When did I say that? I'm quite considerate if I do say so myself. And I practice what I preach, I'm rarely in the leftmost lane, I'm as far right as I can while traveling the speed I want (usually within 5mph of the speed limit), and I help a healthy amount of space in front and behind me.

I suggest you do the same, if you're not already. That's proper etiquette, and in many areas it's the law.

You obviously haven't driven on the madmax style roads in the u.s. There's no etiquette, it's every man for himself out there and you have to drive defensively. If you get over just to let one of those drivers pass you, they'll just cut you off so they can weave between lanes or cut across 5 lanes to take an exit. There's no winning in these situations. If you're passing other cars, then there's no reason to get back over to let faster cars pass you unless the road is wide open.

Ok buddy. I've been driving for decades and haven't had any real issues. Yeah, some drivers are overly aggressive, and some are overly passive aggressive.

If we all follow people the rules and proper etiquette, we'll all get where we're going.
