When I ask people who call me if I can call them back shortly because I'm on the phone, or eating, and they still try to start a non-urgent conversation.

A car behind me flashing for me to move out of the left lane when I'm already doing 70-75.

wow, a whole 70-75???!!!?? how does anyone catch up to you?

[/ QUOTE ]

My point is if I'm doing only the speed limit, or less, I'll get out of the left lane if you want to pass. When I'm already going 5-10 over, you move.

Slower traffic, keep right. That doesn't mean "except if you're going 5-10 over the speed limit". Are you over 70 years of age?

If you're doing 80+ in a 65, you're a bigger risk to other drivers than I am for making you go around me. Fly to Germany if you have to drive that fast.

Wow. I opened the thread to reply "when people use your in place of you're."

[/ QUOTE ]

If you're talking about the use of "your" in the OP's title, I guess that's why you're saying wow? Like, "Wow, I almost made an ass of myself with my reply"?. Or is it "Wow, the OP sure must be stupid to not know that the title should read "What's you're pet peeve?". But yeah, people who use to and too interchangably bug the [censored] out of me, so I guess i can relate.

Another traffic peeve: People like you. SLOWER traffic should move to the right. That doesn't some absolute "X mph above posted speed and you stay", rather if there are cars going faster than yours you should move the [censored] over. Ass.

Dude:

I'm not necessarily advocating going super fast down the road, but I do think it's safer (for all involved) to move to the right whenever you're not passing. That way the crazies can zip on by without having to swerve around you.

Obviously this all assumes the right lane isn't completely clogged up with traffic; if it is I understand what you're saying that you don't want to continously go back and forth and speed up/slow down nonstop etc.

Fair enough. I'm assuming little or no congestion too. If a guy is a few hundred feet away, even at 80-85, he has plenty of time to go around me safely. I just see no logical reason for me at 75 to have to move when he can do so as safely. Again, if there's even moderate traffic, and he's got nowhere else to go, I have no problem moving.

What I'm talking about is the guys who come out of nowhere, doing 80 on a pretty clear highway and get to within 10 feet and start flashing ME the lights. They had plenty of time to jump in the middle lane.

I don't plan on doing 80 when I have kids in the car. But, if you're in the left lane driving 5 mph over the limit and blocking traffic just to be a jackass, you're the one who is endangering your kids. You should control the things you can control, not try to play traffic monitor by refusing to move over.

Drive in the left lane only for a reason---like if you're passing someone.

When people drag their feet as they walk...how [censored] lazy can you be PICK UP YOUR DAMN FEET!!!

And another one is when people can not properly manage their child in public (grocery stores etc...). They just let the little bastard run around screaming and breaking [censored] all day, or they just ignore a screaming child. If you can't take care of the kid properly buy some [censored] condoms or get your [censored] snipped.
