F...Left Lane Drivers

I'll use the other slower cars in lanes to my right, match their speed to block. If they change their speed, I change to match.

This is a total rehash of the other thread which is pointless, but it's still funny. Like will I block someone going 65 in a 55? No. Will I block a huge line of cars who want to go with the flow of traffic in the left lane going 75 in a 65? No. But I'll block that one standout person who's driving more aggressively or much faster than the rest of the crowd on the roadway. It's not the same thing as a grandpa cruising the left lane at 45 with his blinker on. It's a conscious decision to make what I feel is a positive impact on the roadway.

Now to avoid a bunch of flaming posts coming my way, let me preemptively say this:

- I don't care what you think about it.
- I don't care what you think cops would say about it.
- I feel much safer on the road doing this than I do letting some maniac weave in an out of lanes up ahead of me.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII see now. THAT's what I remember. And a driving plan I can get behind.
