But LLBing -IS- "doing something dangerous",and that is exactly what you
are doing by not STKR. Blocking faster traffic IS LLBing,undesirable,and
creating a worse hazard than "speeding".

The real key is,in your own words "that I don't want to do".
You're gonna do what you want regardless of what's right,the law,or just
courtesy.

They are responding to YOUR being rude in LLBing.

It's not impatience,they have STKR which -you- are NOT following,thus YOU
are the rude one.

"SLOWER traffic keep right".

No,it's not.Faster than what they're trying to pass.
(why would one have priority over traffic they've already passed????)

Being in the passing lane is NOT an exclusion to STKR.
That is what an LLB is!! A slower vehicle holding up faster traffic,*in
violation of STKR*.

You're just playing dumb to create an excuse for not doing the right thing.
I know you really are not this stupid.

LLBing is;a SLOWER vehicle blocking FASTER traffic from passing in the
passing lane.

I KNOW you are not stupid.

STKR is not limited by posted speed limits.It has no reference to posted
speed limits.In some states,the law specifically says speed limits do not
nullify STKR(by permitting police to cite violators of STKR even if the
blocked traffic is "speeding".).States are recognizing that your LLBing is
more dangerous than so-called "speeding".Police already know this.
When are you going to recognize it?

But STKR does.

No,they are just speeders as defined by law.
There are LEOs who enforce those limits(or not);let them do it.
It isn't your job.

Once again,expecting others to follow STKR is NOT bullying.
Being blocked by LLB's is not bullying.
Speeding is not "bullying".

From all your posts,you are just another wanna-be traffic "enforcer".

They are not forcing,STKR means you are expected to stay out of their way.
Otherwise,you are LLBing.
That's what STKR means.

The real bully is the one blocking faster traffic. The LLB.
They KNOW they are not supposed to block,but they do it anyways.

Not if you're blocking faster traffic in the passing lane.
(not on city streets;STKR is not posted there)

That's what STKR means.
"SLOWER traffic keep right" (to allow FASTER traffic to pass!!)

Intended to prevent LLBers like you.

They know they are LLBers and MFFY drivers.
They are just trying to rationalize it.

I was driving the mustang at the time and didn't downshift... even then
it felt sluggish. I found the floor mat had slid up under the accelerator
preventing me from pushing it down appropiately.

You must have pulled this assumption out of your arse, Scott.

And then there are those traffic bullies who check to see the race/gender of
the driver in their way so they can call them by the appropriate
racist/sexist name.
