I think I see your problem...

That is absolutely false. Ducklings catch you and slow down. They don't cruse
at _their_ speed, ever. They cruise at _someone else's_ speed.

I don't. I just make 'em go around on the right if they _really_ want to pass.
Lots of 'em don't - they just want to be close to someone while they travel.
If they tailgate, then OK, I may try to dump them. If they sit on my right
rear, they get scraped off at the next slower car in the right lane.

I cruise in the left lane. I don't block the road. The idea that you can't
block the left lane is just a notion you have in order to have something to
complain about. But practically, you can quit bitching and just pass me on the
right. I really don't care.

Naw, its no typo. Its the most common form of misspelling that word. I just
thought you might want to look it up and correct yourself before you do it
someplace important and make yourself look uneducated...

Its because this is Virginia, where they have all these really over-the-top
laws that give you 6 points for a "reckless driving" ticket that amounts to no
more than simply going 20 over the limit, or even 80 mph on an Interstate where
the limit is 65, and whole lots of people are doing almost 80 anyway.

I'll be quite glad to leave the area when I retire, and gettting away from this
highway harrassment will be a significant reason. In the midwest, if someone
catches you, the _mostly_ pass you. Here they mostly pass you too, but not at
nearly the same frequency. Lots more people slow down to your speed...

Speed up and get nicked for a $100 ticket on this really heavily patrolled
road. Sure. Do it 2 or 3 times in succession, and lose your license. Right.
I live about 20 miles out of town. I'd likely have to abandon the place and
get an apartment in town in order to survive, so I could walk to restaurants
and shopping for the duration of a suspension, even if I did get the common
exception to "drive to work".

The "known revenue zone" is the entirity of rt. 3 that I normally drive.

That would be rt 3, too. It _usually_ doesn't have a lot of cars on it.

I do, but it doesn't help a bit unless I want to actively **** off someone by
jumping out in front of them and blocking them. They don't react badly to
simply having to pass on the right, but they do get ****ed when people jump out
to block them.

>He seems to want to be oblivious to traffic in other lanes.

I just don't want to be forced into ****ing people off with the gyrations that
keep getting suggested here, nor do I want to "speed up to pass" and get a $100
traffic ticket.
