Proposal - Going too slow = ticket

In that case he was in the wrong, and is a tool.

Some asshole in a Trailblazer pulls up behind me and starts flashing to pass.
In the right fucking lane.
I can see in the rear view that he mouthing "Come on!!" and motioning with his hand for me to move up.

In the right lane on a 4 lane highway with me travelling 3-5 mph over the speed limit.

I immediately set my cruise control.

Once it turned to a 6 lane he flies across to the far left lane to pass the guy in the now middle lane and then proceeds to cut back in...all pissy like.

What a tool, yesterday I was on the southern state in nassau and am in the middle lane, not much traffic and a guy buzzes me on the right side, I look back in my rearview and see nothing in the left lane and am thinking why pass me on the right

Yep............To change lanes with authority is too much work for some people. Instead, they'd rather take 30 seconds to complete the lane change.

I call it the "molasses draft"

Black men do it a lot, I've noticed.

They're coming up behind you, and from 10 car lengths back they start drifting to the other lane. Several seconds later, their front bumper almost makes contact with your rear bumper.

Perhaps it's because they're sitting so low, "wit a gansta lean", that they can't see the corners of their car?

Or maybe it's their way of expressing "dominance" over you.

"Ha ha, I just 'drafted' you with inches to spare, therefore I owned you."

Dunno.

its the opposite around here, stay in th eleft lane untill the last second, then shoot over 2, 3, or 4 lanes of traffic to get off the hwy

That's my thought as well, why not just enforce the current law? If people only get into the left lane to pass then...problem solved.

If they do, I've never seen it enforced. Plenty of dumbshits driving under or at the limit in the left lane at all times, even when there's no vehicles anywhere near them in the right lane that they could possibly be passing.

Seems like it works well on 2 lane highways but on 3 or 4 lanes its a free for all

The reason its not enforced is that its a lesser violation than speeding, and very easy to argue out of in court.

True that. Driving over there was much less infuriating. STAY RIGHT PASS LEFT FUCKERS
