Bizarre is the phenomenon (probably already mentioned) that when you come up on someone in the passing lane and they get over to let you through they instantly accelerate to at least your speed if not more like you just woke them the fuck up out of their phone and now it’s a drag race from 67-80.

Midwest drivers who straddle the lane so someone can’t pass on the right. Including at intersections where they won’t let someone go down the shoulder to make a right turn

For those lamenting how people don't get to max speed in the on ramp before merging, there is a reason (not a good one, but a reason): the faster they go, the quicker they eat up the merge lane, making the whole process of merging more scary, because there's much less space/time for them to do so. That scariness is compounded by the fact that there are people who don't like letting people merge in front of them (citation: see thread title), which just makes merging that much more terrifying to them.
So, instead, they jump in just as soon as they can. Adding to the problem, and making the thread title a self-fulfilling prophecy."fuck off you asshat gaper shit for brains fucktard wanker." - Jesus Christ

I was 16, just got my license, and back then, (right after electricity was invented), you could just go out and drive. None of this driving with adults only probation period or whatever. Anyway, I got my buddies in the car, and I'm merging onto the freeway and timing out the merge, when my friend Mark yells from the back: "Fucking floor it you pussy, you never brake on a ramp."
Done.Well maybe I'm the faggot America
I'm not a part of a redneck agenda

Or begins. We're getting back towards horseless carriage stuff at this point.

Going downhill on a narrow two lane into Ithaca following a panel truck doing 10 under the limit. No shoulders. Camaro gets on my tail but I ignored it. Camaro hits the gas to pass me and the truck. Not a good look, so I back off to put some distance between my Caprice and the truck. Good thing I did, parts of the Camaro came flying over the top of the truck from the head on crash and I was able to brake/turn/slide/go onto a side street. Be careful out there.
I win?A few people feel the rain. Most people just get wet.

PSA: You drive like an asshole!!
The core problem is that people like you and goat think that you are the arbiters of when the rules of the road apply and when they don’t.
Don’t worry about how fast I or anyone else wants to go. That’s irrelevant and just shows your motivations - policing others’ behavior. This ain’t the bathroom line in 1st grade where cutting the line is rude and should be policed by you.
Don’t abandon the protocol and be willfully blind to the consequence.
Just follow the rules of the and stop with your judgements about when others should be going what speed. My or any other drivers desired speed is irrelevant to how you drive.
Stay right. If you need to pass, get left, pass, and return right.
Don’t think stupid shit that you and goat have mentioned shouldn’t be considered like,
‘But I’m keeping up with the car in front of me in the left lane.’
‘I think the guy behind me wants to go too fast’
‘Oh well there is too much traffic so I’ll stay left’
Or what the fuck ever.
STAY RIGHT EXCEPT TO PASS
The ironic thing is that morons staying in the left lane in heavy stop and go traffic are net going slower than I in the right lane. I’ve done it dozens or hundreds of times.
In the end all the left lane loungers are fucking over

You're utterly delusional and narcissistic on this point, but you keep doing you.

Talk about narcissistic.
You want to decide when the laws of the road apply and when not.

I think "stay right except to pass" falls apart in bumper-to-bumper traffic. Pretty much everyone wants to pass at that point. So, what, that lane is just for those who really, really want to pass in those conditions?

Dead stop. Stop and go, sure whatever. Problem is the grey area in between.

I'm all the way with you except on this point. If you're trying to pass the motherfucker in front of you in the left lane who won't get out of the way, you're not part of the problem. You're just in the left lane, trying to pass, getting stymied by the asshole in front of you.
