F...Left Lane Drivers

I think my blocking the left lane makes the road a safer place overall, even though it pisses people off like the dickens.

10 miles over the speed limit is plenty fast enough. If you need to go faster than that, take an airplane.

So do you consciously drive in the left lane all the time just to piss people off?

I thought we both had the same driving patterns the last thread we had about this. What do YOU do if someone is just cruising slow as hell in the left lane for no reason?

No I don't. I cruise in the middle lane about 5-10 mph over the speed limit. But if I see someone on the road driving too fast or like an asshole in general, I go into road vigilante mode and do everything in my power to slow the guy down and frustrate him so bad that his whole day is ruined.

if you think 65 is fast enough to be in the left lane on 95 south in lorton i will be the guy in the dodge ram about 3 feet off your bumper

number 1, the left lane is for passing, if you are in the left lane and someone comes up on your rear even if you are doing 75, don't be dick get over

number 2, see number 1 and get the f out of the left lane

If you're ever 3 feet off my bumper, I challenge you to get around me. It will take you half an hour to find a way.

LOL @ this thread. Here we go again.

I can summarize for everyone and we can just lock this:

Schneed plays pseudo traffic cop, other people don't like it, he doesn't care, and he'll gladly kick your ass at the next rest stop if you don't like it.

In the other thread I was against what he does and I still am, and I'm pretty sure most cops out there would tell him to leave it to those qualified to enforce the laws of the road.

But hey, he's an asshole and it's his perogative.

LOL pretty much.

So you would switch lanes repeatedly to keep this person behind you? If so, it's amazing that you think that's safer than just letting the person speed.

Man, I don't want to get sucked into this thread, but it's just so maddening.

Lane changes aren't the best way to block. If a guy's right on your bumper, and he switches lanes to pass, he's pretty much already around you and it's a done deal.

I'll use the other slower cars in lanes to my right, match their speed to block. If they change their speed, I change to match.

This is a total rehash of the other thread which is pointless, but it's still funny. Like will I block someone going 65 in a 55? No. Will I block a huge line of cars who want to go with the flow of traffic in the left lane going 75 in a 65? No. But I'll block that one standout person who's driving more aggressively or much faster than the rest of the crowd on the roadway. It's not the same thing as a grandpa cruising the left lane at 45 with his blinker on. It's a conscious decision to make what I feel is a positive impact on the roadway.

Now to avoid a bunch of flaming posts coming my way, let me preemptively say this:

- I don't care what you think about it.
- I don't care what you think cops would say about it.
- I feel much safer on the road doing this than I do letting some maniac weave in an out of lanes up ahead of me.

So do you feel entitled to get on someone's ass if say they're passing a row of slow moving traffic in the right lane at a decent speed? If I'm passing a row of slow cars going 75 in a 65 and you want to drive 85, does that mean you would get on my ass to pass them faster?

Schneed -- I want to strangle you.

TMC, I agree completely. My favorite is the rolling roadblock. You get 3 people all going 45 MPH which screws up traffic royally. I was on 95S today (65MPH Speed limit for those who don't know) going 40 from Arlington most of the way to Hoodbridge. About 5 miles before Woodbridge I figured out the issue. Three cars going 45 all next to each other. I really started to understand suicide bombing at that time. If I didn't have a passenger I may have screamed ALLAH and taken out all 3 with my car in a fiery ball of victory.

"Everyone driving slower than me is driving like a granny, and everyone going faster than me needs to slow their maniac self down!" ...or however the saying goes.

I prefer driving at night (generally 10PM-6AM depending on where I'm headed). You generally have two types of vehicles on the road; 1) tractor trailers who prefer to stay out of your way, and 2) people who are focused on getting from point A to point B as fast as possible. There are no old people, soccer moms, or Schneeds in your way.

We should change this thread title to Everyone Hates Schneed, because if you didn't already hate me coming in you sure as hell will coming out!

LOL. This is funny.

If the cops were to observe your stupid ass playing some BS, childish games as you have described in traffic, their message to you will be of the.......legal variety. The ONLY service you are performing for anyone is to your own self satisfaction in......some ......wierd way.
BTW............not a hater
