Problems with people on the road?

I drive on this highway on the way to school. I drive 55 miles per hour on the left lane of the highway. People always hug my rear and sometimes flash their lights. What should I do?

Get out of the way. Does the road belong to you? If they want to go faster than you, then get over. Who do you think you are that is why it is called the FAST LANE. Did you read the rules of the road before getting your drivers liscense or is it just your world that you are intitled to whatever you please.

Maybe you could drive in the right lane instead. Some drivers on the left tend to speed, and those who dont keep up become a victim of their aggression. I would save yourself the stress and stear clear of them!

In the US you should be in the far right lane. when autos flash lights it indicates that there is more than one vehicle behind you that you are obstructing the desired traffic flow. never drive in the left lane with a set speed unless it is with the pace of other vehicles. If the highway speed limit is 55, you are not breaking any laws. you are most likely not breaking any laws period. You may be driving legally, but not as safe as you might think.
Blocking the flow of traffic only causes people to perform hazardous moves around and close to your vehicle. Causing vehicles to pass you on your right side is dangerous. best to be toward the right side of the road if the traffic flow dictates a speed higher that the posted max.





If you are in the UK then you are where you should be let them go around you.

Move to the right lane where you should be anyway.


Friendly Stranger..
You need to move out of their way. If you see someone riding your tail and they are flashing their lights that means they want you to either speed up or move. Also it could be an issue because the left lane is fast lane. The right lane is considered the slow lane. Move over to that lane if you want to drive slower.

It depends. When you are in the left lane, are you engaged in passing another vehicle? If not, then I would say you should probably be driving in the right lane, until you need to pass. If you are passing and they are still riding your ***, you could try speeding up a little bit to pass the slower vehicle a little faster. Notice I said speed up A LITTLE, as in 5 mph, NOT 20 mph. If you speed up to pass quicker and this still isn't good enough for the almighty tailgaters who think they own the road, then screw them. You did what you could to try to get out of their way quickly, and if that's not good enough for them, then too bad for them.

Just remember to stay right except to pass. When you pass, if possible, try to carry it out as quickly as you can without going too far above the speed limit. I know I get people riding my bumper when I'm in the RIGHT lane, and it annoys me because if I'm going too slow for them in the right lane, then they should just pass me in the left lane. Either way, just stay right except to pass. Hope this helps.


on my 4th account :(

I call you/the other people that do that left lane loafers. its very simple get in the left lane pass car/cars after you pass slow cars move over to the right lane. In my state we call it the hammer lane. so if your in it you better be hammering or my truck will be riding your ***.

2 things come to mind right off the bat...."SLOWER TRAFFIC KEEP RIGHT" and "KEEP RIGHT EXCEPT TO PASS". And be glad you're not on a NASCAR track. They would do what they call a "Bump and run" (or for Kyle Bush, a "Smash and dash").
