    I’ve never seen one of those in my state. I DO see plenty of SPEED LIMIT 70 MPH signs though. I think the keep right is fucking stupid, because it just causes drivers to swerve in and out of traffic, which is dangerous for multiple reasons, but will also cause congestion on the on ramps on to the interstate itself. It just goes to show you how each state having it’s own laws for driving is fucking stupid also.

      It is the law in all 50 states for slower traffic to keep to the right when driving on the highway, regardless of the speed limit. So you just clearly don’t know how to drive, and have never bothered to learn, or even educate yourself in your own states driving laws. Keeping right also isn’t stupid at all. A lot of people, much smarter and experienced than yourself, armed with decades of data have decided that keeping right is the safest course of action. Obstructing the flow of traffic by driving slowly in the left lane continues to be far more dangerous than speeding ever could be.

      After many years in EMS I’ve seen the disastrous results of self righteous speed keepers and unpredictable drivers like yourself first hand and I really have less than zero sympathy. Stop worrying about the speed of other vehicles on the road and start worrying about your ability to drive predictably, in a way that keeps you inside the flow of traffic, in the spot you’re supposed to be.

        EDIT: And for someone who was supposedly in EMS, that means you would have seen the direct consequences of what going TOO fast can do to the human bodies, and their vehicles involved. So, therefore if you were a sane individual, you would encourage people to follow the posted SPEED LIMIT. Also, I’m worried about what other drivers are fucking doing dangerously, BECAUSE I HAVE TO SHARE THE SAME FUCKING ROAD WITH THEM, YOU IDIOT.

        Oh, no. you hurt my feelings by saying shit you know nothing about! I might just cry. :(

        No, I learned what NOT to do from idiots who think they can safely drive over 90-100 MPH. Get the fuck over yourself, and just realize that going faster than 90 MPH DRASTICALLY increases your chances of colliding with something, someone, or LOSING CONTROL OF YOUR FUCKING VEHICLE.

          seen the direct consequences of what going TOO fast can do to the human bodies, and their vehicles involved.

          At highway speeds, whether you’re going 55 mph or 75 mph makes little difference to your survivability. Crashing your car at highway speeds is going to hurt. The difference is somebody who’s speeding in the left lane is a lot less likely to cause an accident than somebody going too slowly in the left lane. People like you are a much larger danger to yourself and others than somebody going over the speed limit by a marginal amount, in an appropriate lane. And the fact that we have to share a road with people like you is infuriating. In my eyes you’re no better than drunk drivers. At least they were impaired when they made the poor decision to drive drunk. You make the choice to put everyone on the road at risk fully sober, because you just don’t care.

          Oh, no. you hurt my feelings by saying shit you know nothing about!

          Evidently I do, since I had to send you proof of your own state’s driving laws that by your own admission you were completely unaware of and also apparently don’t mind breaking. I guess it’s not about the law for you, just control over other people.

          The worst thing about scumbags like you is it’s not just simple ignorance that drives your self-centered, life threatening behavior on the road. You also just refuse to learn.

            55 vs 75 no difference?

            speeding cause less wrecks than driving ‘slowly’ in the left lane?

            yeah, you’re the scumbag speeder who refuses to learn. not someone who passes left but isn’t going fast enough for you. you’re gonna kill someone some day. psycho.

              Yeah if you think a 75mph crash will kill you but you get to walk away unharmed from a 55MPH crash, I have really bad news for you.

              speeding cause less wrecks than driving ‘slowly’ in the left lane?

              That is correct. Speeding is involved in a minority of accidents, and is the cause of even less. Over the course of a decade, I’ve seen two fatalities due to speeding, they didn’t harm anyone but themselves in the process, and both were on residential boulevards, not the freeway. I’ve seen far more caused by erratic unpredictable driving, driving too slow for traffic, and turning into traffic.

              I’m a man who’s been fortunate enough to have saved dozens of lives that were almost ended by people like you that become road hazards on purpose, and less fortunately the witness of far more innocent people losing their lives because of drivers like yourself. People like you have caused far more injury and death than any speeders could hope to. Speeders are nothing more than a convenient scapegoat. As long as they themselves are not driving erratically or switching lanes unpredictably, they’re of minuscule concern. There are countries with freeways that have speed limits more than twice the U.S. and they do just fine.

            You’re so fucking stupid. You know nothing about how I drive. Just because I complained about people who are obviously putting themselves, and others, at risk because they want to go above the posted speed limit. Don’t worry, asshole. The feeling is mutual. I hope you don’t drive too fast to be able to react in a timely manner the next time you are on the road. Others lives might be in danger with speed demons like yourself on the road.

              I know that you hyperfixate on speed limits and yet you don’t know your own state’s driving laws. That tells me all I need to know about how you. You don’t know how to drive, you don’t care that you’re putting people’s lives as risk over your perverse power fantasy. You think you’re more important than everyone else on the road. Being confronted with your own ignorance doesn’t even move the needle towards some introspection and actually learning how to drive safely with other people on the road.

              People like you are responsible for so many preventable deaths on the road and then when somebody loses their life because of the bullshit head games you want to play while in control of a 2 ton hunk of metal, you’ll cry and sputter about “how did this happen” and “I didn’t mean to”. I wouldn’t even call you stupid because it’s more likely you just don’t care, as long as your fragile ego gets what it wants then fuck everyone else, right? Disgusting.

                Jesus Christ the fucking projection here! Look, I get it, getting behind the wheel and going vroom vroom really fast makes you feel really cool or makes you feel alive, but I guarantee there are safer ways to get your adrenaline going. Get the fuck over yourself, and drive safer. That’s all you gotta do, mate. Who is more unpredictable, the asshole like you going 90+ MPH on the road, bobbing and weaving between traffic to keep their speed going, or the person who is driving the posted speed limit, if not 5 more MPH higher? You’re truly stupid if you don’t think the reckless speeding vehicle is the unpredictable one.

                People like me, who drive safely, are the exact reason I have never been in a car crash, at all. So, for fucks sake mate. Think of the others instead of being a selfish little cunt who thinks they have a right for some weird fucking reason to go above the legal speed limit. That’s all I have left to tell you. If you want to keep driving recklessly, I pray for the people around you, but your stupid ass should slow down and think about each and every person you are putting at risk by trying to go faster than you are reasonably equipped to handle. You’re not a NASCAR driver, buddy.

                  You can sit there and type out your fantasies until your fingers bleed but you can’t change reality. People like you kill innocent people on the road, and it was on people like me to deal with the fallout of that, and I absolutely resent the hell out of you for it. All the wishful thinking in the word and your total denial of reality won’t help you. You can’t run from it, you can’t hide from it. You can only change.

                  At the end of the day it’s scum of the earth like you who are the problem. I’ve never once seen a car randomly lose contact with the ground and careen across a roadway because its wheels spun just a few more times per second driving in a straight line. Cars are designed to drive in a straight line after all. It just doesn’t happen. It’s people like you who treat the roadway like your personal playground, who choose to drive recklessly, erratically, becoming an obstacle in the roadway, all so that you can exert control over other people in the road to get your little Karen rocks off. At least a drunk drivers usually regrets their behavior, but you relish it. Brag about it. Really makes me sick.

                Yes. I’m perfectly fine. I just don’t understand these idiots who think they have the right to go over the posted speed limit, when, as far I am aware, there is a limit for a reason, correct? So, when you are going over that speed limit, and especially at the speeds of 90+ MPH, you are at the mercy of those same idiots losing control of their vehicle due to a number of different reasons. They are just too fucking thick to understand they are putting way more people at risk of injury and death, than the people who are going slow. I’d much rather have safer, slower people on the roads, causing less and less accidents, than these fucks who are so far up their own asses, they can’t see the idiotic shit they are spewing.
