261. I pass in the left lane when I want to - period.
Edited on Wed Apr-02-08 02:13 PM by FlaGranny
I move out of the way as soon as I pass if there's an a-hole coming up behind me doing 100, but even so I will not move over until I can do so without cutting off the car I'm passing and that REALLY pisses off the speed idiots. They're like the guy a couple of weeks ago who blew his horn at me and gave me the finger for stopping when the light at an intersection turned RED about 100 feet before I got there to make a right turn. Sure, we're allowed to turn right on red here, but we're supposed to stop at red lights and make sure the intersection is clear first. He expected me to just blow through a red light at an intersection. I sure hope that idiot can read lips because I looked him right in the eye and called him a "stupid f'ing asshole" before I had time to that think I might be taking my life in my hands. Before I got to that intersection I was doing 50 in a 45 mph zone in a heavy traffic area - in the right lane. I'm sure that pissed him off too. It doesn't make any difference what lane you're traveling in when you have an asshole behind you.

My opinion is that the stupid f'ing assholes of this world are the ones who should be punished, rather than someone obeying the law, but what do I know?

Oh, and by the way, I hate it too when someone drives in the passing lane instead of using it to pass, no matter whether they're going the speed limit, under it, or over it. It's just rude. But - still, there ARE the assholes.
