why the hell not get out of his way?
You said you didn’t brake check him but you were going 50
when people come up on you like that, it means move over to the slow lane
I learned as a student driver “Always yield to the road bully”
I am surprised you didn’t get charged
Perhaps you did not see the comment...” I was turning left in about a half-mile when this happened.”
Hard to say, since I was not there, but if I plan to turn left off a highway shortly, and I’m doing 55 in the rain, I’m not moving right unless it’s an emergency vehicle.
I cannot begin to count the number of left lane blockers I’ve come across lately....they’re epidemic around here. Either they’re self-righteous nannies who are determined to set the pace for everybody else, and they give you a sneer as you pass them on the right.....or they’re weaving all over the road and yapping on a phone.
“why the hell not get out of his way?” The right thing to do.
Oh the road was really slick etc etc and other inane excuses. I’ve seen and experienced lane blockers like this who are just doing their thing at the expense of others. Courtesy may or may not be honored, but it doesn’t hurt to give way to others who’s driving style may not be like yours instead of glorying in your ability to piss people off or worse cause an accident.
You got the wrong attitude.

I know I know, reading the article is too much work.
The driver answered your question in the 3rd sentence of the posted article.
There were vehicles to her right, and she was turning left. The roads were wet, so she intelligently slowed down.
If someone going an appropriate speed for the conditions pisses you off to the extent it did for this driver, you need professional help.
I love it when an idiot wrecks his beautiful vehicle by being an a$$. As long as no one is injured (even the a$$).
Speed limit in that area is 55. She probably thinks shes improving traffic safety by using her phone and driving.
Agree.. here in The Peoples Republic of Maryland all lanes are equal and there are no passing lanes so to speak.
Washington state on some of the back roads they have signs that specifically state more than 5 cars behind you pull over or you’ll be ticketed.
And then what, help out bank robbers and rapists? There is no reason to enable habitual speeders. Bumper bulliess suck.
I miss Laz’s old tagline: “Proudly posting without reading the article since 1999!”
[b]Uh because she was passing trucks that were in the right lane[/b]
“You said you didn’t brake check him but you were going 50”
[b]It was raining, speed limits are set for good road conditions.[/b]
when people come up on you like that, it means move over to the slow lane
[b]Only if A.) They have their 4 way (hazard) flashers on, or B.) If it's an emergency vehicle with their lights and or siren on[/b]
I learned as a student driver “Always yield to the road bully”
[b]And I learned as a student driver that you adjust your speed according to the road conditions, and that you yield to emergency vehicles responding to a call, or a vehicle that has it's hazard lights flashing. As far as “road bully's” you stay calm, and move over if and when safe to do so[/b]
I am surprised you didn’t get charged
[b]Snarky comment withheld[/b]
you have the RIGHT attitude.
