving down MLK in Seattle on a Saturday night. I had only lived there for a few weeks and was going to a friends house on Beacon Hill. I heard five pops from about an 1/8 of a mile away and thought it was a car back-firing. My car stereo was playing so my hearing wasn't to keen at the time. I heard the bullets whiz by and one hit the ground and ricocheted up in to the running boards of my Jetta. Now, it's possible it was a combination of a car back-firing and a rock, but all I gotta say is:

FFFFFUCK THAT! Life is to short.

Like i said, If im going 10-15MPH over the speed limit, there is no reason someone needs to be riding my ass. Thats plenty over the speeed limit. Plus i dont drive in the "slow Lane" on 26 because they fill the cracks with tar and i dont like tar on my car. Its not good for the paint, plus its a pain to get off. Im not supporting the shooters or anything like that. I just dont put up with peoples shit.


Actually this mentality is wrong in so many ways. First of all let me say that there is no reason anyone should be tailgating no matter how fast or slow the person in front of you is going.

That being said, who are you to decide if 10-15 MPH over the speed limit is the acceptable speed. If someone wants to go faster than you, you should pull over and let them by. This of course is asuming you are tooling along in the left hand lane when you aren't passing someone. I am sure you have seen the signs that say SLOWER traffic keep right? As has been said before, if someone is trying to get by you, then you are going SLOWER than they are and need to get out of the way.

I typically drive much faster than the rest of traffic, but I always try to drive in the right lane. Besides allowing for smoother traffic flow, you have much less of a chance to get pulled over if you are in the right lane. Police focus on the passing lane when looking for speeders.

Now, I also have no problem if someone tries to speed up and not let me by when I am trying to pass them. I don't get mad, I just call the police. That type of passive agressive behavior is not worth me getting stressed about. That is what cell phones are for.
