I am a little torn here. Do I move over for people who want to pass? Absolutely. But I have also been in a situation where you have the cruise set and a passing a line of say three closely packed cars and somebody comes right up on your but about 30 mph faster (when I'm already doing 10-15 over the limit) and decides to ride your ass for no reason. They don't even give you the OPPORTUNITY to move over. And yes, its usually some redneck in a truck that is doing it because they don't like your "little toy car." Then usually once they pass you they slow way down because they are now afraid to be out in front and get a ticket.
It was the "I have road raged over all kinds of people" that gets the thumbs down. I have a freind that want to always set the speed everyone else can travel in his big ram. If you want to pass, he will clog the left to show you how cool he is. If you pass him, he will move left, get on your ass and tailgait you. Even if he was fine doing sixty, he will chase you all the way up to 100 because you had the nerve to pass him. This sounds a little like him.

There was a truck directly to my right that was going slightly slower than me. Unless I wanted to hit it, I couldn't move over anyway. She was being a bitch, so I decided to slow down to piss her off more.
If she was in an emergency situation she would have had her flashers on.
2 miles over the speed limit my ass, like I've said before, I'm not moving for anybody. If you have a problem with the speed I'm going it's on YOU to move, not me.

How does that saying go... anyone driving slower than you is an idiot, anyone driving faster is an ass. It doesn't matter what speed a driver is going, that's what goes through their heads. I bet if you were in her position, you'd be complaining about how she didn't get out of your way.
Fwiw, when you are passing traffic, you really should be going at least 5 mph faster than the traffic you are overtaking - keeps you out of the dangerous lanes and blind spots of other motorists.

I couldn't care less that she passed me. She dangerously changed two lanes to the right and sped around the car that was directly to the right of me...all the while turning her whole body around in her car mouthing at me. I don't take shit from anybody. Run your mouth, and you will have to deal with what I choose to do to you.

It was a middle aged woman in a brand new range rover. I was going 67 in a 65 in the far left lane. I was passing everyone in the two lanes to my right, thus me being in the left lane was warranted. Well here comes this boss hoggin suv on my ass, flashing her brights, turning on her turn signals and telling me to move over. Me, being the piece of shit human being that I am, slow down accordingly. She fly's by me in the far right lane because a gap opened then looked back at me and was mouthing shit. I safely downshift, and get on her ass halfway in the shoulder so I could see her in her sideview. I was mouthing swear words and flipping her off for about 10 miles. Then I got in front of her, slowed down...and pretty much harassed her for about 15 minutes. I think she was about to cry.
If this was your mother, tell that bitch of a woman to stop acting so hard in her suv unless she's going to get out and throw down. She's lucky I just cleaned out my cup holder...I had lots of coins in there a week ago that would have blended in nicely with her front bumper.
She did receive a complemetary marlboro No. 27 to her windshield, though.

I bet you're the type of guy that KNOWS that a lane of traffic is running out and every sign under the world says "Move over now" but you wait until the very last second and expect the person who has been waiting in the correct lane for 20 minutes to just let you in. And then you get mad at them for making it hard for you to get in. Who are they to slow you down amirite?!?!11one!?
