This is a pretty decent one (unless you're not moving faster then the right lane traffic.. see above).
If you're being tailgated, chances are that car wants to go faster then you. If there is room to your right, BY LAW slower traffic keep right, doesn't matter what the speed limit is. It's safer for everyone on the freeway, keeps traffic flow smoother, and avoids these situations.

You're from Tampa I see. I'm from Los Angeles. You're walking on eggshells with your train of thought. I know road rage happens everywhere people can get a gun (not a political comment), but in LA....people are more on edge. And it's sad that homicides over "looking at someone wrong, flipping them off while driving" appear on the newspaper more often than it should. We don't have long, desolate highways like Florida, the Midwest or other slower parts of the country where you can go to the right or left (if there's a broken line) and do all that stuff.
There was a car in front of me fyi. Secondly, it wasn't on a long, desolate highway in like in Florida, Georgia or wherever; yes I visited these places on business so I have a good idea of what traffic is like over there. Secondly, it was a 45 mph zone. The a55hole behind me doing this, abruptly caught up to my rear out of nowhere. He was easily going 65 on a 45, whereas i was going about 50....Yeah man, don't get ahead of yourself and pontificate. Things in life aren't as black or white as you think they are. People don't always go the speed limit, make complete stops at red lights/stop signs (if they're making a right turn) i.e. "California stops," people don't always use their blinkers when changing lanes, or when they're in opposing traffic about to make a left turn in front of you.
I was willing to take the risk of whatever consequences that night with the guy tailgating me. I don't look for trouble, don't stick my chest out acting hard, try to act alpha male, etc....However I RARELY lose fist fights.
