Well then when faster traffic is coming up behind you get the fuck over. When it passes you can camp in the left lane until more faster traffic comes along. Simple as that. Lurking there is the problem.
Correct. And you'd better do it (i.e. pull over to let them pass)!
One night I was in the left lane on the NJ Turnpike and this car came right up behind be flashing his beems, etc. This was back in my younger, "feistier" days, so I brake checked him slightly. Just a tap, nothing else. He persisted, continuing to flash. I brake checked him again, He persisted again. I did it once more and he still persisted. I said, OK, I'll pull over and let him pass and then I"ll get behind him and "brighten his day" a bit, myself! At least, that's what I thought.
As the car passed me, I got blinded by a really bright light coming from the side of the car. I couldn't see what was going on. I braked a bit but the car also braked with me to keep pace and keep that bright white light right in my face. And, then, I happened to notice some funny little letters on the car's front door. "T-R-O-O-P-E-R."
Thank God, he had somewhere to go, or I'm sure he'd have stopped me. So, after a few more seconds of shining his side light in my face to harrass me, he shut it down and took off in the left lane. Apparently, NJ Troopers think they own the left lane and chase anyone else out of it.
Moral of the story, pull over and let them pass. You don't want that person behind you where they can be truly dangerous. You want them ahead of you where you can keep an eye on them.
