Ahh, word for word it translates to Japanese. Now it all makes sense.

Or they get a little ways in front of you, and 5 minutes later you are playing this whole game again. And 98% of this time you've been on cruise control.

These drivers are also known as losers who dont know how to use cruise control...

Careful, I mentioned these assholes before and got jumped on...

If you come up behind me, I'll move over. Once.

If you have established yourself as erratic and can't hold steady speed, it will be your responsibility to get by me cleanly. If you've really annoyed me, that may be harder than you think.

Was that when the answer was to speed up to 90 for a few miles, and let them follow. When you back down to 75 -80, they'll feel like they are crawling and will probably leave you alone?

#1 those who take your blinker as a personal insult to their families and mothers.

You Shall not pass... in front of me! it is an attack on my religion to see the rear end of your car!
this may be a floridiot thing, because I remember people in NJ and NY being very pleasant and agreeable to your wishes to lane change.

#2 - Lets all hold hands, as we two / three drive in two / three lanes at the same position, and at the same FUCKING speed: Doucheteen MPH! Why not? it's not like anybody has to be anywhere to be but sitting behind our oblivious asses and looking past us at the vast stretches of glorious, virgin, open road ahead.

If your driving like an asshole behind me...and I can pace someone (or two) people in lanes next to me...I will...Why? To piss in your cheerios and make your day that much worse. I love the people that switch lanes trying to get by and then realize the lane they picked isn't gonna work so they switch back the lane they were just in and that one STILL isn't moving the way they want.

I've had people do it to me...and I've gotten frustrated because I was in a rush...If you can honestly say you have NEVER gotten angry while driving and not done any of the things listed, Well..I dont believe you.

I like how the left-lane squatters are more likely to move over if there's only 2 lanes in each direction, instead of 3 or more. It's as if they think "If there are plenty of lanes, then it's cool for me to just park in one and stay there forever"

There is the flip side of this coin. The people who sit in the right lane going slow behind a semi or other car. They sit there happily minding their own business until a car going 20 mph faster than then comes charging up the left lane ready to pass both in a hurry. Well mister right lane decides it's his moral obligation to move over to the left lane and block the left lane speeder right before the speeder passes him. 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 don't remember if it was in here but another one i hate is the shoulder drivers or those who see for 5 miles there is construction and one lane, then drive to the front so they can squeeze in.

In Toronto that happens at every on ramp, during rush hour. People even move into the on ramps from the main highway, to blast past maybe 5 cars, and then force their way back in past the end of the merge lane.

I do that all the time on my moto. I can squeeze in anywhere I want. LOL

I hate the truckers that think it's their sole purpose to block people doing that.
