Read the whole dialog Jethro.

Everybody is going 80. You go with the flow of traffic or you wind up causing an accident. However, a few ambitious guys who want to up the tempo to 90 or 100 don't have the right to put everybody else in danger by slaloming through traffic. I wish going 65 even in the right lane were a possible solution. It's not.

That was not very nice. I stand corrected, courtesy is not contagious.

I'm ok with that if those who are traveling stay at a safe distance until a safe opportunity presents itself. But when does that fantasy happen? I also have an issue when Cletus the frsutrated NASCAR driver, gets frustrated with someone in the left lane and tries to get on MY bumper when I am in the correct lane. Back off!

Exactly! And you can tell from the responses here by some people, they are the ones exceeding the speed limit and feel it is their right to do so. Don't get 'em mad on the road, they might pull their gun on you like that fool in my first post. Or they might even lecture you on the internet

Uh...I believe you started this earlier with "If I'm going 80 on a 65 speed limit road...". Hello pot, meet the kettle. Like I said, let's practice some courtesy and lead by example. Need not worry about what the other guy is doing, just keep yourself safe. Courtesy might be contagious. Internet lectures start with silly comments and generalizations like "Don't get 'em mad, they might pull a gun..."

Sounds like lack of common courtesy and control issues. Take speed limit out of the conversation and focus on courtesy. Stop trying to impose control over others. People speed, let them Chase that ticket and help them along by getting out of the way. I don't know why people are so hell bent to play hall monitor and deliberately impeed traffic to stop speeders. If you have cars behind you that want to get by...MOVE! Otherwise you are instigating road rage and have little regard for others. Frankley if you are one of those that won't let someone over or won't get out of the way you may have issues far greater than your driving. Let's all try to promote a polite society, this world needs some new examples to follow.
