LOCKED - OT: Driving on the highway

What is it with Trolls(TM) anyway? I just don't get the mentality that gets their kicks by intentionally pissing off other people...

Anyway, congrats D61! You are now officially the 2nd poster, ever, on SPS that's earned a spot in my killfile.

Have a nice day.

If you and I are doing the same speed you and I aren't ever in this scenario with each other ever. It's actually safer for both drivers for me to correctly assume the aggressive 85 mph driver behind me will pass on the right instead of both of us then moving to the right at the same time as they are speeding up. I say it's correct because the aggressive driver passes on the right 100% of the time.

This is the dumbest thing ever written on SixPackSpeak.

Please turn in your license and stop driving immediately.

 

[Drebin]

Well I disagree when it is at night and the interstate is filled with semis. I wouldn't of brought this to the board if it had been the middle of day but when it is at night and there's huge semis going 73 mph to my right and I've got an ******* on my bumper in his truck shining his brights in my mirrors wanting to go 85 mph it is an aggressive dangerous situation and I don't need to cede the left lane to him while I am actively passing other vehicles and considering he's breaking several laws.

This isn't an "agree to disagree" scenario. You are just wrong and need to change your behavior. Someone who stays in the left lane and slows down other traffic is unnecessarily creating a safety risk, and is BREAKING THE LAW. *******. It's an aggressive dangerous situation that YOU ARE CREATING by being in the left lane. *******.

 

[Drebin]

I have a lot of respect for truckers and look out for them more than most.

My big issue with them is when a truck going 68 tries to pass a truck going 67 and jams up the left lane for five miles in moderate to heavy traffic. If the speed difference is drastic, then by all means, pass. But if the speeds are similar, just chill and ride in the right lane until traffic clears in the left lane.

My other issue is if I see a row of trucks and move over to the left lane to pass them at 80, and then one of them decides they want to pass the other and pulls out in front of me, causing me to brake.

Those two issues happen a lot, and it's probably indicative of lower quality drivers than anything else, but it is frustrating.

Oh that's interesting because I've gotten a ticket for driving 75 mph before but I've never gotten a ticket for being in the left lane so I'll stay at my 78 mph as I am actively passing other vehicles at a decent speed and you can pound on your steering wheel and be all pissed off about it. Your welcome.

If a wreck occurs you will get a ticket because you created the situation that caused the wreck. Stop being dense.

The last time you posted something this stupid it had to do with Tim Tebow getting called up by the Mets.

 

[RutherfordBHayes]

I’ll just add that different states’ HPs seem to have different ideas on how lenient they are on speed.

Mississippi HP seem to allow 80/82 no problem.
(Just show the man some respect, though. Don’t pass him!)

Florida & Alabama are less lenient.

Arkansas seems to be the least lenient around here. I think you’ll get a ticket for 82.

I think Texas would allow us to use the PIT maneuver on this jack wagon.

Bro what part of I am actively passing vehicles to my right do you not understand? I am not the one that would be creating a wreck. That would be the ******* behind me that isn't patient enough to left me pass vehicles at 78 mph. Again Highway Patrol has ticketed me for driving at a speed less than that before.

There is no such thing as a perpetual nose to tail line of traffic in the right lane. There are always breaks. If you you have people on your *** and you can get over, even if it means you need to slow down to do so, get your *** over. It's the law, and if a wreck occurs because you didn't, your *** is getting a ticket.

I keep saying that I can't believe anyone would argue these points. Then I remember who I'm talking to.

You’ve already said that you won’t get out of the way even when the opportunity presents itself. You even said he can pass you on the right.
Just take the L.

[BoomBoom.sixpack]

This has been repeated multiple times but going 78 has literally nothing to do with the situation. The left lane is for actively passing traffic. You are going slower than traffic behind you so at your next safe opportunity you should move to the left so they can pas. Multiple studies have shown that it is much safer for you to move over than to have the faster traffic weave in and out of the passing lane.

This is something I’ve always wondered. When someone comes here and is obviously proven incorrect in their behavior/opinion or that almost no one agrees with them, what happens?

I guess they either see the error in their ways and change or continue on thinking they are right and everyone else is wrong. I’m sensing from the replies that you will do the former. But for the sake of your safety and other drivers around you I hope you adjust.

The problem here is he has stated he is continuously passing slower traffic on the right. Many commenters respond as if he isnt.

Neither he nor I should have to slow down in the right lane and "wait our turn" to pass just because some selfish ******* thinks they own the road and they come first. If you are the faster traffic and are there first, you pass on the left. I dont care if you are going 1mph faster. When you've passed, you get back on the right. If it's multiple cars/trucks, you keep passing. If you are faster traffic than that and are behind him, wait your damn turn like an adult. If someone is slow in the grocery check out line do you bump their cart and shine a light at them? *******, wait your turn. And yes, I AM intentionally blocking you after you tailgated me, *******.

No, the law does not cede the left lane to speeding traffic.

 

[engie]

If the car behind you has enough space to pass you to your right -- you had more than enough room to get your *** over and let them pass. You are not "actively passing cars to your right" if there is ever enough space for them to pull off that maneuver. Everyone gets it, you are an *** hole who gets his jollies from managing to find viewpoints that you can't find a single like-minded idiot to actually come out and agree with. But count me amazed that you are apparently just as big of idiot in real life as you pretend to be on sixpack...

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

But on a busy road like I40 there’s Never going to be an opportunity where you can pass without blocking traffic at least for a few minutes. You also have to remember that these truck drivers are E-logging And when their 10 hours of driving are up the truck is going to shut down whereever they are so they have to get somewhere in a timely manner so that they don’t run out of time on their E-log.

 

[engie]

If this were true, how do the "********" behind him keep passing him to his right?

Your response says all that’s needed to be said.

Understood. I get it. I just don't want them blocking me. **

 

[BoomBoom.sixpack]

Shooting tiny gaps that, if he merged into them, would require him to slow down and wait.

That's seems to be the gist: he should have to slow down and wait, not me, because I'm a special snowflake that owns the road.

 

[DAWG61]

If this were true, how do the "********" behind him keep passing him to his right?

Because they are all dangerously passing in small pockets of space speeding up to the vehicle on the right's bumper and then passing me on the left. I brought this to the board because it was a whole bunch of them all driving the same dangerous way. I suspect because they were all going to the MSU/Tennessee game and didn't want to be late. I was also going to the game and was in my seat 20 minutes before tip.

Thank you, it's really not that complicated. I figured I would find the same mentality on this board that I was finding on the road two nights ago and I am right.

None of them would be doing that and putting everyone's lives in danger in the process if you'd just simply get your *** over. If they have room to pass you have more than enough room to get over because they need more room to pass than you do to get over.

aGAIN - you are creating the issue by being in the left lane.....you are bitching about scenarios that you are creating because you don't know how to drive on a highway.

Nothing is less complicated than "slower traffic keep right."

As Boom stated much better than me. I don't have to get over. I am here first and I am actively passing other vehicles. Eat **** if you think I should be passing them faster than I already am. When I deem the space on the right large enough for me to move over without having to slow down I'll let the guy behind me have the left lane but not a second before then as I am continuously passing vehicles to my right.

On another note, just eat **** in general you 17ing dicksucker. Talk to me with respect on this board and you'll get it in return.

 

[patdog]

Lol so at what speed is it no longer necessary for you to move over at? 100mph? For me it's at 78 mph.

Wrong. The speed where it's no longer necessary for you to move over is faster than the car behind you. That's what the law says. Could be 58. Could be 108.

 

[Thirty-Two Dive]

YOU would KICK ***, on the Autobahn!!

 

[hoopscoach21]

Yep answered my question from earlier about being proven wrong. Obviously the OP is set in his ways. This has been posted before but I'll post it again. Maybe someone not so arrogant to think they can't be wrong will find this informative and make themselves a safer driver.

 

[engie]

"shoot tiny gaps"? That are large enough for a car to safely get in front of the vehicle to your right rear, go around you in the right lane, and merge back into the left lane BEFORE they reach the vehicle to your front right and have to slam on brakes? That's not a tiny friggin gap. I'd do some math for you to establish the minimum distance needed to accomplish this(a LOT of friggin room) -- but the viewpoint is too 17n stupid for me to bother actually putting the thought into. The room needed to do that is PLENTY for 61 to merge right, let the car pass, and pull back left, without ever tapping off his cruise control. Made obvious via the timeframes necessary to perform the maneuvers.

And let's be real -- when you are already this ******* -- you are going to speed up when the other car gets into the right lane to pass your *** -- in order to prevent them from doing so, forcing them to brake into the pace of the right lane of traffic before falling in line behind you again.

Good to see your next username already teed up and ready to go, 61.

 

[Dawgzilla]

This is usually the result of texting and driving.

 

[DAWG61]

Wrong. The speed where it's no longer necessary for you to move over is faster than the car behind you. That's what the law says. Could be 58. Could be 108.

Read the drivers manual again. Again I am here first, wait your turn to pass bud. Sorry there's 400 semis on the right side and it'll take me awhile to pass all of them but I'm not the reason the interstate is flooded with traffic. Be mad it's busy but wait your damn turn. I'll pass them when I pass them. Driving at 78 mph to pass a vehicle on my right is actually still breaking the law but not enforced but driving 108 mph to pass the vehicle on my right is breaking the law at a reckless speed and will most definitely get enforced.

Yep answered my question from earlier about being proven wrong. Obviously the OP is set in his ways. This has been posted before but I'll post it again. Maybe someone not so arrogant to think they can't be wrong will find this informative and make themselves a safer driver.

Problem with this is I am not driving slowly. I am driving 8 mph over the limit while actively passing vehicles.

"shoot tiny gaps"? That are large enough for a car to safely go around you in the right lane? That's not a tiny friggin gap!

Good to see your next username already teed up ahead of time, 61.

Your new username should be "Lil EnGine" or "Lil Napoleon's" cause you're a little person

You don't deserve respect. You're an idiot. You deserve to be institutionalized.

And if I'm behind you with my grill guard and my wench, I'm moving your *** out of the way, or at least I'm passing you on the right and getting in front of you and causing you trouble. You would be asking for it, after all.

 

[patdog]

YOU would KICK ***, on the Autobahn!!

He would lose his license doing that **** on the Autobahn. Seriously.

 

[engie]

Thanks, but I'll just keep the one I have, as I always have.

You seem size-obsessive, while driving like an unobstructed *******. Methinks your(incorrect) criticism sits too close to home.

 

[Arnold Babar.sixpack]

He would 17ing kill someone on the Autobahn. Seriously. But he would be in his prison cell screaming at the prison guards that " he was there first"!!!!!! The issue is so cut and dry simple that I really think 61 needs to be in rubber room in straight jacket. He's clearly a danger to himself and others.

 

[DAWG61]

He would lose his license doing that **** on the Autobahn. Seriously.

I wouldn't drive 78 mph on the autobahn because the speed limit isn't 70mph. Want me to drive 85mph in America make the speed limit 80mph.

 

[DAWG61]

And if I'm behind you with my grill guard and my wench, I'm moving your *** out of the way, or at least I'm passing you on the right and getting in front of you and causing you trouble. You would be asking for it, after all.

There's apparently no room for him to put on his blinker and move to the right, but there IS enough room for some one to pass him on the right. So, that means at bare MINIMUM there's a three car length gap to his right.
