AMEN !


I actually use my mirrors and on the rare occasion that someone is closing in on me ,I pull to right lane and let them go past me . If I can't pull down due to traffic I ignore them until I can.
For all of you people that do the windshield washer trick I say thanks, I have gotten more than one free windshield cleaning in my time. Hint for you guys water or windshield cleaner doesn't hurt me....just move out of the way. If you only drive at no more than the speed limit thats fine but some of us go over that limit on a regular basis and don't need you blocking the road. Just move over and we will be out of your life in no time with no drama.
If you look in front of you and there is nobody there, then look behind you and there is a line of cars..... you are the problem,move over to let traffic pass. Thank you.
What are you talking about ? Flow of traffic? You think me doing the SPEED LIMIT on a City Street is impeding traffic . Seriously. there's 3 lanes and it happens no matter what lane someone is in .I got a speeding ticket two years ago, and i'm in no mood to get another one. Somebody wants to do 55 in 45 on a City Street and you think that's 'flow of traffic'. wow.
By the way for your information i've been to driver's school for another earlier ticket. There is no 'Fast Lane' for people to go over the speed limit.

i've done it many, many times. they always slow way down. besides, if they hit me, it's their fault. a rear ending accident is always their fault. i don't do it at highway speeds, only on back roads, and it always has the desired effect.

I've seen "tailgaters" where the "tailgating" car was equipped with red and blue flashing lights, sometimes inside the car where you can't see them as well. Just sayin' . . .

Ha ha, I always glance at my speedo every time someone is close behind me just to make sure I'm not going the same speed as that white sign.
