Exactly, the speed limit is 65, and they're going 65.

you don't have to teach me how to teach. I always drive on the middle lane on 3 lanes highway, unless passing.
I was driving on highway. it was local. the road has no sidewalk, but they have traffic light from ever .2-.5 miles. It doesn't matter if I drive on the left or right. I was on the left because I had to turn left the next traffice that was less than half a mile away.

highways don't have stoplights every .2-.5 miles. and nobody is 'teaching you how to teach.'

sorry, please go back to my original unedited post and read it over. I never stated that I was driving on highway. I don't know where you get this idea from. you may call that expressway with traffic light where and there.

I won't criticize you for being in the left lane, because you were turning. But you were an idiot to try to prevent him from passing you. Just let it go, honk back if you have to.

He's not an idiot. Just an, oh, how did he say it, oh, "asshole."

OP, driving the speed limit? GTF out of the fast lane. It's called common courtesy.

I drove 30-40mph, the ground was wet. I didn't need to go fast and this car accelerated very slow.

So you were probably going under 40, again just because the ground is wet doesn't mean you go below the speed limit.

The guy could have been in trouble, this could have been an emergency situation for him.

common curtesy included tailgating and honking.
he couldn't wait for the car on the right lane to pass him and me, then proceed to pass me and cut me? sorry, I have a turn to make next stop. I will always drive on the left lane there, because that is how I go to school.

He shoiuld have forced you off the road and into a tree.

You just could not speed up until he was passing you in the "slow lane" you're a dicvk. What did the road suddenly get dry when he was passing you.?

Half mile going at 30-40 MPH is still a long way to go. You were an ass not to let him pass. Just because you were not in a hurry does not mean everybody isn't either. Is there a particular reason why he can't pass you, did he hurt your feelings when he honked at you? Let the cops deal with speeders, what you did is foolish. You endangered yourself and the other motorist over a freakin 'honking incident', which was probably because you were ridiculously SLOW.

Precisely the reason why honked at you, you were going really slow...

Just because YOU are slow does not mean everyone else has to be slower than you... GROW the fcuk up.

am I breaking the law for not driving as fast as the posted speed limited? :disgust:
I was getting there. for this car I drive, I usually drive 40mph. 1.8L is slow.

Way to defend your "manhood." I know, it's a terrible blow to your ego to be honked at when you're doing under the speed limit because the roads are a little wet. God knows how easy it is to completely lose control of your vehicle at 40mph on a gently bending road.

Who cares, you're both jackasses...get over it. I do tha same thing all the time, I may be a jackass but that tailgating sob can go gurgle some goat nuts.

BTW, no one "honked you" ...they may have honked AT you...

I don't really remember how fast I was going, but I was definitely going around 30-40mph. when he tried to pass me, I sped up to about 50mph.

your speeding just to stop him is just uncalled for.

I agree. It's stupid, immature, and potentially unsafe/dangerous.
