So to hell with the posted speed limit? We're enabling road-ragers by this kind of crap. Instead, throw 'em in jail for awhile, They'll be introduced to a whole different brand of rage. And in case they don't get the message, make capital punishment mandatory after the third offense, or with any road-rage offense in which they commit a capital crime.

That's the way to get serious about road rage, not this garbage of penalizing other drivers for legal actions on the highways.

NOTE: I'm more than half-serious about this. Maybe I'd be willing to compromise on the mandatory death penalty after three offenses. Reduce that to 20 years in prison or something.

Grace for thee but not for me?

you should read Mathew 18:23-35

Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?

but only if the people would get out of the left lane.
legal speed limit or not... Most of these people
go to the mini van school of driving!!!
They are going slightly above the speedlimit so the just sit in the left Lane....
every action has an equal reaction...called Road Rage.....

I was in the middle of Montana two summers ago. We were doing about 95 for a hundred miles or so and every now and then we would come up to a car in the passing lane. With the exception of four cars, they would pull into the right lane long before we got to them. We had to pass the four cars on the right. They simply would not pull into the slow lane, even after politely giving my headlights a quick flash.

There is a punchline: Three of the four had Washington plates.

We have the Florida problem in Washington state, but not to the same degree. A good way to reduce road rage is to ticket people who are pissing others off by attempting to control others driving habbits - stopping the control freaks.

BTW, I regularly pass on the shoulder...

So, "Slower traffic keep right" does not apply to you as long as you're doing the speed limit?

Like I said, the attitude is "I'll drive how and where I like and to Hell with the rest of you."
