reckless drivers make me mad. by not making an effort to stop them, im telling them that i think its okay to risk everyone'* life.

Fuel: you and 95 percent of other ohio drivers. And I can't ******* understand what attracts them to the left lane. Even the state rule book for driving clearly states it is a passing lane.

I promise I would pass you (shoulder, right lane, off ramp, wouldn't matter) and slam on my brakes 10x harder than you flashing yours. I'm sure your insurance company would love to increase your rates after they have to pay to replace the back half of my car.
secondly: the passing to slam on brakes has happened too. there was no accident because i follow at a respectable distance. if someone manages to edge in front of me [rare], i immediately back off. if an accident is caused because someone was passing on the shoulder or off-ramp, its not my fault. again with the obeying traffic laws.

Why are there less accident per traffic amount of the autobahn? because people get the **** out of the way when someone else is going faster.

You are right it is not your fault they may be weaving in and out of traffic UNLESS you are disobeying the law by not letting them pass or by driving in the left lane while not passing another car. In which case you are at fault.
and i dont go slow. i go 5 over the speed limit -- which is the acceptable interpretation of most speed limits. i get just as p'd at people who go under the speed limit as i do at people who go more than 10 or so over.
