  While the actual speed police said you are already over the limit

  god I don’t understand speeding

    Exactly… I’m breaking the law by 10mph so that’s good enough for everyone. This other guy that wants to break it by 15mph is a total asshole.

      You’re not an asshole for going faster, you’re an asshole for tailgating

  Situational awareness is key.

  10 over on left lane (right for UK) while the other one is free? You’re the entitled speed police asshole. He’s the dumb tailgating idiot.

  10 over the other way around? You’re doing nothing wrong. He’s still the dumb tailgating idiot.

  I don’t condone assholery on the road, but it’s still my license and my fine if I’m speeding up for a tailgater. So if the right lane has slow traffic and I’m overtaking on the left, I’ll stick to whatever speed on or above the limit that I consider safe. Unless the tailgater has blue lights flashing, I’m not obliged to do a damn thing.

    Sure. But if you have no one in front of you, and a line of people behind you, you’re the asshole, even if you’re going 10 over. Move over and let them by.

      You sound like that asshole

      • JohnnyMac@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        No, I just move over and get on with my life instead of rage that someone behind me wants to get somewhere faster.

      You do understand the concept of a speed limit, right?

      no.

      The implication is that there is someone in the right lane that they are passing. Without running that person off the road, getting over has to wait until the pass is complete. Tailgating that person isn’t going to make that faster, just more dangerous, and if you’re doing it to me I will slow down, so it will also take longer.

      Don’t drive like an entitled cunt, and these issues just magically don’t happen to you. I’ve never tailgated someone and had to deal with them slowing down, brake checking, or literally anything else, because I don’t tailgate people like an asshole.

      This is true as long as they’re not actively passing traffic to the right (assuming 2 lane highway). If they are driving in traffic and actively passing cars on the right then anybody behind should not be tailgating.

    10 over the other way around? You’re doing nothing wrong.

    Yeah you are, you’re endangering yourself and those around you by traveling at an unsafe speed.

  Not sure why all the down votes. Most states it’s the law the right lane is passing only.

  So you’re the tailgating truck driver in this meme?

  • JohnnyMac@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    No, I’m the person that lets them pass because I don’t presume to know why they’re in such a rush. Maybe pregnant wife or medical emergency. Or maybe just a dick… don’t know. Don’t care. I’m not the speed police.
