My business partner broke up with one chick he really liked, because when she was driving on the highway she really believed she had total right to stay in the left lane and drive the speed limit. She even said no one should have to go faster than her. He told her she was a *ucking idiot and broke up with her on the spot.

On my many road trips I often come across the left lane bandit that has no intention of letting anyone pass them. They will drive one MPH over the limit at most until they get to a point when the right lane is clear, then speed way up to prevent anyone passing, and slow down once they come to the next truck.

Back when I was commuting daily I was headed home and a Honda "boy racer" with huge spoiler front and a giant wing on the back was right on my bumper. I was changing lanes to go to the interstate exchange on the right. I could easily see a huge tire tread in that lane, so I waited until I was past the tread to change lanes. The idiot tailgater figured he would jump over into the exit lane and drive on the yellow stripped shoulder before the exit lane to beat me to the exit. He was committed to that lane and then saw the tire tread, and it destroyed his front end. I just smiled, and took my exit as planned. If he had been at a safe distance behind me, and not tailgating he could have seen the tire tread and avoided it. It was much like the ladder video above.
