This is probably the thing people understand the least about the left lane, and I bet this guy is one of em.

It doesn't matter what speed you are passing, as long as you are passing (and of course if you are barely passing youre a dick).

But not because im passing 10km/h faster and you want to pass 30km/h faster, that I need to move out of the way. Flashing your lights and putting your blinker only makes me want to pass slower. The left lane is not reserved for the fastest driver on the road.

Yes, passing lane – not fast lane.

If someone starts aggressively flashing their lights behind me I like to assume they are trying to alert me that I'm driving too fast and should slow down immediately lol

I assume they're having an emergency. Or they're a raging asshole. In either case it's not a great idea to play games with them. If you ever fuck around and find out I hope you'll come tell us about it so I can gloat.

I sometimes wonder who died and made them all highway patrol. I just want to get home safe, can people just not fucking ego trip behind the wheel of the 2 ton deathmobile?

Frankly it’s harder than you think for many, the only thing that calms me down and makes me drive absolutely great is weed but I hesitate to drive mildly high too often to not get caught randomly by some pig.

Also it seems like the more time I am driving the more bmw drivers and bmw drivers without bmw piss me off.
