LOTS of traffic, all three lanes full, left lane passing center lane slowly but I could still move over, I see some asshat in an older Acura coming up fast, like 90+ so I started to move to the middle lane (to let him tailgate the people taking 1/2 hour to pass) and he switched to the center lane, too.

Lucky I saw him and moved back before he slammed into me. He passed on the right and cut someone off to get back left, etc. I think he managed to get about 1/8 mile ahead of me by the time he exited. Worth it, champ?

Anyway... I'm looking forward to rainy and 60 degrees going away, my car looks like it's been to a tractor pull or something.
Idiot... glad you were paying attention. In addition to rude, speeding idiots, I also hate rude, slow idiots. Like the ones that change lanes without signaling and won't pass the car they were just behind or the ones in the neighborhood that run stop signs in front of you and then drive 15-20 mph in a 35 zone. Although these idiots typically aren't as dangerous - it's the speed differential that's most dangerous. Still I just get that these people even have a license to drive

Ooops wrong thread. But I'm sure this thread will forgive me

I do if it is in traffic. They are putting people at risk. If I have a passenger or I am a passenger, I will happily call the police to report obviously impaired driving or extreme reckless driving. I don't use the phone if I'm driving, so I just stay away from these people.

When I'm alone on the road, I'm happy to drive 10-15 over the speed limit in most circumstances and even faster in certain rural areas. But with other vehicles around, I try to keep my speed differential less than 10 mph and closer to 5 mph. That doesn't always happen, but I try to be aware of all my outs in case some idiot decides they want in my lane without warning.
