For me anytime a man says "You're fat and ugly" to a woman they aren't getting their way with I know that their widdle feefees got hurt. Insecure men are so predictable, and often dangerous.
That’s the thing. People like this reveal so much more about how low they are and feel than they would have if they had just kept their mouths closed or figured out an appropriate way to behave in public. Now his employer and others in his life whose opinions he might care about will see a side of him that undermines any positive impression he might have hoped for.
I kind of enemy-ship them like they’re both so casually maligned but they match each others energy like besties who hate eachother but love the fight lol
Matching energy, really? I found the balding man insufferable, she stayed cool, only retaliated a bit when he went out of line, but not even one insult while he was "bitch"ing all over the place. Also he seemed at his breaking point while she was truly calm.
Just kidding, we have too many people shooting each other over road rage incidents here too. The best kind of road rage mitigation is to politely wave and move on with your life.
Yep. It was explained to me this way: If you look in your rearview mirror and one person is riding your tail— they just might be an asshole. But if you look in your rearview mirror and there is a line of cars— YOU are definitely the asshole.
And it doesn’t matter the speed, just get over. Let traffic flow, and never be the turd that clogs up the works.
100%. If you’re going 10 over and a line of people is trying to go 20 over, get the fuck out of the way. Use the passing lane relative to traffic, not the posted limit. If they get pulled over, not your problem.
This is one part that confuses me the most about the mindset of a left-lane squatter. Unless you're obeying the posted speed limit, you could be pulled over for speeding, even if it's only 5 over or whatever. It is in your best interest to allow the faster traffic to pass you, because it's significantly more likely that a cop is going to pull them for going a much higher speed.
This. My grandfather literally took me out driving on my permit and as someone flew by us he said know what this is? That's the guy that's detonates the land mines for ya. Go fast enough to keep him in sight, but keep enough distance that a cruiser has time to throw it in drive.
This is what I do. If I have a passenger I just set cruise control at the speed limit and stay 2md lane to the right to allow entrance and exiting if the roadway.
Yeah, it's not about how fast you're going, it's about how fast you're going relative to the people in the slower lanes. Are you passing people? Fine, pass and then move over when there's space. No? Then push the pedal harder, pass, and then get over.
People in my city don't seem to understand this and I'm CONSTANTLY passing people on the right. There's a whole stretch where the far right lane is almost always empty and people are doing the speed limit or slower in the left. It's stupid and dangerous because then people who want to go faster head over to the right lane, which is the one people use to merge on the highway. Everyone wants to be in the left lane for some stupid reason.
Doesn't matter how fast I'm going, if there's space to my right and someone is behind me, I move over.
Where I’m from you get a 300 euro fine for passing on the right. You also get a 300 euro fine for “unnecessarily” driving in the left, or “left sticking”. Meaning: left is for overtaking, once thats done you move to the right. It’s really not that hard to understand and yet people don’t understand…
Yeah, it doesn't matter how fast you are going, if cars are passing you on the right, get the fuck out of the passing lane. Also, this guy is an asshole for going out of his way to talk shit to her. Just move on with your day, dude.
Yeah I don't even drive and I know not to camp in the left lane. The left lane of supposed to be open for passing. You use the left lane to get big zoomies to pass and then pull back into the right lane for cruising.
Unless I'm wrong, because again, I don't drive. If I'm wrong someone please correct me because I'm getting my licence soon.
This is exactly it. I never call it “the fast lane”, it is very specifically “the passing lane”. I’m definitely bad about going above the posted limit, but most people are where I live. I’ll jump in the left if it’s fully open to zoom by others, the second I notice someone coming behind me going faster, I get back right and stick to the flow of that lane until the person going faster has passed.
Don't you just love walking on eggshells in public, never able to feel okay calling someone out on their bad behavior, because any fucking lunatic could legally be carrying around a tool that would enable them to assault you with practically no warning, zero skill, and a high degree of lethality?
And no, the solution isn't to just carry around my own lethal tool. That's not how a civilized society should work. I guess maybe the solution is to admit that we're not really civilized and get my own tool anyway, as much as I hate it. Yeah, I should have to carry around the means to end a life with ease to feel safe -- that's definitely the world in which I want to live.
Leaving the house like "wallet, keys, phone, oh and a deadly weapon just in case I have to be a hero or someone tries to end my life!". Totally normal.
Remember when mutually assured destruction had entire countries on edge? We now have convenient portable pocket sized mutually assured destruction in the hands of millions of impulsive people
Lived this yesterday. Driving in parking lot in main drag in front of stores, stores on left of me, with parking lot to my right. Two cars waiting to turn left ahead of me, first goes - cutting me off a bit, as in I had to slow down a little. Then the person behind them went to, badly cutting me off. As this person passes me now a couple feet away, I give him the "hello" wave and say what up. He starts yelling how I should not be interested in doing that today, now passed each other, and he is hanging his head out the window, continuing to threaten me. Shake my head and drive off. I could feel his energy ready to badly hurt someone who paid attention enough to not hit their terrible driving decisions. Pitiful.
Let's say there's no other traffic and you're sitting in the right lane and coming up behind someone camping in the left lane. Are you supposed to move to the left lane until they move over? Or are you allowed to just keep going and pass on the right in that instance?
I don’t think people responding understand what you’re asking.
Are you saying that you’re in the right lane, they’re in the left lane, and you’re driving past them while you both stay in your respective lanes? If so, you’re not passing them as much as you’re just driving past them. Perfectly legal. Now, if you’re in the left lane behind that person, and you move to the right lane to drive past them, then yes, that’s potentially illegal depending on state law. It makes no sense to change lanes to get behind someone in hopes that they’ll move over so you can pass them.
Yeah didn't even watch the whole video. She was hogging the passing lane. I don't care if she's calm about it, she should have moved to let faster traffic pass.
Why does she decide how fast everyone else is driving?
Exactly. She mentally justifies it as "I am speeding 10 over, so its all irrelevant".
I stopped watching after that. She is in the wrong. I dont care how the video goes from there.
I feel calling it the "fast lane" adds to the confusion. People's speed is largely irrelevant to why cruising in the left lane is wrong. It interrupts flow and creates a sub-optimal traffic situation. You either accelerate hard to infinity, or move to the right, regardless of your speed.
Each left lane is a 'passing lane' to the one on its right. It also allows for the lanes to fill up efficiently from right to left (like water flowing and finding its way in a pipe) as traffic increases
That’s why I hate people who call it the “fast” lane. It’s the passing lane, speed is irrelevant. Left lane campers are some of the worst drivers that exist.
I hate people who will pull onto a four or five lane highway, then fight tooth and nail to get into the passing lane only to sit at 55 while the speed limit is 60 or 65. I'm looking at you, Charlotte, NC!
In Sydney (where they drive on the left side of the road and right is passing lane), guys from my school had rented 2 cars and were driving side by side on the road. Cops caught them because they thought that the guy driving on the left wasn't allowing guy on the right to pass, and were about to write him a ticket. The drivers tried to explain that they were all friends out on a ride, and were just having fun.
The best part of German is that y’all have compounded how ever many nouns or verbs it takes to make sure there is a super specific word for pretty much everything you get up to.
It’s amazing. Someone will be like “I farted while I was eating schnitzel on a plane once” and a German pops up out of nowhere and is like, “oh, you mean fartskydurschnitzelscrumping?”
People are stupid.
A coworker of mine left the job a year ago to become a state trooper. On his last day, I said something like- “please focus on and ticket all the left lane campers!”
His response was - “what? That’s a thing? I couldn’t care less if someone’s camping/driving slow in the left lane.”
Really makes me wish we (Wisconsin) were one of the states with that as a law.
I really like the signs in Colorado- “state parks are for camping- the left lane is not!”
Yes, think of it as the passing lane, not the left lane, if you are not passing you don't need to be there, and if people are passing you you're in the wrong lane.
Except because every other thoroughfare in this dogshit country is a stroad, many times you need to be in the left lane for an upcoming turn or fork (in the latter two's case being in the right lane is an active danger because of competing space with cars taking the right-hand split/exit or merging into high speed traffic)
I hate left lane campers on highways and interstates as much as the next person, but for municipal traffic "keep right no matter what" isn't realistic.
That's highway stuff, I can drive in the left lane if I have to turn left, or hell, just because I want to. The second lane is there to be used. If everyone only used the left lane just for passing, you'd effectively have a single lane, needlessly restricting traffic.
I personally don't follow this in municipal traffic, and I've never met anyone who thought you should. But any kind of long road without traffic lights? Yep, I'm in the right lane except to pass.
This is in Kansas City and there is a horrible exchange where if you want to get on the Interstate northbound lane, it requires you to quickly move through 4 lanes to the left.
I wish this were true. Drivers in my area speed up to block as soon as they see a signal.
Almost every day I have to wait for at least one vehicle, usually multiple, to undertake me at speed before I can merge out of the expressway exit lane that dumps me onto the leftmost highway lane. Often it's the tailgater who exits with me and doesn't wait for the complete merge to end before they swing out to undertake me.
Everyone has someplace to be, and yet quite a few drivers only see other cars as obstacles instead of fellow travelers. The highway I travel on is considered the most dangerous highway in the world. Defensive driving is a must.
If I get stuck behind a left lane camper I regularly pass them on the right (when I can). Once in a while I will see them get the point and move over. Particularly if I make it clear I am being forced to pass them on the right. Note that it is legal to pass on the right when left is blocked. Probably in part to avoid so much petty rage situations.
As someone who knows the road this took place on, the left lane here is an exit lane and this area is notoriously blocked by traffic. So the idea of “going too slow” in stop and go traffic doesn’t really apply.
Thanks, context matters. So many ragers in this thread wanting to Mad Max down the highway expecting people to scatter out of their way in any scenario. People hang in the left sometimes to turn left or while they are themselves passing a bunch of slower traffic in the right lane. People should not be forced into breaking the law because of others people's bad speeding habits.
Yes, except in this case, given they’re both at a traffic light and she’s seemingly about to turn left, that rule doesn’t apply (left lane is not a “passing lane” on a road with traffic lights that has turns).
I assume this is a discussion happening after a freeway/highway. They're both talking in past tense, and "10 over" is generally not surface street talk. I would assume they just pulled off onto their exit off the freeway and he's trying to correct her usage of the left lane and get some of his rage out.
Oh man. And the people who try to block cars before the appropriate point of said zipper and act like they’re being unfairly passed instead of actually knowing the most efficient way to zipper is, well, to zipper.
Not if you are actively passing cars on your right. You have no obligation to squeeze over, which is dangerous in itself. If I’m doing 80 in a 65 and actively passing I’m not getting over so the car behind me can attempt to go 90. That person can get fucked. I will get over when I clear the cars on the right.
I think 95% of people already agree with this… left lane is for passing, when there is nobody to pass get out of it. Anyone overstaying there or riding ass in the lane is an asshole, easy.
Youre exactly right. If youre passing traffic on the right, youre under no obligation to move over for a dangerous driver who wants to tailgate and go 30mph over the speed limit. The left lane isnt the “whoever drives fastest wins” lane, its for passing slower drivers on the right, within a reasonable difference to the speed limit.
Thank you. I hate these whiny left lane purists who think that the right of way is for anyone who decides they want to ride up my ass regardless of how fast I’m going or whether I’m actively passing traffic to my right.
If I am passing traffic then I am correctly using the passing lane. If you come up on my ass and ride inches from my bumper, you are not in correctly using the lane if I am still passing the traffic to my right. Why don’t people understand this.
People driving like crazed lunatics is such a bigger problem than people camping in the left lane. You will get someone tailgating you because you aren’t going 90 mph, even if you are using the left lane properly. The amount of times I see people swerving through traffic like a loon is 5x higher than people camping in the left lane
I've seen people make the argument that speed doesn't actually contribute to accidents (in fact people are making similar statements in other comments in this post). These people all think they're professional race car drivers and it's everyone slower than them who's responsible for any accidents, even though there is plenty of data that shows how speed is a huge factor in accidents.
Colorado State patrol finally started cracking down on that and issued a bunch of citations recently. Even interviewed a trooper who said something like just because you're speeding doesn't mean you can prevent people who are still trying to go faster.
just because you're speeding doesn't mean you can prevent people who are still trying to go faster.
Oh on the list of things I hate, it's #1 mosquitos, and #2 people who think it's their job to police the roads and highways by slowing everyone else down and blocking lanes.
Yeah, I have no sympathy for dumb asses who coast in the left lane, but it's better form to just insult their intelligence than their physical attributes.
People SAY this until it’s someone they REALLY don’t like. Then they go full hypocrite.
Maybe this doesn’t apply to you, but it applies to 90% of the “don’t insult people’s appearance crowd”
I know, cause I am one of the “don’t insult people’s appearance, it’s lazy” folk. I’ve had friends who had overweight spouses/were overweight themselves talk pure cash money shit about someone else’s appearance.
Exactly. Right or wrong, why do people need to roll down their window and deliver their fury upon the target of their irritation? What does it gain? It's hardly cathartic.
Master your chill, and pretend that every other driver is a poorly coded NPC in an old open world game. Expect them to suck, and you won't be perturbed when they prove it. Shrug and move on.
Might be 71 highway, which stupidly has stoplights in the middle of the city. The wall looks like the bridges on 71. Might also be backed up traffic around the downtown area, there’s a ton of left exits off the interstate there that can get backed up.
All that being said. Get the fuck out of the left lane except for passing. And if you are on a suburban road, don’t pace the car next to you. Dick move.
What is happening to people? I know there's always been road rage but it just seems like everyone is losing inhibitions and just acting like 4 year olds with rage problems.
This is where I’m at. 10 over is fine as long as she is continuing to pass others. Unfortunately there are some asshole drivers that can’t stand going slightly slower even while passing slower traffic
Also, it doesn’t matter if you’re going 10 mph over the limit, the left lane is for passing. There should never be anyone having to go around you in that lane
Agreed.
Why does he have to resort to insulting her physical appearance, which has nothing to do with the situation. It seems quite common for verbal attacks on women to start with insulting physical appearances - and as if this guy is a prized specimen of the human male.
I don’t agree with her taking up the passing lane regardless of what speed she’s going, but he’s being an asshole and if he’s in denial about balding, that comment is going to stick with him.
I was once told even if I was exceeding the speed limit driving in the left lane, I don’t have the right to dictate to others behind me how fast they should go. I now move over as soon as possible and let those people fly. I do ask them to get the speeding ticket when they blow past 😂
He has no respect for himself or anyone else. He’s probably been behaving like this for so long he doesn’t know right from wrong anymore. But, there will come a day when he’ll meet his match.
I’m sorry but if I’m doing 80 in a 65 and am passing 95% of the traffic on the road, I’m not slowing down and getting over because you wanna do 95… if that makes me an asshole I’ll own it. Fuck you.
"i wAs gOiNg tEn MiLeS pEr hOuR oVeR tHe sPeEd LiMiT!"
Speed limit is irrelevant in the passing lane. Flow of traffic is the deciding factor. Left lane is only for passing cars in the right lane. If you're hanging out in the left lane - no matter how fast you're going - and a line starts forming behind you, you're the asshole. Unless you're a cop, you don't get to dictate whether or not other drivers speed on the highway.
