Man, this thread turned into a train wreck. Some of you guys have anger management issues. Be courteous on the road and folks will be courteous back. Drive like a hooligan or a slow left lane poot head brake checking everybody, you may pay the price. I have seen both sides of the street the last few months in my area. If you guys could just stay away from me, I will be much happier.

This thread gave me a renewed appreciation for driving here in Germany.

You are lucky. I wish it was that way here. I would be cooking into work and home everyday with a smile on my face.

I'm in full agreement about just taking the high road and letting whoever by and through and I'm not seeing eye-to-eye with the speed they want to run at.

But the mentality and whatever complex of other drivers in the city can be something else, particularly in lane-blocking situations. I'll make the point if safe: it's not their lane, they're not fast the fastest car on the road, quite frankly I can control the relationship between myself and the other car as I please if we really want to go that route.

The other day when I was looking to get in a lane....guy who was already in it and ahead was moving pretty slow so I figure I'll casually pass, then switch over. This guy keeps matching to deny me. All of a sudden he ****ing cares.

Not to give off the impression I'm reckless (no excuses but yeah it was a clear road), but by the time I could get in the lane, he must've literally topped out (older Cherokee). Of course I could've just taken the position at will if I really wanted, but the lengths people can go to desperately and pointlessly have their way.

And that's "taking the high road"?

Did you read his post? Or are you just trying to

?

Taking the high road was clearly in reference to letting others pass. He then gave an example of trying to pass someone who couldn't take the high road and just let him by. So the answer to your question is no, the Cherokee did not take the high road nor was it ever suggested that he did.

I just got back from Orlando and holy chit, the crappy drivers abound....

The speed limit on I4 is 70 mph, but you couldn't prove it by me. Those that weren't doing 80, passing to the right and left of the middle lane; were doing 55 in the hammer lane (and all the other ones too).

Then I got to spend a lovely 4 hours getting from Orlando to Sarasota on Thursday..... this is normally a 2 hour trip. I left Orlando at 1, it took me 45 minutes to go 3 miles..... needless to say, when I got to Sarasota and caught up with my friends, we went straight to the bar. They asked the waitress to give me a double Patron, with the explanation that I just got in from Orlando.... in the idiot traffic....

The speedlimit from mile 65 to 90 is actually all between 50-65 mph lol. Everyone does 80 through the downtown area though (50 mph limit) while construction is going on.

Because I haven't been on the forums and was catching up since my previous post and expounding for ghostvette. It's barely 'old'. Pretty sure i'm from Florida considering the context

Also more people might now view "GTFO unless you're passing"
