my general rule for driving: ill go as fast or slow as i please, as long as my driving never causes any other driver to have to apply their brakes...whether to slow down behind me, or to slow down because they dont have time to merge over in front of me, etc....as long as im not making other people slow down for me, i do whatever i want. some days i do 60mph on the way home from work because im whooped - cruise set at 60 because i dont feel like speeding up and slowing down and speeding up etc etc etc....so i set it at 60, hop in the middle lane (since my commute, the slow lanes are all exit lanes), and i cruise...if someone wants to go faster than me, they can get in the fast lane and pass me some days ill do 85+ in the fast lane...keep my eyes on my rearview to make sure nobody is coming up faster than i am, and ill stay there....if im doing 85 in the fast lane and i see a car approaching me from behind going faster than i am, i will merge over to the middle lane when they get close, allow them to pass, and then merge back over its courtesy....the guy wouldnt have had to tailgate you if you had just moved over and let him by....you talk about him being in a hurry etc and that its his fault for being in a hurry...yet, you were obviously in some kind of hurry too if you were passing somebody
