Wait to pass them until you don't have someone going 10mph faster than you coming up in the left lane.

I find it pretty hard to believe that a cop would pull someone over who was driving at the posted limit to allow others to break the law and endanger themselves.

They might have been driving UNDER the posted minimum. That's a pretty significant detail, though.

But I'm not arguing laws I'm talking about common road courtesy, something you clearly cannot comprehend.

Common courtesy, whether on the road, in a restaurant, or ANYWHERE, NEVER requires someone else to break the law for your benefit.

You don't understand the definition of "courtesy".

You pass them then get back in the right lane. Did you really need help with that?

Getting over to the right lane to let someone pass isn't breaking the law.

You don't understand the definition of "law".

Common road courtesy would be not to speed in the first place, something you clearly can't comprehend.

So what if everyone else is doing it. That doesn't mean the guy in front of you has to do it because YOU are too impatient to not drive the posted limit.

I know, i know, those assholes. How dare they prevent you from driving like a jackass whenever YOU feel like it. The road is yours and only yours, everyone should abide by your laws, not the laws of the state....makes total sense.

Again, i speed. I speed everyday. But i don't get mad or act like an idiot and tailgate because the car in front of me doesn't wanna play by MY rules.

I see it quite a bit on my commute. I don't personally do more than 10 over and I'm constantly changing lanes to pass or let people pass me. I find that most people don't want to get over because they're afraid that they won't be able to get back in the left lane so they're content restricting the flow of traffic.

Neither is staying in the lane that they're in, so long as they're driving at the posted limit.

LOL I'd never be able to pass if I did that.

That simply sounds like traffic. You got out of their way, great, they're just going to get stalled up by the next car in front of them though.

Im not saying you should speed up if someone behind you is speeding Im saying you should get the hell out of the left lane. Am I speaking Chinese?

If there's a truck in the right lane going 62 and I'm going 65mph (the posted speed limit), I would have to SPEED in order to finish passing him and let you by.

I realize that you're too busy raging to actually read the posts and watch the video...

I don't know the exact speed they were going, but judging by my speedometer they were going at the speed limit, or close to it.
