I am driving daily at freeway, most of the time I just drive according to what the speed limit it. Dont you hate when someone behind pushing you when you already on the slow lane? Why can't they just change to fast lane? It is very frustrating every single day.

I completely agree with you succed! I think people are very ignorant and rude when it comes to driving on the freeway. Whenever people climb up on my bumper I just slow down even more and they usually back off or pass me, it's worked every time. Although I think it's pretty dangerous to do, it hasn't failed me so I continue to do it. The way I see it though is that I can change the world by no acting like those people. Whenever I get behind someone who's driving slowly I stay clear of them and pass them whenever I get a chance.

Try tapping on your brakes gently. Sometimes the flashing of the brake lights is a signal to the driver behind you to go around. As long as you are driving within 5 miles of the speed limit, there is no reason they can't just take the other lane. However, if you are driving well under the posted speed limit, this can be just as dangerous as speeding and you may want to consider increasing your speed to the limit to stay with the flow of traffic.

I hate it when they do that especially now that I have a baby in the car. I usually just keep going the speed limit until they go around me unless I am on the highway and they are too close then I will speed up some so that they don't hit me.
