She shows her speedo at under 50 MPH. Also notice how many left turn pull outs she passes. This person is just as guilty of road-rage if not more-so than the pick-up driver. She had many, many opportunities to just let this guy pass and go about his business but clearly that is not what she had in mind. I don't see how anyone could condone her left-lane-bandit, enforcer attitude that could have ended up deadly but whatever...

So you expect her to pull into a left turn lane that she isn't going to use just to let this guy pass?
I guess next time I get tailgated on the highway and the right lane is blocked I'll just pull into one of the turnarounds in the median to let them pass.
And again, she was planning on making a left hand turn. There is no problem staying in the left lane when your turn is coming up, even if you piss off the car behind you, especially when the road is wet as it was that day and weaving in and out of a line of semis (which is a stupid idea even in ideal road conditions) just to appease some idiot in a hurry could result in you wrecking yourself.
If she was riding the left lane for five miles going 10 under the limit then yeah you'd have a point. But seeing as her turn was coming up in a short distance and she was moving at a reasonable speed given the conditions, you don't.
The only thing she did wrong honestly was filming the whole thing because that is distracted driving. Otherwise, I see no problem with what happened and obviously FHP didn't either.
