I do it to piss people off, mainly the guys with tractor tires on a dodge driving on the highway

Left lane is for passing. If you’re not passing and you’re in the left lane you are wrong. I don’t give two dead flies what the speed limit says or how virtuous you think you are you’re still wrong.

If you’re lollygagging in the left lane and texting you’re about to receive a proper cussing.

It's everywhere. Sometimes it's some little ignunt old person just trying to make home from Bible study or the beer store. Most of the time it's someone expressing their power over you.

I hate super two's, where a passing lane appears for a half of a mile and disappears as we have them all over north west Texas and without fail when you've been tailgating the little person driving the mini van going 60 in a 75 for 10 miles and then the sign teases you passing lane ahead 1/2 mile and they decide to gas on it as you're whipping around them with your foot thru the floor board. I see how road rage is real.

That sucks. I'm the opposite - I drive slower to let you get by faster. Especially on the highway when an 18-wheeler is passing me or something like that. Dumb...

Yeah, I kill cruise control or let off the gas when people pass me. It's the right way to do it.

Driving from Allen back to Longview last Sunday, I passed the same person on I-20 at least 7 times. I had my cruise set at the same speed the whole way. Every time I passed, they were on their cell phone, when they passed me they were not and doing at least 90 MPH. We got to the Longview exit at the same time.

The passing lanes on 82/114 west to Lubbock are all up hill and seem to be 1/4 mile . They are terrible if you are in a jeep with no top end power.

Log trucks and wood chip trucks here. The pole type log trucks and many times in poor repair (they drive them into the woods to logging sites to load them).

my pet peeve is one truck passing another on a 2 lane interstate...they both have governors that limit their speed to about 65 mph but one truck is 1 mph faster than the other so it backs traffic up for 5 miles until he finally gets around the other truck.......

Yep! And then you have all of those behind you jumping to the outside lane, coming up and expecting you to let them in. Nope, you just lost your place in line. Have a nice day!!

I love it when a group of cars are all moving along the same speed, you move over to pass a little slower car and then it seems all the cars behind you floor it and get on your bumper.
