Why do they do this? Left lane/Blockers...
I had family coming into town and I was on my way to the airport to pick them up. I was doing 70 in a 65 when I come up on a Camry cruising in the left lane, next to him is a Honda CRV blocking the middle lane. I wait a minute to see if Camry Richard will move over but of course not and CRV Richard is happily cruising next to him.
I notice the right lane (3 lane highway) has enough space for a pass so I move into the right lane and start my pass of the CRV... He starts to frantically accelerate to cut me off...why? He was happily cruising blocking the highway next to the Camry until he noticed people wanted to get around them. It makes no sense!
I don't drive a clapped out 💩 box 😤. So his attempt to block was unsuccessful to say the least. I pass them both and continue my journey... except now CRV man is raging and flashing his light like mad behind me and (gasp) he found his accelerator and here he comes charging after.
Not really in the mood for this BS and seen way to many dashcam videos to allow him to catch up. I check ahead and it's clear for miles so I put my foot down for 30 seconds and he disappears in my rear view mirror. He quickly gives up as traffic would be the only way he would ever catch up in a CRV.
Why was all this necessary!
Don't hog the PASSING lane.
Don't try to block people from passing you.
Don't chase people.
Turned a simple drive to the airport into unnecessary drama! Just so dumb. I made it on-time even with this BS.
