ROAD RAGE IS AT AN ALL TIME HIGH IN OHIO
View all comments
If everyone would get over to the right when they’re not passing I wouldn’t have to aggressively pass on the right. /s ish
I had a guy almost run me off the road this morning. I was on the merge to 270 and instead of merging behind me the dude pulls up right next to me and forces me to slow down so that he can get over. There was no one behind me so there was plenty of room for them to merge behind me.
Last week, I had a guy on 275 in a pickup, pass me in my own lane. I had to pull half way off the road.
I had a guy pass me on the right berm as we entered the highway from the on ramp! Guess I didn’t floor it like he wanted to to enter the road. I had half a mind to step on it, and trap him on the berm, not letting him cut in front of me, AND driving over all the debris over there!
Passed you in your own lane? I’m confused!
How are they supposed to get back over if your passing them?
They should've thought about that before camping in the middle lane!
I can't get back over if I'm being passed on the right. Do you not see the problem here?
Why are you there in the first place, though? The right lane is moving faster than you, so why didn't you just stay there and let people pass you?
Have you driven on a highway before? Did you know its possible to be the fastest person in a stretch of highway until a truck comes barreling by and swerving between lanes instead of letting you get over?
We're not talking about a truck barreling down the highway. We're talking about this dummy hanging out in the middle lane, going significantly slower than the traffic around them. If they put their turn signal on, I'll let them get over. Otherwise, I just assume they're being an asshole and holding up traffic in the passing lane for no reason.
We’re talking about incidents that create road rage.
Can’t move over after they complete their pass? I don’t get it!
Partly true. The rest is that I can't safely ride my bike a few miles to work without an insecure pickup truck driver with a small dick thinking I'm infringing on his freedoms for 2 seconds where he has to move over, so he tries to scare me by getting real close to clipping me while blowing exhaust on me
Stole my comment. Has to be caused by people camping in the hammer lane. 80 from 79 in PA to Akron is the worst stretch for this.
I drive between Erie and Cleveland 2-4 times a week depending, and it is mind boggling how many people in Ohio camp in the left lane going slow. I used to assume every state had equally bad drivers between my time in Ohio and Oregon/Washington, but people with PA plates are significantly more likely to pass and get back over to the right than those from Ohio and NY in my experience.
The stretch between Cleveland and 44 is a nightmare, especially once the third lane disappears
I moved from PA to Ohio and I can confidently say people in Ohio are MUCH worse drivers.
Seconded.
Damn near the whole drive on 71 between Cincinnati and Columbus sitting behind someone who won't pass a damn semi doing 5 under the speed limit.
You do realize the speed limit still applies to the passing lanes right?
Cool. Move over while you call the cops.
This guy camping in the right lane driving the speed limit thinking he’s awesome for not breaking the law.
The people that go 10 to 15 under the speed limit in the middle lane really irritates me .
The left lane is for passing and the right lane is for merging on.
And for traveling in unless passing. At least, that’s what the law says.
