Growing up here in Texas, it's always been that slower moving vehicles move onto the shoulder to allow you to pass, especially in small towns. A friendly wave is given from both drivers. I've not seen anyone move over if they were going the speed limit though.

I feel your irritation, I do the speed limit most of the time even with my radar detector. Hey, it tells me when the train is coming and emergency vehicles. I do love it when people impatiently pass me and my radar is buzzing like crazy!

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.
