Ok, so no one has answered the question yet.. just more of the same 'ol "I can pace people because no one else should be going faster than me, me, me"
I like how everyone automatically assumes me and Jason do 150mph down the 347... lol.. I know I don't..
How hard is it to get through to you left-lane-lounge-tards? It has NOTHING to do with speeding, speeders, or what YOU determine is right for everyone else to do... It's as simple as DRIVING COURTESY.. period.. Other than the "me, me, me" attitude, there's NO REASON why someone cannot yield (move right) and allow another driver to pass..
I do 70-75mph on the 347 (I know, what a dangerous speeder I am).. I keep right.. If I'm passing a vehicle and someone comes on my six who's going faster.. I pull right, let them pass, then continue.. how hard is that? I don't feel a loss to my ego.. I don't feel like "they got one over on me", etc.. It's just driver courtesy..
Here's some reasons to block traffic:
1. You were the kid everyone picked on in school... somehow you feel vindicated whenever you have some behind you and you control whether or not they can get by..
2. You're a closet homosexual and you enjoy men riding your arse?
3. You failed the test to become a PO and feel it is your responsibility to do what you can to be a public enforcer..
4. Somehow, when people go faster than you, you feel as if you are a failure in life...
5. You drive a craptacular car and feel that no one who drives a nicer one should be in front of you..
6. You drive a ginormous domestic truck with a 6' lift kit and feel that you are letting America down by letting that guy in the Nissan Sentra get past you...
7. You're just oblivious to the world around you and really shouldn't possess a driver's license.. or breed either..
Just my observations..

Of course there is no reason for anyone to pace a car next to them. You are forgetting ofcourse the people that speed up in the rt lane when someone is trying to pass them- because they are afraid of getting a ticket but if someone else is willing to go faster than they will too. Or the idiot that passes and then after moving in front automatically slows down.
Your assumptions though somewhat humorous show you get a little too bent out of shape when it comes to driving.
I drive the same speeds you do when I can- and yes I hate the left lane drivers and the pacing. But these people are not going to change from this forum- especially with comments like yours.
I was taught to drive correctly- safe- courteous- and consistent. That is what gets you there faster and alive.

Alert | To All:
Not sure how this post has gone off on a "move to the right if you're going slower" tangent. I had indicated I was driving in the right lane and no I was not going by the Rinker plant where there is the right turn lane.
Traffic was heavy in the left and right lanes with each lane pacing each other at about 70-75 MPH so there was no where to go and no way for me to speed up. This is when the driver of the BMW pulled to the right shoulder and proceeded to pass me and multiple cars in front of me. I'm sure one of you out there has an argument that says this is legal, but try it in front of a policeman and I'm pretty sure you would get a ticket. | |

Alert | | Ah well that clears it all up! The shoulder isn't a right lane and that is where the confusion came from. | |

Alert | We know Jason. EVERYBODY else is wrong but you....
If we're booring you too badly [ "*sigh*, One......more......time." ] Please, FEEL FREE to leave us to discuss things, and YOU leave us alone!
We know we're all stupid, and YOU have ALL the Answers.
The laws of the land do NOT apply to Jason, unless, HE wants them to.
Everything he disagrees with is either B.S. or not valid.
I'm so sorry YOU HIGH "A**", (oops) HIGHNESS, we're just not up to your standards! | | | |

He seems to me to be rather an "a**" also.
Glad I don't know him! | | | |
