Just don't drive <= 50 MPH on the left lane of a 65 MPH freeway on a beautiful dry sunny day when everyone's on their way to work.
Well, that's what I saw this morning. I switched over and drove past her, and she switched over and continued driving no more than 50 MPH slowing a bunch of people down on the right lane. Imagine the urge to bully such driver haha.

and people who drive in the passing lane... that aren't passing, or are going slower than the lanes to their right, or that keep a gigantic distance between them and the vehicle in front of them also i don't get why people feel the need to change lanes immediately at a freeway merger... all that does is cause traffic to pile up. it's already going to go slower because of the merger but people trying to swap lanes doesn't help. maybe go like a quarter mile further before trying to change lanes? my list can go on and on lots of little things that cause traffic inefficiencies...

It's a giant cluster-****. You have people entering the freeway wanting to get onto the 10 and people on the 10 wanting to merge over into the people entering the freeway so they can get to the 17. On top of metered on-ramps -The worst idea ever. I feel like this is Pint's thread right now. |

I buy cars like the Z because I love to drive. I love being behind the wheel of capable sports car, and besides driving defensively most times, I try not to give a f*#k what everyone else is doing. I've wasted far too much energy "hating" on the roadway, and I really try not to get wrapped around the axle any longer about asshat drivers. They will always be there, and for me, it's just a detrimental waste of time to keep getting angry about it.....
Now if I could just get my legs out of this lotus position..... |

No need to brake-check them. Downshift a gear or two and let the car engine brake. Keep an eye in the rear view mirror and as soon as you see their nose dip when they brake, punch it to create some distance (don't think I've ever had to do this more than twice to get my point across). I use this method very successfully to get people off my a$$. It is typically a big truck who I know has no problem seeing past me and that I can't go anywhere due to cars in front of me. I have also used this method to make a gap and give someone in the adjacent lane an opportunity to get over behind me, thus protecting me from the tailgating idiot.

I'm a very considerate and risk-averse driver.
Until I see someone else being an idiot/bully/overreacting. Then I happily give it right back to them. Oh, you wanted this lane to be quick? Sorry, poor choice. Can't figure out how to use your turn signal because you're on the phone and smoking while driving? Yeah, you can wait behind me. Do I make it painfully obvious that I'm slamming on the gas to not let them pass me on a 4-lane road because they're impatient? No, I make it look as covert as possible, and I usually don't keep it up if they persist and lane change constantly behind me. I don't drive illegally or recklessly even when being a bully that way. It's not very karmic, but I only give it to those who give it out themselves. To everyone else, I'll accommodate them. Almost all of my life pet peeves are regarding poor drivers and the poor choices they make. (The one exception being when I'm near my home and work neighborhood. I am not a **** to anyone who can find where I live or park my car. ) |

I would not call it aggressive driving, bully driving, or passive aggressive. I see it as if you are not first then you are last.
