They're everywhere down here (FL) and they become ever more dangerous because of the heavy traffic this time of year. The last three times, over the past two weeks, I have been on I 4 between Lakeland and Tampa, one or both, east and west bound traffic were completely shut down because of driving like this.

Time to go north.

I wonder why the lady stayed in the left lane after she passed the truck, if she had gone over to the right lane as she should have, nothing would have happened.

That's no excuse for his aggressive behavior.
She was doing 55 in a 50,and he still wouldn't back off.

I'm on the woman's side in this case but I have a personal opinion. If you're barely passing a vehicle with traffic behind you, either speed up a little to get by or slow down a little and move over to let others by. In other words, if it takes you a mile to pass someone, adjust your speed.

I was driving home from work last night in a 55mph zone....I had the cruise control on 57mph and the person behind me <span style="font-style: italic">wasn't</span> using the 2 second rule....so I bumped it up to 62mph....same result. I came up to a stop sign. After stopping I only accelerated to 51mph. When he/she caught up to me, they passed me, after that, I put the cruise back to 57 and all was good.

I think the point is he should've slowed down,not try to out run or challenge her.
Yes she was filming his bad behavior while driving,but stopped her car afterwards to call the police &amp; show them what happened.

Not taking anyone's side.
Don't know what happened leading up to this.
It is the law in all 50 states. If you are not passing someone or have another reason (someone is entering on an on ramp or there is a vehicle on the right shoulder, etc.), you should be in the right lane.

You see signs everywhere &quot;slower traffic keep right&quot;.

Some people like travelling left lane just to piss off others.

I think that is what Jan was referrering to. In Europe drivers actually get ticketed for making people pass on the right.

It looked to me like she easily could have moved over but chose to further piss the guy off instead. Cite them both.

I agree with Charley but it was still funny.
