Then mister right lane takes an hour to pass the car that was in front of him to further piss off left lane speeder.

If I am traveling faster than traffic, I will typically not let anyone in. I am moving faster than you, I am passing. You are slow, you need to be in the right lane so I can pass. If you are traveling faster than me, I have no issues getting right and letting you by.

I'll second that.

So what I'm getting from this thread is, we reserve the right to do the same things that we complain about others doing.

Pretty much, people complain, but they do stupid shit on the road too.

I break every courtesy in the drivers handbook when I am on my moto. I don't do it in my new truck 90% of the time, mainly cause it's slow and big.

I hate the truckers that think it's their sole purpose to block people doing that.
They have to do that. If they don't, and you get by them only to be squashed into dog food, then it's on them.

The driver I hate almost a much as the ”mouth breather” is the driver that believes it's their mission to teach everyone else on the road a lesson. Fuck off, you aren't that good of a driver.....

I am not talking about cutting them off. I am talking the ones that are blocking 5 miles away from the merge point. If you pass them, you have open sailing to the merge point. LOL On a bike it's easy to just accelerate around them and merge at the must merge point. I don't like to wait in line on a bike. Clutch hand gets tired after awhile and I can merge anywhere I want aka lane split into the spot I want, LOL.

Jeez man, you know nothing about a tired clutch hand. Rush hour in Chattanooga is like 3:00am on a Saturday morning, on The Gardiner Expressway. With all the work-out my clutch hand gets if I whack off, I'll end up castrating myself.

That's probably a mental image none of us really needed.
