I have no problem with people who want to be cautious and drive at the limit. Absolutely NOTHING is wrong with that.
However, if you are in the left lane or even 2nd to left lane and the freeway is pretty empty and you are doing the limit, that's a problem. More accurately, if you are in the left lane and someone is coming up behind you rather quickly MOVE OVER!!! This isn't rocket science, have some common decency to allow someone who feels more comfortable at a higher speed than yourself to pass. If the driver coming up behind you flashes their lights at you to move over, don't be the hero and slam on the brakes or slow down. The term "Flash-To-Pass" came around for a reason, SHARE THE ROAD!

I get frustrated by left lane cloggers but I just let them be. I often just tolerate whatever on the road and I can go a month plus without honking my horn even times when it's needed. I feel like the internet and behind the wheel everyone becomes a tough guy. So I just go around or sit behind them and let it ride literally
