What’s a little extra 5 or 10 mph on the clock?

    Hey power tripping mod, don’t be an asshole.

    It’s not a brake check to lightly tap the pedal to flash the light. That’s how you communicate to person behind you.

    Why would you delete my comments in the name of danger but let everyone else who says you should drive above the speed limit stay?

      In that case you’d be communicating that you’re brakechecking them lmao. Once in a while i do a “reverse pass”, i just go in the left lane take my foot off the gas and let them pass me on the right, then i get back over.

        That also sounds dangerous to me, imo, if there are other cars around. I would just continue to drive a safe speed and let them pass on the left. Or, if appropriate, put my right blinker on and hug the right shoulder to make it easier for them to pass (e.g. on a two lane road with the passing middle lane marker.)

          well yeah, i only do it if the left lane is completely empty to spitefully show them they could have easily passed the whole time lmao
