Pretty simple concept, Van.

You are repeating what I said. I did watch the video. The SUV guy had multiple chances to move over. SUV driver was barely passing people. He could have moved over and let the faster car pass and move back into the passing lane. He is not passing people at a very fast right so move over so a faster car can go.

What the F are you talking about? I guess you follow me around town and know how I drive now? I get it, youve run out of ways to say the same thing so you deflect, trying to project shit on to me. Did you even watch the video? Were you on lsd if you did watch it?

Man this is like talking to a brick wall. Except this brick wall is saying stupid shit. There you go again, tap tap tap tap.

Lmao. You are dense. Just arguing so you can hear those keys tap away. You'll be riding down 26 one day passing a bunch of cars maybe you are doing the speed limit maybe a little over. Your passing cars that are going 5 to 8 under what you are going. So your passing at a good pace. Then someone comes up on you doing 10 over you. Your gonna say f that guy I've only got three cars to go then I'm clear. Then in the back of your head realize that you just agreed with me. But hey argue away right now.

This is what you typed. I already typed that I would move over, so no, I wouldn't agree with you.

Damn! Don't think I've ever seen Van get into it with somebody on here before! I'm that guy that's in the left lane, if I see somebody zoom up on me, they can wait until I have a decent clearing in the right lane for me to move over. If I'm in the left lane I'm usually going 10 over anyways so I don't feel bad about them waiting.

I can feel the tension!

This conversation is just me stating that I would move over after I passed the car. Robert is saying he wouldn't if he was passing people.

I'll get over dutifully to allow them to pass and what usually happens? They get up beside me or just slightly in front and STAY there. THEN I notice that I'm inevitably approaching a car from the front that I would want to pass without interrupting cruise control but there's this person in the left lane who made it clear they wanted to go faster than me (by riding my ass while I pass someone on the right, or by approaching me at a fast rate) that is simply pacing me. So...I either have to speed up (often chosen but more dangerous if I pass a cop) or hit the brakes to slow down in order to get behind them. I'm going to guess that most of these people who aggravate me are doing it unconsciously and are using their right foot as a cruise control and when they get next to someone they instinctively pace them without knowing it.

BUT, if it happens twice with the same car, then I'll refuse at that point to get over for them and will set my cruise again and stay on my course. That said, I don't camp in the left lane, but if the same car is back there "wanting to get around me" then he can do so in the right lane if I'm in the left because there are cars ahead that I will be passing.

My pet peeve too.
