...if you have one of those "How's my driving?" stickers on your vehicle. I was coming home from work yesterday morning, and had some moron in a DirecTV van come flying up behind me and ride my tailgate for about a mile. He was so close I couldn't see his headlights in my rearview. Then he blows by me at about 70 (in a 55) and I watch him repeat the process with a car up ahead of me. When we get into the city, I pull up behind him at a light and notice the sticker. When I got home, I made a phone call and had a nice chat with one of the reps. I understand DirecTV is very strict about driving complaints. Moron.

Sorry! I had to get an install done.

:-) My pet peeve are the right lane passers on the freeway, flying along until they get to merging traffic, then they force their way over to the middle lane. Or the ones who insist on staying in the left lane right alongside me, with no traffic in front of either of us. Just recently I had someone doing just that. I speed up, so do they, I slow down, so do they until finally they get away from me and take off like a maniac down the road, only to get pulled over by the police about 2 miles down the road. Ahhh haaaaaa!!!!

Good for you Jeff. I leave near a NASCAR track. It seems half the population has a #8 sticker on their cars and trucks. Apparently they think speed limits and stop signs are only suggestions.

And mine are the people who putt along 10-20 MPH under the speed limit in the left lane. If you're going to drive slow, stay in the right lane.

Slow traffic move over. It'll take a few seconds to move over and you can both be on your merry way.

I've been noticing that with higher gas prices now, there have been a a lot of times where people seem to be running some sort of rolling road block on the freeways. 70 MPH limit, and all three lanes are occupied by people doing only 50 to 55, with a huge gap of about a quarter mile in front of them. And they like to try to keep people from passing, too. If a gap forms, they speed up to close it off. Then you have a traffic jam forming behind this, with people jockeying around trying to get around it, or trying to get to the right to exit.

And if you are going to drive fast,
stay in the right lane. Unless you are passing.
That is what the left lane is for.

Exactly. Some people are just in love with that left lane for some reason. I drive in it as little as possible, you know, to let people with lead feet pass, and to let officers of the law easily catch up to said people with lead feet.
