If you hit the brakes the second you see a cop you are going too fast and you fucking know it
TheEvenPrez
I think we can all agree that people who cut in the line are horrible.
ob1ivion
Its the limit to how slow you can go
kebertxelaturdferguson
If you want to drive slower, that's fine. Go in the right lane. If traffic isn't impeding you and someone wants to pass, go right. Simple.
flobeach
Try going 55 through Atlanta
PutThePRNDLinD
The way most people drive explains why consumer debt continues to grow faster than consumer earnings...They are just fucking bad at math...
footfucker
Pheynx
What if I can't drive 55?
Okebel
Because i tried my best illegal move and some black and white touched my groove again.
PurpleEmpress
Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe Sammy Hagar had a similar issue
Barnone4
seems nobody else understood this reference!
FraudulentPepsi
SupposablyPersnickity
+1 for all you Sammy Hagar lovin’ mothers!
ThatMonkeyFromCaptainPlanet
I go whatever speed I feel is necessary. I'll go 20 in a 55 if the weather is fucked.
thestaffofelysium
Convincing everyone you are right in an imgur comment=trying to police speeders by driving the speed limit in the left lane...doesn’t work.
NullRageGaming
It's been far too long since some of these commenters have read the driving handbook!
ICantFeelMyToes
Honestly, fuck that book and the driving test in America. My brother just took the test and the amount of signs and rules that I have never
ICantFeelMyToes
seen, heard of, or situations that I've run into after 10 years of driving is ridiculous. The actual test is parallel park then can you stop
ICantFeelMyToes
at some stop signs in a neighborhood. They don't take you on the freeway or anything. Test to ez, rant over.
Wolfe65
I go 5 over always in fair weather and speed limit in bad. Then as fast as comfy in horrible. Try to be considerate. Hate you if you dont
Niddhoger
But fucking seriously! If you are doing 5-10 under the speed limit on a clear sunny day with no one in front of you, going straight to Hell!
HanShotFirst39
Most places also have laws on impeding traffic for the assholes that drive 20 mph under on highways.
neddyhill
in your ENTIRE life, how many people have you EVER encountered going 20 under on a highway..?
HanShotFirst39
I live in Florida. Multiple times a day.
neddyhill
i don't believe you.
HanShotFirst39
TruthHammer
Unless the weather is bad it's a lower limit...
djangojazz
Actually there is a third. Go only up to the speed limit but go in the left most lane and accelerate to block those that try to get around
ularg
Above 50 "Go at least" below 40 "Speed Limit". Don't fucking speed in neighborhoods or near schools.
TimeFoDat
You forgot the third kind that's going 45 in the passing lane with headphones on, man-handling a chimichanga while talking on the phone.
donkeymilker
I see the right sign is made for NJ drivers..
LittleMit
I don’t care if you want to go slow just don’t do it next to another car who is also going 5mph under the limit. Get over! ):<
RocketLeaguer93
Unless it’s Alaska. Then you have the 35 mph and below. And the 65 mph and higher
rovertbiggs

gcampbell13
Add a minimum speed limit. Tired of going 60kph in an 80kph 1 lane zone.
ecksdeelememefayce
Interstates in the US have a minimum of 45mph (~72km/h) generally, although havent seen a minimum elsewhere.
Niddhoger
That minimum is horrendously lower than what it needs to be. 55/60 should be the lower limit.... as even if I'm doing the posted limit 1/2
Niddhoger
if I round a corner or crest a hill and you are doing 45 just on the other side.... its really fucking dangerous. 2/2
cajuninjun
some places do have a minimum speed posted and even when there isn't one cops can still stop you for going to slow
blueknot
Go exactly 55, works for both.
Bob423
And in my area, most people go exactly 5 over and will be annoyed if you don't.
moricai
Not really, going 55 will run into the person on the left and will slightly annoy the person on the right.
HieronymousFlex
I always drive the speed limit, and I seem to also always be the slowest motherfucker on the road. Oh well, everyone else can bite me.
NullRageGaming
Good on you!
Mixelphlick
So long as your in the right lane on multi lane roads you do you
tripnok
Since this is the bitching about traffic section, screw people who don't speed match when getting on a highway. 1/2
tripnok
I hate trying to merge with traffic doing 65 when some incompetent idiot is fucking everyone behind them by doing 35 at the end of the ramp
iampandahearmeroar
Am I the only asshole who slows down when someone's tailgating me so I can revel in their frustration? I am that petty, yes.
Mithi
It's not petty, it is safety, coz lower speed means less disastrous consequences in case of accident.
Mixelphlick
Yes because angry drivers are always safer, and forcing people to weave through traffic is also much safer
Ben1045
And tired people. Driving for longer and more slowly than is needed for safety will make people far less engaged.
KaJuN
Why are you only doing 35 in an ice storm?? The speed limit is 55!!
MusicPirate
What is this ice storm you speak of?
LittleMit
Had one guy crash trying to go around me because the road was pure ice and I was going 20 in a 45. He gassed it and went right into a pole.
DefunkMyJunk
I always try testing the road in a safe place before I drive off
Rexermus
I remember going 90 kmph in a 90 zone on the 17, it was pouring down heavily and some morons where going over 100.
BLITEBOX
60 MILES AN HOUR? IN THE RAIN? WHAT LUNATICS! /s
Rexermus
thick layer of water covering the highway. Threat of hydroplaning.
flavivsaetivs
Saw a guy go 70 by us in torrential rain (the kind you have to stop for). Found him in a tree 5 miles down the road.
Ben1045
I've never heard of this kinds of rain. Maybe we don't get it here. Once there were cars stopped under overpasses and I went by at 60 on/
Ben1045
My motorcycle and it was fine. May have been less rain though,
KaJuN
Good
flavivsaetivs
You're laughing but I honestly don't know if he survived the crash.
MisterWho
Well, there are only tree possible outcomes.
KaJuN
He did it to himself. Pretty hard to feel bad for him.
tenebrisangelus
Did you pull aside to Checj on him?
flavivsaetivs
Naw I was just a kid at the time and first responders were already on the scene.
SquanchingonImgur
Ahahaha
bowofnorth
So there are drivers who don't break the law, and those who do? At least that's how this seems like to me, as a non american.
MzPaige
I ain't speeding~! I'm keeping up with traffic (Or setting the pace.)
MatrimBloodyCauthon
No we all break the law because going the "speed limit" is going to get you killed from road rage. 5-10 over minimum.
JesseSlayer
In NJ, if you're doing the speed limit you're getting run over. If you're doing 10+, you're still getting passed.
SamaelTheVenomOfGod
Hell, in Utah we regularly do 15 to 20 over, though everyone collectively slows if they see the cherries and berries blinking.
radiantkeen
In FL at least, the law specifically states that "6 MPH or greater is a ticketable offense", meaning most do up to 5 over.
Mixelphlick
Fun fact this is because a number of years ago a state congressmen got pulled over and ticketed doing 3 mph over. He got that new wording in
Corrodias
You're expected, as a good driver, do to between 0 and 5 mi/h over the posted limit. This is how I was instructed, by a licensed instructor»
Corrodias
a) and either current or former cop. In a number of places, traffic may flower faster, 10 or even more above. You're expected to match the
Corrodias
b) flow. Becoming a road hazard is never the safer or preferred option.
neddyhill
what a crock of shit
Corrodias
In what sense?
neddyhill
i don't believe you.
DynamicWeight
I can drive under if I want to in the right lanes. My truck severely punishes every 5mph increment over 55 in fuel economy.
tripnok
The argument is against people going slower in right hand lanes, you are good.
Corrodias
C'est la vie. It's not illegal unless there's a posted minimum. There are a lot of legal ways to inconvenience others, for fun or profit.
DynamicWeight
I'm barely inconveniencing you if you can go around me.
Corrodias
It's rare that I drive on a 2-lane highway where there isn't enough traffic to occupy both lanes. It happens, sometimes. Moreso at night.
Niddhoger
Unofficial rule: cops don't ticket if you are doing ~5 over the limit. I've seen stretches of road where cops don't ticket at 15 over. 1/2
Niddhoger
While I find someone doing the speed limit exactly annoying, I'll tolerate it. Then you get jackoffs going UNDER the posted limit when 2/3
Niddhoger
the flow of traffic is 5 over the limit. It can be maddening. 3/3
Rekkora
thats the shit that maddens me, going 35 in a 60. like, go fuck yourself dude
Niddhoger
My city has an unusual speed limit through most of it... 50 MPH is the posted limit. So many jackoffs do 45 past 2-3+ of those signs. Rage!
MundaneFinality
Then there the reasonable-yet-law-abiding people, who know how to actually maintain a speed, and go exactly the speed limit.
DemaciaRising
we don't talk about those sick perverts.
Mixelphlick
Cool do so in the right lane and that’s fine.
MundaneFinality
I will stay in the right lane once every single left-turn lane, left exit, and person-going-15-under-the limit is removed. Untill then, //
MundaneFinality
// I will drive in the left when necessary. I dont go under the limit, but other people's ability to speed is not my concern.
Mixelphlick
Sure passing and while preparing to turn are totally normal. Getting in the turn lane 5 miles before the turn however is another matter
TheBurritoConfederacy
And both can coexist with each other IF THE SLOWER TRAFFIC KEEPS TO THE RIGHT.
imgjim
Germans are so good at this
lordofthecows
Nope, doesn't work. Doesn't matter which lane you are in, entitled people don't want to change their speed and/or behavior.
ShootYourGooMyDude
That, and if you change into another lane you match the speed of traffic. If I'm coming up, and I have to hit the brakes because you cut>
ShootYourGooMyDude
in front of me at 20 below the speed limit, that's the same as attempting to kill me. Tons of people get into serious accidents from that.
Cereaza
*goes 55 in the left lane* "This is for your own good".
TheFastpaws
Yet the ASSHOLES never do! They think it is their right to control it then stay in the fast lane mirroring a slow lane ass.
Prinnly
I can’t stress how accurate this would be like holy shot stay in the right lane!!
asalleer
Well going through Idaho, I seen "Through traffic keeps left"; that is anyone NOT stopping in town.
Un0riginalComment
What if I need to turn left soon
10mm404
I want a window sticker on my BMW M3 that says "slower traffic keep right (that's you)" BTW, I use my turn signal!
EggOfWisdom
Unfortunately it only takes one person refusing to move from the left lane to cause a back up
Totallyirelephant
Unless you're in the UK.. Then slow traffic in left lane please
EggOfWisdom
NO...’MERICA!!!
Assfullofbread
Or Japan, Australia some islands etc
thejman85
Celebrimbor
What about the roads without multiple lanes? My daily commute to work is a curvy, one lane road and I'm always caught behind slow drivers.
RocketLeaguer93
Ram them off the road
TheBurritoConfederacy
RIP
cajuninjun
me too and b/c the road is so curvy it's really hard to see if it's safe to pass so you're just stuck in a line of 20 cars going 15 below
TheFragnatic
Rather have a 10 minute longer commute than 60 years shorter lifespan.
cajuninjun
me too, I hate passing on a curvy 2 lane but it still infuriates me when assholes drive too slow.
TheFragnatic
Yea I mean it's understandable in some cases. Hovering around 0C, driving 5-15km/h slower than limit is more than fine.
rhubarbarian
Who always refuse to use turnouts, too.
Darkspire
CHAAAAAARGE!
NullRageGaming
Don't speed, problem solved!
EggOfWisdom
Oh like you’ve never sped
foszor
This is true, but if I'm going 80 in a 65 but you wanna go 100, get off my ass and go around
EggOfWisdom
No you’re the problem then. Speed limit is irrelevant on the instate pretty much. If someone wants to go fast the move right and let them
MileHighLivin
It's a passing lane. Yield to passing traffic.
snackmanistan
In most states you're only supposed to be in the left lane of youre passing. Once you pass move over.
Drougals
And i will once i've passed every single one of these speed abiding citizens if only dorris would kindly move out the fucking fast lane.
Bob570
You're damn right.
wlfman
right, because the people who don't give a shit about speed limits surely draw the line at what lane they're supposed to be in..............
ltsDizzyD
They would if people would move over to the cruising lane.
[deleted]
[deleted]
Hardalor
Passing lane is NOT "the fast lane"... That implies going well over the speed limit is actually legal there...
spaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaccee
I don't get the downvotes for pointing out legal fact. The 'speed limit' is just that: the fastest speed legally permitted on that road.
jwillr86
thank you I got so many downvotes for pointing that out too.
ICantFeelMyToes
You did not... You're and entitled prick who wants to choose which rules of the road to follow. Passing lane and slower traffic keep right.
dobbythehouseelf
And if the people who want to go faster don't tailgate those who are going slower and trying to pass a car.
TheBurritoConfederacy
Yeah, tailgaters are pricks.
SanityIsOptional
Someone going 50 in a 65, in the fast lane, with no car in front, and a car to the right going the same. This person can be tailgated.
EggOfWisdom
Yep I’ll tailgate someone cruising in the left lane going too slow for a few seconds. Usually sends the message telling them to move
dobbythehouseelf
If they are passing a car, then no. All it does is increase the risk of an accident, make the driver nervous, and make you mad. Just don't.
Fractoman
Except he specifically stated they're going slower in the left lane.
SanityIsOptional
If they were passing, they'd be going faster. Also going more than 10 below without reason counts as impeding traffic.
DredeKnig
Tailgating is dangerous for both drivers, your reaction time is not great enough to avoid collision in case of a sudden brake.
SanityIsOptional
I have automatic braking, and since the road was open in front I can see if there's anything that would cause him to brake.
ZuIthar
*adjusts hearing aid, swerves all over leftist lane 30 mph bellow* WHAT? SPEAK UP SONNY, I CANT HEAR YOU WHEN YOU WHISPER

This. Is. The. Literal. Worst.
RogueWarrior76
I'm going 10-15 MPH over the limit passing those on right still some asshole rides my bumper like he's going run me over like a grease spot
Frogapus
Hop into the right lane for a bit and let him pass. It'll be less dangerous for you and easier for him to get a ticket.
dschico
Yup, I call these cars my radar detectors. They find all of the speed traps for me on the New Jersey Turnpike.
RogueWarrior76
I will when I can but typically it's 4 lanes of cars that don't know what sure/clear distance between vehicles means
jasongerke
You should go the speed limit in all lanes...
DemaciaRising
you should stay out of the left lane.
dragonstalker21
The left lane is not for speeding. So I am free to use the lane to drive the speed limit as I see fit. Anyone speeding should lose license.
Anonaru
Objectively speaking, forcing people to pass on the right lane is more dangerous than somebody speeding. I don't speed, but you're not 1/
Thellluminati
Not in many states. Its against the law to impede traffic. Even if you're doing 20 over and the person wants to do 21 over.
whatupmyknitters
on the other extreme: there are people who think it's their responsibility to tailgate anyone going under 100mph in any lane.
pluviofile
They don't do it to get you to move faster... just. Out of the way
Demoux28
I have my back windshield sprayer pointed out to squirt tailgaters. It's the funniest shit.
gingerlovin4u
I like you
Wing1star
Almost guaranteed to happen when the next exit is the one they are taking.
DefunkMyJunk
And they keep tailgating for kms, instead of honking or flashing lights. Tailgating is fucking dangerous as hell.
Monkeyscribed
I flash lights. People slow down rather than pull into left lane. People make me mad.
whatupmyknitters
meet @idislikecomingupwithuniqueusernames
DefunkMyJunk
They always think "it won't be me, I have excellent reaction speed"
whatupmyknitters
related: i had someone tailgate me REALLY closely in the left lane the other night, flashing his lights at me, even though i was already -
ZeDestructor
Option: lights have been flashed, horn has been honked at moron doing 20 under. Repeatedly. Then one gives up and passes in the right lane
ZeDestructor
50% of the time moron driver suddenly finds the bloody accelerator when overtaking is engaged, so one has to go 20 over to finish passing
idislikecomingupwithuniqueusernames
See to me that's just car sign language for "I would like you to slow way down." I usually oblige.
aalien
Those doing the speed limit are not slower traffic. If you want to break the rules, make sure it affects no one else.
EggOfWisdom
Effects
EggOfWisdom
Those doing the speed limit ARE the slower traffic. 55<75. Cant argue that
EggOfWisdom
And if you don’t want to break the rules stay right and let everyone else break the rules

There are two laws: speed limit, keep left except to pass. You don't get a pass on the second by following the first

Found the entitled asshole.
jwillr86
I don't think I'm entitled to anything I just go the speed limit and no faster.
xxnouseforausernamexx
Legitimately saying you are entitled to be in the passing lane while not passing and making it unsafe for faster traffic to move around you.
jwillr86
There shouldn't be any traffic faster than speed limit. The speeding traffic is what is unsafe.
EggOfWisdom
That takes way too long
Mixelphlick
Cool do so in the right lane and everyone gets along
illegalacorn
It does matter what lane you're* in. SLOW TRAFFIC KEEP RIGHT

Am I the only one who thinks right lane should be speed limit, every lane to left, add 5mph? If your in the US.
kdm36
Yes
Fuzzynubz
People are too dumb to understand that.
applesforjuice
No. Because no matter how fast you're going, stay out of the left lane unless you're passing.
Armistice023
Fast lane should be for passing, but good luck in city areas
longlivezorp
Other than the far lane for passing, but People here in Wisconsin can't figure out round abouts. Can't imagine math is gonna work out
DaDisser
Nigga left lane is passing lane. Go however fast you want, but if you arent' passing, move the fuck over.

TornadoJohnson
No no that would make too much sense.
misterschwifty
No. And god bless you.
BaconFlavoredChemicalPuffs
WRONG. The left lane is NOT the 10-15 over lane. It's the PASSING LANE.
RandomActOfConfusion
Maybe in your state it is. No such thing here.
Ben1045
Your message is so right but the caps for emphasis is so wrong. didn't down or upvote
BaconFlavoredChemicalPuffs
If you think 10-15 over in the left lane is "fast enough" and people can't pass, you are the problem.
kookyabird
If you think going 15+ mph faster than the rest of the traffic isn't dangerous then you're the problem.
BaconFlavoredChemicalPuffs
People who try to enforce their arbitrary idea of what is "fast enough" are called "Parents" in defensive driving and are road hazards
idontwannayoucantmakeme
That's how it works on the Stevenson (I-55) in Chicago. 55 right, 65 right middle, 75 left middle, gottagofast left
DigitalWaffle
I wish 10mph to each left lane. I agree with you. Speed limits here are mind boggling slow.
stanhansen
Until you crash. Even modern cars crumple like aluminum cans at 60 mph
LovelyLadyLumps
+15 if you're in Texas. So flat.
TUGboatJOB
Then you would be speeding which is illegal.
woodjoiner
Innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
gingertrain
Maybe but that's not your right to enforce.
TUGboatJOB
How do you know I'm not a cop?
sloknurd
It’s illegal - even for a cop - to disrupt the flow of traffic. If that flow is 80, it’s 80...
TUGboatJOB
What?!?! Haha if it's 55 and you're going 80, cop is going to stop you even if you're in the flow. Every right to stop unsafe driving.
redzombie
right lane is go 55, left lane is stay the fuck out this lane no matter how fast youre going unless you are passing someone.
NoLongerFoamingWolffo
Also: I'm in the left lane doing 10 over. Spot someone coming up fast behind me. Put on my blinker to move. Get whipped around on the right.

it's a shame some people don't understand this

It's sad I get weird looks from friends/family for always moving back over
UseTheForceLuke
Stay strong, brother
cancerriddenlung
What if 3 lanes on a highway?
tripnok
Far left is for passing only middle lane is cruising far right is entering/exiting traffic. It is that simple.
cancerriddenlung
I agree. I find it extremely frustrating when people try to cruise in the far right lane and don’t allow other traffic to enter.
cancerriddenlung
They even actively block people sometimes.
shuya82
Sometimes I plan to pass the entire length of the road, but I move over if someone catches me. Less lane changes that way.
bentwrenches
If I see someone coming up behind me at high speed I will move out of the left lane to let them pass, or speed up let em try to catch me.
ZennMoment
Always stay right. Even if you are changing lanes often. It helps keep your awareness up, and helps avoid super speeders from hitting you
DaveWesh
Also - cops will look at the people in the left lane first, so in the grand scheme of things, you are always safer in the right lane.
ballsohard2202
That’s simply not feasible in the Baltwash area.
