Should be pretty clear how I stand on this one.

I'm not trying to police anything, you want to drive 150 mph, fine. I'm on the left because I don't want to go left-right-left-right-left-right-left-right switching back and forth to infinite all the way to my destination. I'm driving over the speed limit. Don't like it? Tough, go find a 3 or 4-lane highway.

Someone needs to seriously hit you in the ass.

As someone who has driven on the autobahn it was apparent that not only do Germans know how to make cars...they also know how to drive them.

Makes sense on the interstate. But around town there is no "fast lane", cause sometimes people have to make a left turn. Which is really not being unreasonable. The need to occasionally turn shouldn't piss anyone off too terribly much.

I stay out of the passing lane except to pass. If I'm passing and someone comes up behind me going faster, I'll speed up a bit to get out of his way, but only so much. I'm not getting a big fat ticket just so some douche can barrel down the road at 100 MPH.

There are times I do end up slowing down people in the left lane when I'm going over the limit, I just wait till I get passed the line of cars and move over. If moving over is too much work for you, you should take a bus. The way I look at it, I've been in situations where I've been in a hurry for a reason, so I'd rather resist being a hypocrite when possible. Though I know lots of people completely lack empathy.

The only people that tick me off are the ones that speed up or slow down to whatever speed you are going, though my real issue is just trying to get away from someone who is that much of an ass.

Idiots who can't maintain a constant speed annoy the crap out of me. I'll pass somebody, get in the right lane, and a minute later they speed up to pass me, then slow down again. Rinse and repeat. Seriously, what the **** is wrong with people who do that? I'm sure that Maxima has cruise control, dumbass. USE IT.

That's because you have to actually know how to drive to get a license over there.

Much more annoying to me are people who don't plan for their exits and all of a sudden make a big emergency of needing to crowd in front of you so they don't miss it.

yup, I'll bump up a couple mph on occasion to let some people pass. It isn't like putting in a couple clicks on the cruise control is really any work on my part to be a little polite. I'll stick with my bus statement, if a little courtesy on the road is too much work for you then you should just stick your lazy butt on a bus.

Yeah, it used to make me mad, but like I said, now the biggest thing is trying to figure out how to get away from them so I can just cruise instead of a game of leap frog.

You shouldn't even have to mess with the setting on your cruise control. You can accelerate a bit and then let off the gas and your cc will kick back in once you're down to the speed you previously had it set at.

And the enforce the not passing on the right and not blocking the left lane because you think you are going fast enough for everyone else.

Yeah, I do it both ways, just depends on if I want to move my thumb or my leg and foot, lol

This is one of my biggest two problems with drivers. That and putting the blinker on AS they are turning. Awesome, what is that point?!
