Why is this so hard for people to do?

Question

I was on the highway going 75 in a 60. I'm speeding but only going a bit faster than the flow of traffic so I'm in the left lane. While driving I notice a car(300 C) coming up on me so I right and let the 300 pass then go back in the left lane to pass slower traffic.

Why is that SOO hard for people to do? I don't think, "Well I'm going 15 over so he shouldn't be going so fast!" or anything retarded like that. I just move over since he's going faster. Then move back over. That action took all of 6 seconds. Most people seem to think if they're going 5 over then it's fine to sit their dumbasses in the fast lane forever. Especially while passing a "Slower Traffic Keep Right" sign.

Answer 1

I think there are two reasons why people do this.

One, they feel that they should be the ones to dictate how fast others drive. They'll determine a safe speed, and want to make sure nobody else exceeds it.

Two, they don't have a clue. They'll just pick a lane and drive in it at any speed, completely oblivious to the traffic piling up behind them.

Answer 2

you were probably behind me...i like to do it to make people mad

Answer 3

well because you have common sense and the rest of the world that does that don't... I am the same way but my wife just sits there...I say it all the time slower drivers move right but they don't understand...like the pedal on the right makes car move....lol
