I live in Memphis. People are pretty speedy drivers here especially out on the expressway.

 

No kidding. i’ve driven from Memphis to Atlanta plenty of times. The flow of traffic in North Mississippi is 90 mph.

 

I was in a Kia K5 rental car lol. I would have been perfectly happy had I been in a real car!

 

Yeah so I would question the "people are slower in the south" thing when it comes to driving speeds at least!

 

yea definitely not a "southern thing" per se, more just a countryside in the middle of nowhere out in bumble****** thing to drive with absolutely no urgency

 

so if i'm doing 80-85 in a 70 interstate speed limit and someone comes RIGHT UP to my bumper, i should pull over. what they're doing isn't legal on multiple fronts. so i'm not going to respond to their 'pressure' as you would call it. i will get over because i don't need to 'engage' with JERKS, but i may just slow down first which sometimes puts the pressure back on them to slow the f down and back off. but you do you and i'll do me...

don't know anyone was offended, but your observation just isn't true, lol.



holy over-generalization, batman.

good luck driving slow on the interstates in florida.

LOL - i know people in LA who would strongly disagree with you.

haha - atlanta's perimeter highway (285) is basically a race track

 

Yes, you should move over. Its not your job to enforce the law, and if a police officer observed you not moving over, they would stop you and cite you. Refusing to cede the left lane to a faster driver is against the law. Full stop.

You thinking somebody else is a jerk and feeling that its your place to slow down and punish them for their behavior is wrong, its aggressive driving, asking for road rage and it makes the roadways more dangerous for everyone.

 

thanks for the laugh.

you make it sound like i'm acting as some kind of highway cop. this is not a regular occurrence by any means (i mostly drive in the middle lane for one thing) and as i said, i do get over, but i really don't care what you say, i'm not going to be bullied to immediately respond because some JERK is RIGHT in my rear bumper.

 

don't think he's saying to violently swerve to the right in a panic lol... just don't willfully hold people up because you're already going "fast enough"

 

Its not what I say, its the law. You slowing down to punish people that clearly bother you enough to call them a name in all caps is against the law.

Someone else breaking the law doesn't give you the right to break the law. The law is for law enforcement to enforce, not you. I'm usually one of the faster drivers on the road, but when someone comes up behind me I immediately yield the left lane.

This is all about ego. If people would set their egos aside when they drive the roads would be way better off.

Miami Police Department:

 

I mean he does pull a trailer over max weight going 90+ so that type of behavior tracks I guess?

 

I think you guys are right because the more I thought about it, it's changed here over the years.

People fly down the interstates here going 90 all the time. Atlanta is 85 or bust, and ESPECIALLY I95 in South Florida.

What I meant was when lights turn green, sometimes it takes a sec to get moving or it used to.

 

Atalanta is insane, easy 100mph flow when many people and cars can't do those speeds safely.

 

So many beaters with 3 wheels going 100!

 

These are the type of drivers I put my front grille in their rear view mirror.😝

I crank up the gain on my brake controller and put the grille in your mirror…I need you to move sir!! 😂

I’m not over max weight but I pull a trailer at higher speeds than people drive small commuter vehicles.

This is where I hit triple digits with a trailer in tow. This was in the V35A🤪 Oh yeah I was in the back. Couple of my buddies were ahead of me.
