Or your are going down the highway on cruise control and catch up with

Or as you attempt to pass using cruise control, he speeds up.


You are not the only one getting PO'd at that.

My best story though is when I was in the left lane passing. I'm on the
same 10 mile stretch of highway I've been using to go to work for 23
years. I set the cruise at 70 and just go, passing a radar trap at
least twice a week.

One day I'm in the left lane at 70 slowly passing a line of cars in the
right lane. A guy gets on my tail and is very impatient. I made him
wait until I passed the other cars, then moved to the right. He flew by
me and 100 yards later was pulled over by the State Police with radar.

That was you????
Get out of the left lane at 70.....!!!!!

Seriously in NJ 70 in the left is slow. Normal left lane speed is 80.
When a guy sits in the left lane at 70, I just wish I had a missle launcher.

On the back roads though, I pretty much travel like a farmer most of the
time... I slow down and smell the roses... but on the highway get the F
out of my way at 70
