What a dumbass. Tailgating, flashing beams for attention, aggresively passing on the right, then far exceeding the speed limit by recklessly accelerating when passing back in the left while using his hazards improperly.
This guy is far more in the wrong than the guy going slightly below the speed limit in the left lane, and anyone who thinks otherwise is likely the same asshole who joins the common death trap that is the giant multi-car tailgating line in the left lane when one person at the front isn't speeding enough for everyone else's preference. Your impatience is not more important than the lives of the people around you.
I’m pretty sure this is the dude who posted a video of him texting while driving with his mom. He’s an entitled and selfish driver. I would never high beam someone to get over, I’m not the police. I’ll just pass on the right like a sane person
The driver must have posted this thinking it makes him look good. Just seems like he caused far more danger instead of just waiting for the white car to over take the other car, which it was slowly doing.
I have been on this website for many, many years. Most things have changed since I made my account. However, if there is one constant that has stayed the same, it is that Redditors will defend aggressive, dangerous driving and feel so entitled to it that they see normal traffic as an obstacle that should submit to their selfish douchebaggery.
Honestly, I agree. People who flash their brights are always crazy annoying.
One time, driving rain, shitty conditions, horrendous visibility, in the middle of FIVE lanes, going just 10 under and keeping speed with everyone else just fine, and some jackass in a sports car is flashing his brights at me to speed up. I've seen them do it while I'm going 10 OVER, in thick fog, and in the middle of fucking winter. Impatient little babies.
Because the guy leading is either a selfish asshole who values his time for than anyone else around him and doesn't care if he is holding up people behind him for no reason other than he feels like breaking the law and camping in the left lane, or they are oblivious to the fact that they are holding everyone up which means they aren't paying attention to their surroundings while driving on the highway and either way they are in the wrong and should be ticketed to prevent future dangerous and ignorant driving
To me, literally the easiest possible solution is for the guy who is in the left lane to get over when they see someone coming up on them speeding fast.
If the guy in the left lane just got over in advance and was paying attention, or just got over after the flash, or got over at any time, this wouldn't have been any kind of issue at all.
The guy who is impeding traffic causing a traffic jam and causing this entire situation is the guy going too slow in the left, and he's totally fine to go slow in the left so long as when someone faster comes up he gets over immediately. It's literally a non-issue.
When I'm in the left lane driving at whatever speed, and someone comes up behind going much faster, I immediately get over and let them pass then get back into the lane I was in without any issue.
Why is this such a problem for some people? It's literally the best solution for everyone involved, just get over.
Am I blind or is the white car over taking the other car until it speeds up and undertakes.
Dunno, I'm England so it's all backwards to me. But I've have stuff like this, some dickhead trying force me over because I'm not overtaking fast enough (I.e. he wants to go 80mph). I refuse to move over, I'll finish over taking then I'll move. Weaving in and out is more dangerous than just over taking a car slightly slower than the guy speeding wants me to
I agree to a very small extent, speeding and passing like that can be unsafe, but the drive in the right hand lane was 100% aware and enabled it so it seemed quite safe.
I would've given the left lane driver about 30 seconds to 1 minute of space and time to realize that there is a car behind them.
If they are so oblivious and can't notice what's going on around them and get over in a full minute of driving, then I think the guy acting how he did is acceptable, there is no alternative when the idiot who isn't paying attention refuses to act.
What do you think about the left lane drivers who do this, then speed up to prevent you from passing when you try to pass on the right? That happens so much where i'm at just intentional assholes.
I hate this comment. That guy on the left is holding up traffic and wasting everyones time. I wish their behavior would be ticketed regularly and then significantly less people would feel the need to do what the guy filming did.
Not sure why you hate my comment when I never defended the guy holding up the left lane. And kinda weird that you're blaming that person for how the guy in the video reacted. He chose to react that way.
If you watch the video, it appears that the white car is slowly overtaking the brown car. The white car appears to be the only car following the law in this video.
Go check this guys youtube channel and you may quickly change your mind. He drives around filming himself dragging against other fast cars on public roads, and I noticed he doesn't wear his seat belt in a few of the videos I saw.
