Should I feel bad??

[Seven3Lee]

The speed LIMIT is 65 or whatever. If you are going 15mph over, you are already in the wrong. If there is a car trying to go faster, they are in the wrong also. How are you going to be courteous to someone who is already acting in the wrong?

All of you who are saying pull over for faster moving cars, that IS true, but you fail to remember that rule is for cars traveling at less than the legal speed limit (we're talking semi trucks, farm vehicles and other slow-moving vehicles here...)

Bottom line, brakechecking him was unsafe, but so was his tailgating. Neither of you were hurt, so no worries there. Hopefully, he learned a lesson about proper driving skills, which would be a win for anyone that has to share the road with him.

No, don't feel bad.

i wouldnt feel bad. i'd just be like uh and shrug my shoulders and drive on home. then have some waffles in the morning with Mrs. Butterworth syrup and a glass of orangejuice.sorry for straying off.

same, fook that guy

As it was pointed out, you should have just moved over and let the guy go by. You shouldn't feel bad for them wiping out though. It even says in the driver's manual (here in CA at least) that when you are being tailgated, you should lightly tap your brakes a few times to encourage the other person to go around.

yup

He also said 3 lane highway and that means there's another lane to go. even if he was in the middle lane and the left lane was occupied then he had even less reason to tailgate.so f*ck that guy, glad he spun out, bet his a*s didn't tailgate for a looooong f*cking time.I tap the brake if i get a tailgater, not press the brake enough to actually slow the car any, but to flash the taillights.

haha epic fail.

[i240sx]

It is.

Just not enforced much here as the PPL who make the laws (old PPL) are guilty of it so much themselves.

If you are in the left lane, you MUST check your rearview mirror every few seconds, for a faster car and then move over to the rightif one approaches

You cant be in the left lane, unless actually passing someone at that time.Even if you are going faster than traffic.

In the left lane, the faster car, has the right of way.

Fred

if your on a the left lane doing 75mph, who ever want to pass, tailgating you are speeding, which mean you don't have to move to the right lane because your doing speed limit. if the other car is speeding and want to pass he/she should use the right lane.F**K That S**T..i'm doing speed limit...

[Armstec_S13]

well if that guy was in a hurry he could have gone around you, common sense yeah slower traffic keep to the right but if you're going thaty fast an see a slower car go around takes more time to tailgate someone than to go around, either way dont worry about it there was nothing legal about that, who the hell even follows speed limits anyways old people go like 20 miles under and everyone else is about 10 to 20 over

Agreed. "Rules of the road" are different from the rule of law. Not trying to argue, because I certainly agree that if you have faster traffic coming up on you, it's best to give them the right of way.

The left lane is not meant for high-speed cruising, and it certainly does not give you the right of way just because you'd like to go faster than the posted speed limit. The left lane is also not meant for 10-20 mph+ the speed limit leap frogging. That is illegal. Period.

If you're going fast in the left lane, and are held up, you must wait courteously to be given the right of way by the car in front of you. Slow down speed racers, and plan ahead so you don't have to mob everywhere. lol

Traffic flows best when everyone drives courteously.
