Was: closing speeds Now: Driving in the U ASS of A

Halliluiah! babe.  I'd pay $1000. per year if I could
legally drive like a human.  I'm actually afraid to
high beam these A**holes driving TODAY 45 mph in the
third lane in a 65 mph speed limit zone because they
might call the cops on me with their cell
phone(conveniently at their ear).  In general American
drivers ABSOLUTELY suck!!!  And I say that with no
reservation or remorse whatsoever.  They SUCK!   They
couldn't drive their way out of a paper bag if they
saw the opening.  Left turns from the far right lane.
45 mph in the far left lane and then fingering YOU
when you finally pass them on the right?  HELLO!!!
WE NEED HELP!  BIG TIME!!  Something is seriously
broke d*ck here and I really don't know what to do to
help fix it.  BTW, for the most part I really don't
tailgate, pass on the right or swerve in and out on
lanes, although it IS SO tempting and easy to do.  I
much prefer the REAL smooth approach, and my
wallet(fuel mileage) agrees.  Let off WAY before when
appoaching a slow moving mullet, etc.  I really like
driving fast, I just don't dig the hammmer on/hammer
off approach too much anymore.
