My first reason for even posting was to say that If I am driving the speed limit, why should I have to pull over for some one speeding. I think the law should be changed to state " slower traffic keep to the right unless you are driving the speed limit.
You guys want to let other people / drivers walk all over you while you cower to them, go ahead. The speeders and tailgaters are the bullies, not me. I was always tought, Fight for your rights. If you let people walk all over you then you might as well be a rug.

Many people think that anyone driving faster or slower than them is an idiot. Not me. I move to the right for a faster driver any time, it is being courteous. I appreciate it when other drivers are courteous for me. It is very rare that someone won't move over the right for me. But if they don't, they are just being a jerk. Being courteous is not cowering. This has nothing to do with fighting for your rights. Perhaps you are just an angry person, looking for a fight? I don't see any difference between your attitude and the attitude of a person who tail gates. Neither attitude is courteous. Both attitudes are aggressive.

You remind me of the way my grandfather drove when he was in his 80s and 90s. He spent more time looking at his rear view mirror than looking straight ahead. And spent most of his time angry at the people behind him, thinking that the people behind him could see the grimaces he was making at his rear view mirror. I always wondered why he never rear ended someone in front of him when he was giving a dirty look in the mirror. I guess he just drove so slow it was unlikely to happen.

I don't understand how a sports car could be the right car for you; my grandfather had a 74 Dodge Polara...
