    I’m a slow driver, at or slightly below the speed limit. My tips for not pissing people off:

    1. Use your cruise control/maintain speed. People can get used to whatever speed you’re at, but if you keep changing your speed, they’ll keep accelerating into it and slamming on the brakes.

    2. When the road opens up nice and straight with clear visibility, for fucks sake, DO NOT SPEED UP (see: 1), even though it feels natural to do so. There’s a line of cars behind you that have been waiting for the dotted yellow line to pass you–and where you feel like it’s safe to go faster is usually where they put those dotted lines.

      Thank you. I love driving behind people like you. I’ll keep a safe distance and wait it out for a passing lane. But my God i loose my shit when I wait it out and they do everything to try to stop me from passing, accelarate/ hog the passing lane try to block view. Etc.
