10 over on left lane (right for UK) while the other one is free? You’re the entitled speed police asshole. He’s the dumb tailgating idiot.
10 over the other way around? You’re doing nothing wrong. He’s still the dumb tailgating idiot.
I don’t condone assholery on the road, but it’s still my license and my fine if I’m speeding up for a tailgater. So if the right lane has slow traffic and I’m overtaking on the left, I’ll stick to whatever speed on or above the limit that I consider safe. Unless the tailgater has blue lights flashing, I’m not obliged to do a damn thing.
Sure. But if you have no one in front of you, and a line of people behind you, you’re the asshole, even if you’re going 10 over. Move over and let them by.
The implication is that there is someone in the right lane that they are passing. Without running that person off the road, getting over has to wait until the pass is complete. Tailgating that person isn’t going to make that faster, just more dangerous, and if you’re doing it to me I will slow down, so it will also take longer.
Don’t drive like an entitled cunt, and these issues just magically don’t happen to you. I’ve never tailgated someone and had to deal with them slowing down, brake checking, or literally anything else, because I don’t tailgate people like an asshole.
This is true as long as they’re not actively passing traffic to the right (assuming 2 lane highway). If they are driving in traffic and actively passing cars on the right then anybody behind should not be tailgating.
No, I’m the person that lets them pass because I don’t presume to know why they’re in such a rush. Maybe pregnant wife or medical emergency. Or maybe just a dick… don’t know. Don’t care. I’m not the speed police.
The problem isn’t that you are rewarding anyone anything. You are causing traffic and safety hazards if you are forcing someone to pass on right when it’s the law in most states to use the left lane as passing only.
nobody forces someone to do anything. they CHOOSE to pass illegally in addition to speeding illegally.
i’ll eventually move over when it is safe.
and when you react during this period like a douche and roof your car from behaving like a child, guess who’s going to show up at your mva? this guy, dressed like the first responder I am. guess who’s going to remind you I have dashcam footage of your overreaction and behavior?
If I’m going at or above the speed limit then one can pass if that’s not fast enough. If they can’t pass for whatever reason: that’s their problem, not mine
- Just about every truck owner who pulls the above mentioned shit.
Bonus points for lifted, extra big wheels, and whatever other shit country music suckered them into buying. Meanwhile their truck bed has no scratches, or is covered, and the truck itself only has seen the highway. They don’t own a truck - they own a clowned up SUV and a testosterone deficiency.
So your solution to someone tailgating you while in the driving lane is to pull over into the passing lane and slow down to let them pass? Real genius…
There’s a reason for those “slower traffic move right” signs. People drive at different speeds - if the people behind want to go faster than the people in front, it’s their responsibility to let them pass, so long as there’s a safe space in another lane to do so.
Yes yes there are, but they aren’t there to appease criminals who can’t follow the rules.
Rules for thee but not for me!
There are minimum speeds laws as well, and those roads are where the slower traffic move right signs are. You are extremely unlikely to find them in city and not on highways.
They are designed because of mainly 3 types of people on the road.
traffic that is too heavily loaded to accelerate quickly enough to maintain speed due to dynamic road conditions. Typically large commercial transport and vehicles towing or hauling something.
Older vintage/classic/non-passenger vehicles that can’t or shouldn’t be traveling at the speed limit, but ARE still legal to drive on those roads
Vehicles experienced pronlems but are still drivable.
Easy fix, move over and let them by.
Lemme just pull into this lane of oncoming traffic real quick
Assumed highway. Many people think they’re the speed police. “I’m going 10mph over, that’s good enough for everyone.”
While the actual speed police said you are already over the limit
god I don’t understand speeding
Exactly… I’m breaking the law by 10mph so that’s good enough for everyone. This other guy that wants to break it by 15mph is a total asshole.
You’re not an asshole for going faster, you’re an asshole for tailgating
Situational awareness is key.
10 over on left lane (right for UK) while the other one is free? You’re the entitled speed police asshole. He’s the dumb tailgating idiot.

Yeah you are, you’re endangering yourself and those around you by traveling at an unsafe speed.
Sure. But if you have no one in front of you, and a line of people behind you, you’re the asshole, even if you’re going 10 over. Move over and let them by.
You sound like that asshole
No, I just move over and get on with my life instead of rage that someone behind me wants to get somewhere faster.

You do understand the concept of a speed limit, right?
The implication is that there is someone in the right lane that they are passing. Without running that person off the road, getting over has to wait until the pass is complete. Tailgating that person isn’t going to make that faster, just more dangerous, and if you’re doing it to me I will slow down, so it will also take longer.

no.
Not sure why all the down votes. Most states it’s the law the left lane is passing only.
So you’re the tailgating truck driver in this meme?
No, I’m the person that lets them pass because I don’t presume to know why they’re in such a rush. Maybe pregnant wife or medical emergency. Or maybe just a dick… don’t know. Don’t care. I’m not the speed police.
Lol, no, we don’t reward selfish pricks
The problem isn’t that you are rewarding anyone anything. You are causing traffic and safety hazards if you are forcing someone to pass on right when it’s the law in most states to use the left lane as passing only.
Driving a consistent speed on cruise control isn’t doing that, dumbass, it’s the guy riding your ass and trying to speed who’s made a hazard
Show me the gun I’m using to threaten them into this, or explain how I make their wheels change direction
Also: one lane roads exist & are way more common than multi lane roads for this kind of incident
nobody forces someone to do anything. they CHOOSE to pass illegally in addition to speeding illegally.

Being an undeputized speed police sounds more selfish to me. I control everyone’s speed. I am god.

No reason to move over if you are already at the speed limit. If you are over you should slow down.

We don’t have those here, going over the speed limit is illegal and if caught a few times you are banned from driving
Where that? I would love if more people had their licenses revoked in my area
Every time the circlejerk assumes the worst out of comments like these.
