Please follow this guideline for effective, efficient, and safe driving.

Maintain Lane discipline. I cannot stress this enough!!! Lane discipline involves moving over when you are in the fast lane and someone is behind you trying to pass. Move over!!!! Fast driving does not equal aggressive driving per se.

Please do not sit in the left lane and "patrol" other peoples driving habits. That's what police are for. Sitting in the left lane is why people become aggressive while driving. Think about it. The slower driver thinks the guy behind him is being unsafe for tailgating. The guy behind the slower driver thinks he is an ass for not allowing him to pass. Both drivers become irratated with the other's driving. This also leads to unsafe driving because the faster driver is usually forced to pass on the right into even slower traffic. This is one of the main causes of the "weaving effect" The driver that wants to maintain a speed is forced to jump through traffic endangering multiple people. In fact, this is why most states have "slower traffic keep right" laws. Unfortunately, because they are more difficult to spot and don't make the state as much money, they are rarely enforced (I have heard this from cops).

I notice that older people and "passive drivers" tend to stay in the left lanes (who IMO are just as dangerous as aggressive drivers due to their lack of understanding of whats happening around them). My experience is that these drivers like to have longer than necessary distances between them and the next car. When they stay in the fast lane all the cars already in front of them pull away giving them the sense that they are maintaining a safe distance. Meanwhile, people in the back will not maintain a safe distance when traffic starts piling up behind them.

If you want to go 80 in a 65 and they guy behind you wants to 85 just move over. You can move back to the left lane as soon as he/she passes you. Don't think that because you are going fast doesn't mean somebody else won't go faster. (besides, these people are the best radar detector you can have; just fall back 50 yards and go same speed)

For people that will try to use the argument that they are within their right to stay in the fast lane so long as they don't speed may be technically correct. But who are you to decide what is safest for every other driver on the road or that you know whats best for everybody else. I also don't buy into the argument that you only save x amount of minutes at this speed vs. the speed limit. Most people don't speed on the freeway to save time, most of us do it because the speed we drive is what we feel comfortable at while being safe with the conditions present. Some people feel comfortable at 65, 70, 75, 80 (this example uses 65-mph speed limit). If you feel comfortable at 75 and the guy behind you feels comfortable at 80, please move over.

Check your rearview mirrors constantly and stay vigilant! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/driving.gif.c4dead4599dda895032b63e51f52b126.gif

Drive Safe

Ummmm, Its nice your trying to educate everyone on proper driving habits. But in doing so you come off as two things. Helpfull and an asss. By telling people this is the way to drive is your first mistake. That is the way YOU want everyone to drive not the proper way. Maybe you justify telling everyone this because it's the safe way to drive. Wrong it's your way you do it and stop cramming it down other peoples throat. Kappish.

 
Yet you didn't disagree with any of my points....funny how that is.

First of all I wasn't trying to come of as an ass. And I apologize if I did. Second of all if you are going to attack a post, attack with facts, not what you feel people should be posting. I thought that was the idea of a "lounge" where you could post what you felt like within certain limits.

And just for clarification, exactly whose throat was I trying to ram it down? These were my personal opinions, not a lecture that I was forcing you to read. If you don't want to read it, use the back button on your browser.

Cheers mate.

You got me all wrong bro. I did not attack your post. I was being a sarcastic dumb ars.

The reason I did not argue any of your ideas was, the simple fact of not turrning this in to an argument. "Which I belive was your original purpose." So I refrained from commenting directly to your post. Hence the sarcasim //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/thumbsup.gif.3287b36ca96645a13a43aff531f37f02.gif

If you wish. I belive if someone is driving in the "Fast" lane, It is there legal right to go 65mph or slower. Driving slow in the fast lane is not dangerous. Driving fast in the fast lane is.

There should be no argument on that fact. Speeding is wrong 100% of the time.

Although I do not drive slow in the fast lane I belive it is someone's legal right to if they wish. So I simply go around them when clear.

The one thing I do get mad about is a slow driver in the fast lane. Then when you proceed to go around them they speed up so you can not. That is just retarded. Of course I always get around them //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/thumbsup.gif.3287b36ca96645a13a43aff531f37f02.gif

 
i see the idea of it sometimes being safer to move over and let someone pass, and i do that if i see im going slower than i should in the fast lane, but if im driving the speed limit in the fast lane ill stay there if i choose too. i aint gonna move just cause you wanna go faster than the posted limit. **** off. hell i drive 75 or whatever in the fast lane, sometimes faster even though i know i shouldnt and people still tail gate me sometimes in the fast lane. ****in annoying as all hell. the fast lane means you can drive faster than everyone else UP TO the posted speed limit. the fast lane doesnt mean, drive as fast as you want. piss off

edit: although i dont agree with you ill applaud your effort on at least writing a post that long and actually takin your time.

 
I'll agree with his post, rage is what - in my opinion - causes a majority of accidents. I don't think that people should be able to go as fast as they want, but I think that backing up traffic because you're too stubborn to move over due to a technicality (sp?) is even more stupid.

If someone is driving to fast and they get in an accident, that's horrible, but if a person slows down 15 cars behind him and then two in the front crash and nobody else has the time to stop....that's worse.

This post is assuming reality and not ideology, where which people shouldn't tailgate in the first place no matter what the speed. So saying that, I think it's much safer to let others travel fast and be polite, that way you're not the cause of an accident because you have a dick up your ass.

 
In Florida we have the "Slow traffic keep right" law. Do people obey, NO! Do I obey the speed limit? Not on highways. So, which is worse? Neither if you ask me, both are breaking the law. I’m OK to break the speeding law, you are ok with breaking the Slow traffic keep right law.

But as I slow down for you breaking the law, I and am no longer breaking the law while you continue to break the law.

The other thing people need to realize is something called the flow of traffic. In Atlanta GA last time I went to NOPI the speed limit was 70, if I didn't do at least 85 I would have been rear-ended, cursed, ran off the road, or something else bad.

I would say that if the speed limit is 70MPH and the flow of traffic is at 80MPH than any person staying in the left lane going below that speed is a problem. They are the ones endangering lives.

I have gotten behind countless people on an empty interstate (left lane) flashed them etc. and was forced to pass illegally on the right. So not only was I speeding they made me brake yet another law by passing on the right. I usually thank them for being AHoles and not knowing how to drive.

Any person has speed at one time or another, it happens. You do not have to take a 4-hour road trip in the left lane going 10 miles under the speed limit.

Another reason for staying in the right lane if you are not passing is for emergency vehicles. You see the high-speed car chases. Do you want to be the next ass stuck in the left lane with a criminal and 4 cops behind you?

If you see a car in your rearview that wasn't there a few minutes before then get over cause guess what they caught up to you and are therefore going faster than you.

That’s enough for today... Tomorrow we cover BLINKERS!

Hmmm. You are very uneducated. The Slow traffic keep right law is for vehicles driving slower than the posted speed limit. Not to move for speeders. Lets say the speed limit is 65. Any one 60 and under should be driving in the first 2 lanes of the highway. 60-65 in the 3rd and the 4th "Fast" lane is for passing.

Did we not read the Drivers Handbook everyone.

There is no argument. Speeding is wrong 100% of the time.

Road rage is a crime by the speeder. Regardless of the cause, the act of road rage it self is the crime. Not the cause.

Nuff said. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/pullover.gif.ac2de04a20ebe8c72a715e86e00c8c0d.gif
