This is the only thing worse than people driving while talking on their fuckin' cell phone.
It pisses me off when people think freeways are NASCAR or F1 circuits and drive recklessly while putting other people's lives in danger.
Over the past months, 4 idiots have honked at me while tailgating me closely for "driving too slow" on the freeway when I'm actually driving 5 miles per hour over the speed limit.
The 4 of them were SUV drivers... Coincidence?

Yikes! If I lived near you I might say that was probably me on your ass!! :) I drive an SUV and I tend to have a lead foot. I usually drive about 10 over on the interstate or I make sure I'm going with the flow of the rest of traffic. I NEVER ride the fast lane either. My GOD, the fast lane is for passing only, not for turds that drive 65 mph. That pisses me off more than anything, people that ride the fast lane, get out of the way or GOOOOOOO!! I am guilty of riding people's asses too. I want them to move and I won't get off their ass until they do move. Tony gets so pissed at me. Yep, I've got road rage against people that don't follow common courtesy on the roads. I am definitely guilty. As far as the cell phone thing. I have used my cell many times while driving, but I don't gab. I just use it if I absolutely have to. I'm a great mulit-tasker though. I can change a diaper, eat a whopper, and pick my nose all at once, while driving. ;)
When Cameron was about 18 months old, she was in the back in her car seat. Someone had pulled out in front of me and I had begun to realize that she was getting to the age where she repeats all of what I say. So when this person pulled out in front of me, I said, "What the!!" and didn't say what I normally would have said in this situation. Then an innocent little voice from the backseat said, "hell mommy, what the hell." I couldn't help but to laugh but it was then that I knew I had to watch my mouth.
Bad mommy.

It wasn't me man. I hate cell phones & SUV's. Although I do occasionally tailgate left lane lolligaggers if they are barely going the speed limit ... or lower.
WOW Lisser...
I think that if I met you we could be really good pals, but on the road we could be mortal enemies.
Remember, cell phones were created to come in handy when needed, and if the urge is so big that's why there are hand free devices.
Also, laws are put into action so people can obey them (which in most cases they don't). If the speed limit is 55 or 65 it means you can't go over it. It really gets on my nerves when I'm tailgaited while doing 65-70. I'm actually breaking the law for driving too fast, but some asshole thinks I'm driving too slow. What's my choice?

I always drive like 1 mph over the speed limit, why? becuase I seen what car accidents do, why is there any sence in the world just to get to you destination 5 min faster? If you need to get some where leave early.
SUV and Mini vans are my mortal combat personal on the road.

I'd probably slam on my brakes if you did that to me, especially since driving the speed limit is good, and if you go in the right lane driving too fast, and honk to get them to move, that's just rediculous. Go in the left lane and pass them like you are supposed to do.

Try driving in Manitowac or Milwaukee
What is so hard about moving over into the right lane. Hasn't anyone ever seen the following traffic sign?
Slower traffic keep right.
55 is way to slow. It should be at least 70 like it is in Michigan. In the Chicago suburbs no one drives 55. The majority drive at least 65.

lol, nice rant
I usually go 10-15 over the limit here in kansas. Theres usually no cops around this area - especially west of where I live. Sad though when your doing 85 and people still pass you.

Jake, seeing as you are not old enough to drive that is probably why your post made no sense. I said that if you ride the left lane which IS the passing lane then I would ride your ass. I wouldn't ride anyone's ass that was to the right. Slower traffic is supposed to be to the right. If you slam on your brakes then I would slam mine on and then when you took your foot off the brake, I would still be on your ass. Why would slamming on your brakes stop me? I'm trying to send you a message to get out of my way. If you didn't, then I would stay on your ass. Drive the speed limit, go with the flow of traffic, or move over. When I say I ride people's asses, it doesn't mean that I am right on their bumper. I am at a comfortable distance for me to hit my brake if someone decided to do something stupid like slam on their brakes instead of doing the right thing, getting over to let me pass. That is why we have 3-4 lanes on the interstate. The left lane is for passing and the other lanes are for slower traffic. When a person who drives slower decides to ride the fast lane, it messes up the flow. I don't drive like Mario Andretti by any means, but I also don't drive like Grandma Smith either.
How about the Autobon in Germany where there is no speed limit. They have less accidents than we do in America. What does that tell you? It has very little to do with speed and everything to do with morons who shouldn't be on the road. I could drive better at 100mph than most could at 60mph.

I don't care what any of you people say. The law says 55 (65 in some places) is the speed limit. I would say drive as fuckin' fast as you want, but there are other people's lives put on the line, and it's absolutely irresponsible to tailgate someone who is driving at 55, or which is even worse (as in my case) going 10 miles over the speed limit.
Sure, sometimes I drive 60-65, but regardless of whether someone is driving on the right, middle, or left lane, nobody has the right to push someone's buttons for following the law by the book.
It's absolutely ridiculous that there's a law written about what the speed limit is and there are people willing to aggresively taunt people who have chosen to drive safely.

I completely agree with you, Dan. I hardly think the excuse of having a lead foot is reasonable or responsible.
The speed limit is put there for a reason.

What about the traffic signs that say "slower traffic keep right"
Speed limit signs are there for a reason? Speed limits used to be at least 65, but were reduced during the 70's fuel crisis. Only Michigan and some western states have more reasonable speed limits.
