And I do feel like I'm above the law at times. The reason is simple; speed limits are made for the average person driving the average car paying the average amount of attention under average circumstances with average skill. I find that there are times when even an average person can speed safely, and certainly those in above average cars, with above average skill in an above average circumstance can speed even more. I respect the law when it makes sense. So, you go ahead and wait at that stoplight at 2 am when you can clearly see that no one is coming. Me, I'm running it. |

^ Don't disagree but we have drifted away from the OP's question. OP's situation was a very different situation than a stoplight at 2am with no one coming...

As far as someone coming up on me at 90, I'd just move over and let them pass (if they tail-gated me). Usually I'm pretty aware though, and would have moved over way before he got to me. |

theres also the notion that you aren't going anywhere faster when the traffic is medium thick no point in weaving in/out of lanes when the traffic is thick, like how much more ahead are you going to get |

i move over. if i feel like the car is going to be at my bumper before i can pass the upcoming cars in the right lane i'll still move over, slow down, let them pass and then get back to the left.
the guy in the left lane coming up behind me shouldn't have to hit his brakes or wait.

For the drivers of less prestigious car marques, where the blinker fluid system isn't sealed and needs frequent topping off.
![]() Speaking of sealed systems that aren't, I have to hit, er, I mean visit ![]()

If you would quit romping on her and giggling like a drunk infant the entire time, you could just get a standard 55 gallon drum.

Because you don't use all the other "technology enhancements" in the vehicle, you still have time for blinkers.

![]() Most people around these parts also do not know that NY State law says that you must signal all turns at least 100 feet in advance. Still in the learner's permit handbook, and I remember this from back in the olden days before I had a license.....

I rarely signal if I'm blowing by you switching lanes. If I'm cutting it close I'll use it. Turns always

I'd move over if I saw them approaching quickly. No need to be a part of someone else's road rage
