How do they catch you,then???
And what are you doing while this is starting?

Like what? Jump out in the "passsing lane" and _BLOCK_ him? People know when
they're being screwed with, and it ****es them off. That's a really bad idea.

Look, you can't go jumping out in front if every car that's approaching you in
the left lane and hold them up, and ****ing them off because you actively
blocked them, in case one might be a duck.

I stay left, and it actively blocks them from becoming a duck on my left rear,
and it _doesn't_ **** 'em off. They either duckling on the right, which isn't
a problem 'cuz I soon scrape them off, or they go on around. Either way, I
don't **** 'em off with an offensive manuever.

I do, and I don't wait 'til its too late. I just set up the situation so its
not a problem for anyone. Traffic flows smoothly. Nobody gets held up.

You're the one without a clue, as you don't realize your method has a higher
risk of getting shot or some other adverse road-rage induced action. You can't
be jumping out in front of people to block them without ****ing them off.

That is absolutely false. If they can creep up, then they're going faster. If
they weren't going faster, they couldn't catch me. I'm doing 62, they're
probably doing 64 or 65. That's faster.

Tough ****. If he's going to drive left, he has to expect being passed on the
right. NO, that wasn't the initiation, either. The initiation was his jumping
in the left lane to block me. He performed an offensive, rude action, and was
the 1st one to do it.

They're going to want to do it more if I jump out and specifically block just
them. That's a personal offense.

When there's no one else around, they _of course_ have to proceed at their own
speed. You have to use some basic logic here. But in the presence of other
cars, they drive the speed of the other car.

>And what are you doing while this is starting?

I'm watching them approach, and not assuming they're going to slow down to my
speed.

If I did assume they were going to slow down to my speed, I'd get in the left
lane.

Oh, wait - that's what I do anyway - I just don't jump out in front of the
other driver and **** him off, 'cuz I'm already there...

I do. Its just that I did it at the beginning of the drive. Now you've got
the right idea - a car in the left lane that hasn't changed lanes within sight
doesn't **** people off. That's just what I've been saying. I just do it
initially, people are _not_ ****ed off, and the whole thing runs a lot more
smoothly.
