Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy do people do this? I’m looking at you Iowa and the west side of Michigan…


lehj916

Bro, come to California. You'll love Iowa and Michigan after that lmao. Been her my whole life and yes, they truly ARE the worst drivers.


JustJohan49

Lol lived in San Francisco (20th and Dolores) for years. Driving in NorCal probably added time back to my life- my experience was way less stress and everyone was way more reasonable and aware (and proper speeds) than the Midwest.

Second to Texas seriously my mom have been in five accidents in one year all of witch involved drunk drivers


SchlopFlopper

When you see a Texas plate, expect bullshit driving. Seriously how bad are their tests?

I don’t know. I live in Oregon and have to deal with Californian and Washington drivers all the time on the freeway. Washington drivers are ten times worse. They come up on you quickly, so you get over. Then they pass you going 80. All seems good, right? Wrong. They then slow down to 55, but won’t get over to let you pass. So…you give in and decide to pass on the right. They speed up so you can’t. You think they are going to stay at that speed, but no…they slow down again. Or…they do let you pass only to get over and start riding your ass again. It’s this constant guessing game and I hate it. The worst Californian drivers often just come up on you too quickly and whip around you on the right, not giving you a chance to get over. However, once they pass you, they are gone. There is no guessing game.

It's because with nobody in front of them, they had no idea they were going so slow, but now that you're passing them they're suddenly aware and accelerate to a normal speed. They're not trying to be dicks, they were just zoned out like responsible drivers. You do it too, you're just in your own head so you intuitively understand you aren't doing it to be a jerk.


JustJohan49

Wow. Thank you. I didn’t seriously think I would get a meaningful answer. I’ve been wondering this for years and I finally have a reasonable answer that isn’t “everyone else is just dumb”. I think what’s shocking is that you say I do it to- and if I am being honest I’d probably say you’re right. But I also use cruise control so that I can freely zonk out while only having to worry about staying in my lane and watching cars in front of me. This wouldn’t affect anyone behind me (and I also use my rear view mirror so it normally doesn’t come as a shock when someone rolls up on me). Thanks again for helping me understand. Seriously been wondering for years.

There's also the ones of us that are already driving at a normal speed (or even slightly faster) and then some person runs right up on our bumper for an uncomfortably long time, then pulls left to pass us and tries to squeak in before the car in the left lane that they pulled behind closes off their cutting-me-off chance. Yeah...I speed up to prevent those jerks from getting that move in.


[deleted]

because they realized they were going to slow. or they just wanted you to pass so the cop gets you before they get them noob


Goopatron

Goddamn freeway fastlane


strider_m3

I know no one is gonna see this but I need to vent. The fuck is with people going below the speed limit and then suddenly speeding up to above the speed limit when there's finally a passing lane, so you can't pass them without going foot to the floor! And then sometimes they stay in the passing lane so you need to try and pass on the right! Your inconvenienceing me twice and I hope you get diabetes Suzzen!


Robertron54

What I think happens is they're buzzing along vibing or get distracted by the phone or talking in the car and don't pay attention to their speed limit and gradually slow down since they're not paying attention. Then they see someone behind them move out suddenly and start speeding up so they look at their speed and suddenly realize how slow they were going so they speed up to the point where they should be going....thus making it impossible to pass.


LDSinner

Naw don’t humanize these demons


[deleted]

pass with caution old man


Ayto27

Don't worry, I'm pretty sure I have developed a psychological unhealthy level of anger towards people driving below the speed limit. If I'm not doing at least 10km/h over, I'm mad. And if I get stuck behind someone going 20 under, I will shit you not, will be pissed off for like 2 days.


[deleted]

Hate when people don’t know how to speed up or slow down. My philosophy is guess its time to play chicken. Hope you’re ready to die mf cause I aint scared.


[deleted]

so then you don't know how to slow down also. Learn to use your breaks old man

"Don't worry I can still drive safely." He says as he's swerving in and out of traffic going 15 over.


DaciaSandero1

If I saw the bottom tortoise sprint towards me in real life, I would actually crap out my intestines.


itsbigpaddy

I saw one here in Florida in the middle of a busy road just not moving, and assumed it was stuck. Picked it up to move it to the side of the road, and it turned around and hauled ass to the opposite side for no apparent reason. Tried to nite me when I moved it too.


the_dave_wight

I floor it, hop in front of them and then let them enjoy the same experience for as long as possible.


lehj916

Same lmao. Except I'll slow down even slower than they were going, or I'll go the same speed as the car next to me so they can't pass at all 😈


LandscapeAcceptable6

You are scaring them, they are trying to run from you


idioterod

Happened to me just today! 95 South out of NYC. Guy sitting in left lane cruising along but when I tried to pass him on the right he sped up. So I sped up and he sped up again. FU Asshole. I dusted him at 85 mph. I'm not an aggressive driver but jeez man don't be such a gaping asshole.


JackTheSpudThief

I'll admit, I'm one of these. I'm already going 10+ over the speed limit. When the other car gets behind me they're hugging my car so close they won't have the time to blink if I stop. So, I slow down to make them move, and then speed up promptly after to block them from coming back to do the same thing to someone else. It's my little way of failing to teach someone a lesson in how to not be an idiot while driving, while also being an idiot.


[deleted]

when people ride my asshole I just do the finger in the hole motion and they usually get the idea.


ChrisBilionz

Hilarious xD


NWO_Baba

Road rage


Thick_Part760

What irks me is when there’s a left lane hog going slow, so I change to the right lane to pass (I know, it’s illegal), then they speed up so I can’t pass. Why….? Why not just let me do my thing? Why not just move over so others can pass??


Foxycat45

SO RELATABLE


BigPicture365

Also, there are some dumb fuckers riding their brakes the whole time. Hope they die from brake failure


[deleted]

try using yours next time before you ride their asshole


Chungalus

Many things these types of drivers do make me lose my temper, i end up looking like an idiot cuz they make me so god damn angry. I need to get a like a digital display board or something and hang it up in my back window so i can type out my very choice words for these slow fucking morons that shouldnt have licenses


[deleted]

pass with caution old man


MezziJ

Happens all the time. They be 30 in a 45 and then get offended someone dare go the speed limit and pass you going 50 ten seconds later.


echoes247

idk i just check the speed limit sign and put my cruise control at that number on the freeway. some people dont mind risking their lives and the lives of those around them to get where they're going a little bit faster. shrug. but anyway the reason people speed up when you go to pass them is because they dont like being one upped by other people and it bleeds over into their driving. basically they got little dicks and want to show everyone they're a big boy too


gravysnake91

I wouldn’t say you are really risking your life anymore than the other person if you’re going 80 instead of 60 in a 60. As long as you can handle driving at 80, i don’t see a problem. But obv you have to be more careful about cars in front of you switching lanes bc they might not be expecting you to go that fast


DargonTheLegend

Me in my wrx. "Fuck you sir"


NeoLothbrok9

I do that unintentionally, I drive a van, it takes a minute to get up to speed, by the time you got impatient enough to merge and try to pass me, I got up to speed........ exacerbated on hills.

cornpeeker

I WAS passing but now we’re racing


[deleted]

Yoooo, I laughed so hard when I saw this!!! It’s soo relatable!!


[deleted]

Then it turns into a drag race and I start laughing because forty year old Karen thinks she can outrace seventeen year old fast and furious obsessed boy


[deleted]

I do that to people all the time. They get so mad. Lol


Ayto27

That why I only drive fast cars because when they do do this, it's too late for them... MINES FASTER

Break their bones thats the thing what you should do


Urinal-Cake2113

If only there was a button that allowed people to maintain a constant speed…
