I like it when I'm in the passing lane behind a person who is driving exactly the speed limit and I have a SUV behind me flashing his lights telling me to move when there is a car that is going the exact speed right next to me...

Well, you want to drive faster? You dont wanna get caught? Easy......

Let those idiots pass you, then give yourself a quarter a mile of space, match his speed, and watch his tail lights.

If you don't like getting tickets for breaking traffic laws in US,you can always move to other countries...

I live in MD and the freeways that are 4-6 lanes wide are 55mph, but rt 15 going to Urbana from FSK mall is 65mph, and its a 2 lane. Who was the decision maker to come up with these stupid speed limits?


And I hate people that get over when they are behind someone and go the exact same freaking speed. WHY DID YOU BOTHER GETTING OVER IF YOU ARN'T PASSING?

How fast were you going when you got the ticket? I have been blessed that the Radar has kept me out of getting a ticket, but that doesn't stop me from getting it in the other car.

let them tailgate you, and throw S**T on their car. Once, I was driving 5 mph over and guy was tailgating me. So, I threw a gallon of fruit juice out of my sunroof (Integra) and then sped off! All because that guy's a jerk.

My favorite is when im 2 car lengths behind someone and they do their windshield washer on my car, thinking it some how hurts me. When I speed pass them I always yell "THANKS I NEEDED A CAR WASH". They usually just flick me off

I like when I am going about 5 over and there is someone right on my tail, so I will drop down to like 10 under. I don't care, I'm not in a rush. Then when they try and pass, drop it down a few gears and take off. Thats just my.02

What I used to do was to wait until a curve in the road came up (any curve usually worked but the slow speed ones were the best) and then drop down a gear, take off & watch them get smaller & smaller in my rear view mirror. Sometime I'd do that on a straight part of the road with the same result. The S is amazing!

Now that I'm being careful I can't do things like that.

Based on the last couple of posts, those that are just sitting in the 'fast' lane at _5_ miles over the speed limit, probably just cruising _next_ to the guy that is also rolling along at _5_ miles over the limit in the right lane - you guys are the butts, not the ones trying to move on past you down the road. You're not funny, you are just the cause of some road rage - when you get flipped the finger, you've earned it. You all sound like you are from California (have you ever driven in California?) - no one gets past me... or anyone else. Jerks!
