The assumption that people speed because they are late for something is very, very flawed....

 

I agree. I just like to ride fast, without being wreckless. And when I ride above the speed limit, there are usually several of us, spaced apart safely. Just moving along without impeding anyone. If someone comes up behind me, I move over and let them have the lane. As I am SUPPOSED to do. Not a ticket in 20 years, no moving violations. And I put over 400 miles per week on my truck, not counting weekends on the HD.

Perhaps some of these guys need a little scooter, lmao.

Kinda strange that the ones putting in the big cams and hi performance add-ons don't believe in riding 10 over the limit, lol. Don't be scared, just stay out of they way!

 

in florida the left lane is not a passing lane, that was repealed all lanes are just lanes of traffic. i feel if i am in the left lane and going above the speed limit (normally i go 75ish) and i am generally passing people. then when you get behind me i will look for a safe place to change lanes and let you pass. If you tailgate i will find the SLOWEST semi and keep pace and give you a middle finger.

 

No wonder road rage is so prevalent in Florida. If you aren't impeding traffic, there is no tailgating, not in the left lane anyway.

 

So you're allowed to be a ***** on the road, but others can't? Gotcha.

 

My thoughts exactly. Equal rights my ****!

 

you are so wrong. the right lane is the travel lane, the left lane is the passing lane. when you are done passing, you are supposed to get back in the right lane. even in the backward state of la. in fact, they just passed a law that makes it illegal to drive for long periods in the left lane, and you can get a ticket for impeding traffic in the left lane, regardless of how fast (or slow) you think they should drive.

isn't that exactly what you're doing? you are going to run the speed limit in the left lane because i shouldn't be driving that fast, by your own admission. if i am driving faster than you, then when its safe i'm gonna pass you.

i hope you **** off a sheriff one day. maybe then you'll get the education you so badly need. in the meantime, try re-reading your driving handbook. i would bet that it says to 'stay right, unless passing'.....

 

wow... you touring guys.... and the
giant on the sporty... really have a hard on for the left lane.....
and thats it...
you guys are weird.....
speeding.... facts.... felonies.... nope, not an issue.....
left lane...
either die or go to jail.....
and i have no common sense?????


And it was posed.. how is the left safer....

WELL....
when it happens.... only when.... cars pass me on one side.... this is seldom...
in the middle... cars jockeying everywhere... in out.. slowing speeding... reading texting.. etc, all around you..
Right lane.... cars merging at every on ramp.. texting reading, eating makeup.... going to slow.. not looking.. etc
pplus the cars that are in and out of the 2 right lanes in the nascar race... drafting, passing, on and on...
So yes, As a motorcyclist, among brothers and sister.. i thought... thought wrong.. touring guys and giants on sportys are all for one get out of the way types it seems..
I protect myself and those that ride with me....

You folks in your groups, switching lanes constantly must have great rides and get togethers.... you know, when all of you finally meet up at the destination...
There is no earthly way you all stay together , unless you are the road block doing 45 or 50 in the middle lane or right lane trying to stay together...

keep preaching on your high horses, (and tiny sportys)..... wishing death upon me.. and nice tickets.....
you guys really are an awesome group of brothers...

 

Oh damn....
Your problem is easily diagnosed. You are an idiot.
You see, if you were the only person on the road then you could ride as you wish and obiously no one would care. Unfortunately though, millions of others also use the road and if everyone drove the way they 'liked'... Well hopefully you get the idea.

Quite simply, the left lane is used for passing vehicles which are travelling slower than you. Once you complete the pass you go back into the center or right lane. You do this so that others who are travelling faster than you (and it is none of your business if they choose to do so) can do as you just did. And this is the reason why you are an idiot...
You feel you have the right to use the left lane to pass slower vehicles BUT other's don't. You believe you have the right to dictate speed in the left lane. You feel cause you "like cars only passing me on one side, dont want to deal with on coming vehicles.." that everyone should bend to your wishes....

Quite simply you do not belong on the highway. I am also betting you don't fit well into society also. The general rules of civility don't suit you do they?.... Mommy and Daddy told you you were special. Well guess what? You're not. Most people figure that out before they leave their teenage years behind.

You need to be dragged off your high horse and beaten till you can no longer plead for mercy but likely somebody in a cage will take you out before then.

Damn I can't believe I finally met one of you! I have been waiting for years to learn the rational behind your ignorance.
