Yeah, the guy in a white mini van showed me one night by not letting me pass on a two lane road by almost killing my sister that was going into anaphylactic shock from eating some salad at my house one evening that unbeknownst to us had a preservative on it. That tough guy stood his ground and didn't let that obnoxious speeder by. He should be real proud. He even slowed down below the speed limit to show me he was boss and didn't have to move over to the shoulder.

Before you start, I had my flashers on and flashed my lights. It's a twenty minute drive to the hospital, her epi injections didnt work and if we would waited for an ambulance she would have died.

But it's much more important to show the sorry speeders up than to let them pass. Who needs courtesy? By gosh this is America. One thing I will say, he is very fortunate she survived as I took his license plate down and was prepared to track him down.

In my mind, it's a matter of common courtesy to pull over onto the shoulder if available to give the folks as much room as possible to pass. I also do not believe I should try to enforce traffic laws by obstructing them even if I am going the speed limit.

I know moving over is very common, especially in West Texas. It is also typically appreciated and acknowledged by a friendly wave.
