Interstate Driving 101...

[EW]

While I'll generally swap lanes to let someone by if they're approaching me and going considerably faster, if they flash their lights at me, I squat in the lane. I drive in my mirrors and am uber aware of my surroundings, I don't need some dolt flashing their lights at me, they can find a way to go around.

You're part of the problem. Yield anyway.

<- I don't flash my lights unless I am back there for a minute and I think they do not know I'm there.

thats exactly what i did. I flashed after following him for 4 yardsticks then flashed, and DPS pulled me over and ticketed me for that.

No sir, you feeling entitled to the point of flashing your lights as if you know the other person is unaware of your being back there is the problem.

I rest my case. Nothing against you personally, just using your case as an example.

Like I said, I generally(see 99% of the time) yield and let them go by, but when you have the gall to flash your lights, you can find a way around. Besides, I most normally go 15 or so over in the hammer lane anyhow. Why on Gods green earth would you need to go any faster?

i used to hate that 18 wheelers had to stay out of the left lane in states such as California, but the more driving I do around the metroplex the more these 18 wheelers in the far left lane doing 60 mph is pissing me off- get the fuck over.

Ah there are certain sections of interstate where trucks must use left lane. The one in particular is about a 10 mile stretch of I-70 east of Effingham,Il.

What the hell is a autobon???

I hated when cars would ride next to me when i'm pulling a Dozer of big hoe. I mean really its just a fkn bulldozer. You would be surprised at the idiots that check out what a big truck is hauling or whatever the hell their doing.
If your gonna pass a big truck, step on it and go on by, you massive tool.

Oh, I get it. If I drive slower than you I'm an idiot and if I drive faster than you I'm a maniac.
Slower traffic keep right. Learn it, know it, live it.

And max speed is 55 for a big truck in cali.

The feature on your vehicle in which you pull back on your turn signal lever to flash you lights is called FTP - "Flash To Pass". That's what it is there for - to indicate that you woould like to pass. Unfortunately that is not taught to the masses in driver's ed over here As as result, American drivers generally think the person behind them flashing their lights is just an asshole.

What about when you are in the left lane going 80 and there are also people in front of you in the left lane going 80 and the person behind you rides your ass and flashes you. If there is no one in front of me I will get over and let you pass if not fuck that. Those are the people I cant stand.

This one. These are also the same people that almost cause accidents and then have the gall to flip you off for their incompetence.

People are horrible about that at the Northeast Loop 820 split going East by the mall.

i agree with this totally. it goes back to situational awareness, and is very annoying...
