Left out No-passing Nate. He drives at about 5 mph below the speed limit, but gets angry when you move to pass him and will speed up to either keep you from passing or at least get 10-15 above the speed limit before you get past him.

Those are the kinds that most tempt me to open fire.

Yeah....No passing Nates are my favorite drivers to hate. Don’t drive 5 mph under the limit and expect not to get passed. I’ll cut them off in a heartbeat.

Nate is the kind of guy that I love to trap behind slow traffic by driving abreast of him. I never give him the courtesy of acknowledging him by flipping the bird or even glaring at him. I just trap him until he makes some futile move to get out of his little box then I just accelerate to normal driving speed. Fun for me and instructive for ole Nate.

Or people that you pass, then they can’t stand it so they have to speed up and pass you back, then you have to pass them again, because they don’t seem to understand, “Yes, I really AM going faster than you, THAT’S WHY I PASSED YOU IN THE FIRST PLACE!”
And the entitled passing lane drivers who have to be passed on the right. What jerks.

I'll get by you. Even if it means 35 over.

Yeah...those “speed spite” jerks and the “what’s a yield sign?” idiots are why I want a 50 caliber mounted on my trike.

I see a lot of those, too, but now have a bit of a sleeper that will jump around them anyway. They get mad and try to tailgate, until noticing the arm hanging out the window and mean old man behind the wheel. They chance being stomped into puddles of spoiled goo at their next stops.

I can’t stand the guy who passes you then immediately slows down so you either have to brake or pass him.

People often do that because having a vehicle moving up next to them changes their perception of how fast they are going.

Did you use to live in Oklahoma, or drive through there often? That’s a daily driving hazard in Oklahoma!!
