My bf does that and he says it's funny. I totally desagree so we fight sometimes.
subtleshock72000
My favorite is the side by side maneuver that NEVER GETS OLD!!! Thats y there r 2 lanes so u can ride next to ur budy! God fucking dammit!!!
willboopthesnoot
That's when I cut them off, they know what they are doing
snuffcarcass
I start playing the "drive like I'm texting" game to get them to keep the fuck away from my vehicle. And OUT OF MY BLIND SPOT, JACKHOLE
minzeyman422
I thought it was only me that happened too.
logophil4u
Yeah that’s about it
DeathByUnicornsandCandycorn
Wheres a cop when you need one.
feelthetensionsoonassomeonementionsme
you need to pass faster, helps if you have a fast car...
Nexus763
NEVER pass on the right ! Just turn on your lights. Like the big ones, and make them flash until he's blind and crash in the rail !
Gif21
With sufficient HP this problem isn't a problem.
altfiction
exactly. just quickly dart by then just watch in the rear view mirror and laugh at their rage.
bhfhf127001
Often folks will speed up when you try to pass, I think because: no cruise control and they realize how slow they were going and feel bad
barnwolf
I also think it's just a natural pacing instinct.
TetrachromanonagonINFINITY
In California, we like to play "make sure you cut off as many people as you can on your way!" can't even have emotions when I drive anymore.
WrathOfJigglypuff
No, real road rage is when they tailgate you for a mile or so, then pass you. Once they are in front, they then slow down to 30.
tjmann96
This implies that the blue car's line of sight and therefore his "plan" only extends one literal car-length down the road.
doesntmatter
Which is likely how any person who thinks like this actually thinks.
chaggaya
Pink car is probably a BMW.
BobaFettApproves
It's always a Prius out here in California. Always. In Michigan it was always a family van or a Taurus.
barnwolf
I'm the pink car and this pisses me off. I just want to merge into the right lane, but you instantly tried to pass me there.
barnwolf
You know it's illegal to pass within 100 feet of an intersection right? Stop driving so aggressively.
barnwolf
It happens when people from the freeway merge onto the slower highway. They are still going 70 in a 60 on the right. I want to exit.
FallingWithStyleSquirrel
Just a reminder to vote for more public transportation when possible.
grouchygator
Yes! Yes! I scream “Gooooooo!” at that car in front of me. Who needs words when we have memes.
TheAziz
I would write what I scream but English language doesn't have enough swear words
trimsy
That’s why you drive something that’s faster than everyone else. I’m a terrible person.
MerToo
Haha the SC AW11 is great for doing morons in SUVs under braking going into a bend that will roll them but merely please you.
Sionas
Then theres people speeding and weaving between all lanes causing eveyone to.slow down.
soopertramp
maybe just let them pass you...and dont brake unnecessarily
grapesofwrath1120
Drivers who speed and weave. They always make me wish a cop was around.
digitiliad
Sad how many comments are bragging about how they endanger themselves and others. They let any idiot drive.
Mithi
Switch to German road rules for a month. 10% will lose their DL permanently, 30% 1-3 month and fines in the upper hundreds. Repeat each year
Mithi
Stop the thinking that driving is a right.
digitiliad
It's not just the entitlement, it's completely taken for granted that people are operating dangerous equipment that can end or ruin lives
digitiliad
to the point that they brag about how bad they are at it. Most aren't even fit for public transit.
Alldrn
I would say “clearly you guys have been to Wales” but we don’t have those weird speedlmits that end in a 5
barnwolf
Ya it's kinda weird, the conversion from metric to imperial does that.
Alldrn
You guys use KPH or MPH?
barnwolf
In the US we use MPH. I don't know what Wales uses, I assume its KPH.
Alldrn
We use MPH
blexx86
If you've never experienced this scenario, then you're the problem
barnwolf
Don't try to pass people on the right. It's really simple. You assholes just like weaving through traffic.
blexx86
Retards like you, travelling in the passing lane are the ones causing the problem. Forcing people to pass on the right
barnwolf
I don't travel in the left lane. I only enter it occasionally to let traffic merge in or to pass, but you speeding little shits don't care.
AvatarTommyBee
I doubt it, I just stay at 35 and mind my business ..
3Davideo
What if I've never experienced this because I use mass transit and haven't driven in nearly a decade?
blexx86
The fact that you don't drive should have answered your question before you even typed out
3Davideo
I was trying to point out that I can both not experience this and not be the problem.
Buttstaches
Boom roasted
davidrzr
Let's not forget going 35 on the highway on rMp.
mrcanadiansorry
barnwolf
I don't think I've ever seen someone going 35 in the left line where the speed limit is 70. *Not including a traffic jam.
barnwolf
What happens is the speed limit increases from 35 to 50, and people don't wait for the car to accelerate and instantly pass on the right.
OtterlyMagnificent
And then after the lanes merge, trying to pass on the left. It's like 'Bitch I'd rather run your ass over than hit that wall, don't push 1/
OtterlyMagnificent
past me. (Oh, also, massive blind-spots. I know about them. They're obvious to anyone with eyeballs, people still like to hover in them) 2/2
mcbotulism
For me it's assholes who don't clean the snow/ice off their roof. "B-b-but I'm 4'8" and I drive an Canyonero XL!" Fuck you, not my problem.

How to bhop in paladins?
CometLaHal
Maybe midgets shouldnt be driving tanks on their commute
seltzerae
Oh okay. Yeah I totally missed the ice part, which makes sense. I’ve only ever dealt with a thin layer of powder on the roof
IFoldlyGo
Could cause this - or this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZSEzG7k3Bw

Why should snow on the roof matter if you clear the snow from all windows and headlights?

soopertramp
can u name the truck with 4 wheel drive, smells like a steak and seats 35
soopertramp
12 yards long.. two lanes wide....65 tons of american pride!
mattrixk
The trick: instead of speeding up, start gradually slowing down, they will too, then once their guard is down, fucking gun it.
mattrixk
"gun it" means fast and sudden acceleration. Please don't shoot them (no matter how much you may want to).
AirplaneNerd
This works every time... usually.
ireallylovetacos
Never tried that strategy... Thanks!
ninakazama
It's funny how people are able to find their gas pedal when someone goes around them.
soopertramp
drive a big cube van...sometimes, on windy days, its seems like people are speeding up , but really you're just breaking wind for them
soopertramp
so their foot may not be pressing any harder on the gas...its just that without the direct wind resistance they go faster
AccountCreatedToUpvoteDogs
Driving in the AZ desert. "Oh its two lanes for a mile I can finally go 80 instead of 55 as everyone tries to pass me"
soopertramp
f that shit. be stuck behind someone going 55, opens up to passing zone.now they wanna go 80, then resume 55 when single file again
AccountCreatedToUpvoteDogs
Yup, happens often, people speed up when everyone is trying to pass.
Babaloga
It's called sympathetic driving, and it's mostly subconscious.
soopertramp
I KNOW BUT.how about this...drive CONSCIOUSLY....LIKE IF U SPEED UP AND SLOW DOWN AND ENCOUNTER VEHICLES WITHOUT *THINKING* FIND A NEW HOBBY
Babaloga
You realize that the vast majority of people drive out of necessity, not because it's their "hobby," right?
pancreas
they're just oblivious to their surroundings and match speeds. I've noticed myself doing it while tired, but realized it and ceased
Hyero
I was trying to overtake someone so I could get in the lane to make a turn once and it took going 30 over before he noticed.
MerToo
They're not even aware of you. The piece of road you're confident to pass on is the same piece of road they are confident to go faster on.
zarola1
Fucking agrees. It is either malicious or mindless...oh I see another car..gotta keep up
MustyMustelidae
You guys need to commit! I'll take the chance of a ticket in the .5 seconds it takes to pass with the pedal all the way to the floor
MustyMustelidae
Don't even give them a chance to react. Sometimes I'll pass someone at 30+ over their speed and laugh at their pathetic attempt to speed up
zarola1
Yep, I've experienced it so much I've adopted the speed up fast method.

That seems so spiteful and petty considering you are also at fault, and just speaks volumes of the content of your character

Why should you get to choose how much someone breaks a law you're already breaking? Your moral high ground is a pothole.

No reason? You're blocking traffic. Of course I don't tailgate much anymore. I prefer beam flashes.

bababababababababananaboo
I wouldn’t say leading but it’s up there... if you aren’t passing in the left , move over please.
Sutashi
I'd say that last one is close if not at the top.
TheOtterGuy
that's literally the only way ohio drivers drive. Only in the left and it pisses me off every time I have to drive.
rando84
Priority in the left lane goes to whoever is most willing to risk a speeding ticket.
youcancallmesusanifitmakesyouhappy
My new solution is to get in front of them and slow down enough to force them into the right lane before moving on.
taroband
I hate slow left lane drivers. I hate police that drive in the left lane. But I like them better than police that sneak in the right lane.
WhoopityScoopPoop
If you are going speed limit and they arent, fuck em. Drive right past. They literally cant do anything you arent breaking a law
TurkTurkeIton
So you just hate police cars?
ShakerGER
Not please! FUCK THEM! In Germany if you are seen doing that shit you need to pay 50!
Odyssey9
Two semis side by side, with none passing the other, on a 2 lane highway.
higilybop
I was so confused because I'm from the UK, we pass on the RIGHT side LONG LIVE THE QUEEN
Lishida
Same here with Aus. Yes can turn red on left where signage permits it
Odyssey9
y'know with how old she is I'm starting to wonder if that's magic. ... GUYS I FOUND A WIZARD!!!
RottedOnion
Passing on the right is standard in Missouri, don't know about other places
kc913noel
What? Really. When I passed through from Kansas City to STL everyone passed on the left on I-70
CrestKnight
its the legal law in the majority of the states. most commonly its "everyone moves to the right lane unless passing someone".
SummDummFuqq
Like here if your in left lane for more than ¼ mile without passing you can be ticketed.
SummDummFuqq
Sadly you still find lots of these people jamming up the passing lanes..........
CausticCake
And no one cares if you arexgoing 15 above the speed limit, you move over if you aren't passing

Try driving in Miami and get back to me on that. Driving in a lane exposed to two traffic lanes is a deathwish here.
Badoop
I've driven in Miami and had no problems adhering to this law.
hitshappens
This isn’t a law in Florida. You just have to be going at the speed of average traffic
Badoop

MasterPrime
I lived in florida for a bit. The lane you're in doesn't really matter. They are angry drivers.
hitshappens
Except in the left lane, you can swerve out when there’s an angry driver instead of pinballing
ToBlaaaathe
I call those "Can't Pass-me-Bros"... only speed up when they realize they're being passed. I caught you on CRUSE you asshat!!

My sleeper minivan has 400 bhp. Only thing I haven't been able to pass was a riced civic

ChrisWise
The only reason I ever speed up like that is when people are uncomfortably close to my ass. If you get in the other lane I’ll slow down dude
SuicidalThrillbillyturnedLunaticChillbilly
I've goaded people into getting themselves a ticket before this way.

I've tried but never pulled it off, I envy you.

Only once, but i felt amazing. It was on the way home from my grandparents house after Thanksgiving.
grimmnir
50 times a day for me, a truck driver. Don't want truck to pass.. but also uncomfortable going over 70. So we play games for the next 200 mi
glaug
I love helping trucks, it gives me such a road safety boner watching a truck driver be able to get into my lane cuz I'm blocking for him
thrashingcows
Ain’t that the truth....I’m at 20 years as a commercial trucker. Wife wonders why I hate drivers so much!
Gordeba
I'm sadly guilty of this. I drive the speed limit (in right lane) in case the one behind me is a cop, and speed up when they drive by.
ThePiedPiperofRuination
I tried passing a sports car on an empty stretch of Interstate because I wanted go slightly faster than the speed he was going (70 mph) 1/2
ThePiedPiperofRuination
Motherfucker sped up to 90+ mph so I couldn't get ahead. I think he just didn't want to accept that my Versa was as fast as his sports car.
JaceTiger
Man, I did the same in my hatchback versa last week. Sporty hit at least 80 so I slowed back down to speed limit. He got pulled over later
thefrully
Can almost understand where they see 'shit I am going too slow' then fix the bad behaviour...then forget and slow down again.
mcdeviant
Sit on the horn.
ThatsMySecretCapImAlwaysHorny
Got a name for the "drives up your arse when there's another lane to overtake, speeds up when you move into the slow lane". There's also (1/
ThatsMySecretCapImAlwaysHorny
a variant where they speed up a bit then equalise speed to block you in lane 1 so you can't overtake further on. (2/2)
Froggie243
Illinois drivers do this all the time :(
PaulTomblin
On a long drive I’ve passed the same guy 3 or 4 times while I’m in cruise.
Isaypoopythingsbecausemostofyouannoyme
I had a fun time with one. Going 60 but every time I switched lanes he’d speed up until the next car. It was like a full size RC car.
abacab87
Sometimes I don't realize how slow I'm going until someone speeds up behind me. If I can't get over in time, I'll wait for him to pass befor
abacab87

I play a fun game called "guess the gender of the driver" when driving around these stupid people. I win at that game a lot....
Trimbl
It's mostly attack helicopters isn't it?
Sutashi
We play guess the age. The speed up as you pass tend to be middle aged guys. Just plain slow tend to be old people.
OtterlyMagnificent
What's even better is when you catch the while cruising at 65, in a 65 zone, change lanes, and are halfway past them before they start 1/

mirria
My tractor-trailer is locked at 65mph/105kph .. if they decide to accelerate there's nothing I can do.
OtterlyMagnificent
Ouch...How do you do 90 down the interstate then?
mirria
There's no highways with limits above 100 or rarely 110 kph (about 60 or 70 mph) in Canada.
Iloveweed13
In Australia you can get a fine for speeding up while being overtaken
mirria
Sure, but try finding a cop paying attention to notice that, at that location and time.
Sutashi
From my understanding just about everything results in a fine or the loss of your car in Australia.
Iloveweed13
In theory you’re right but cops don’t give a shit about tailgating which is super shitty because there is legislation against it
glaug
It really is bizarre. I remember one time I had plenty of room to move over so I could turn left into a Wawa. Driver far behind me sped up »
myblueballsarekillingme
Wawa?
Legend2562
It's a convenience store/gas station more in like New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Super popular over here. Plans to expand more too.

I drove box trucks for a while - ppl would CONSTANTLY do this to me. Had to start hitting the blinker AS I was merging

was the most bizarre thing, worst driving experience I had had in the world, got out of Houston was fine.
