I guess 80 mph is the new 65 mph

So you think the proper response to impeding traffic, even with an impatient driver, is to DELIBERATELY AGGRAVATE other drivers?

At least we know some of the other drivers' rage is legitimate as others intentionally agitate them :R

It's really simple. If you aren't overtaking or don't want to drive faster, STAY RIGHT. Fortunately many states are passing laws to fine drivers deliberately impeding traffic and irritating other drivers by driving slowly in the passing lanes.

You are incorrect. If you are already in the right lane the next recommend step is to slow down to give the opportunity and encouragement for them to pass.

Which part is incorrect? Laws about staying right when not passing are clear. Irritating drivers, especially on purpose, is not wise and adds to the frustration and risks of travel.

You do mention something about already being in the right lane, but that wasn't what I posted about. If you don't want to drive at traffic speed, the right lane is the appropriate place to be.

When hauling heavy, that is where you'll find me much of the time, too ;)

What is incorrect is your response to the suggestion of slowing down for tailgaters.

I think you ALL missed what I was saying. I quit driving interstates for all these reasons. Even slowing down (and yes in the right lane) did not help. So all the speed demons can go ahead and continue playing with fate. At least I won't be in their way to slow them down. I enjoy roses and the smell of coffee! I don't want to smell roses from six feed down! Secondary roads are much more friendly.
