Anyone know where I can get some 19 inch rims like those in "Spartacus"?

I love how this forum allows us to share new and interesting driving techniques (which may even scare a slug or two!).

I can see the headline now. Maniac driver in HOV admits to driving 45mph!

I just set the cruise on 45, and stay in the middle - that way I don't have to brake and can easily move to either lane, depending on where I feel I will be the more obnoxious.

I really wish y'all would stop telling the world that the right lane is actually moving at an average speed roughly equal to the left lane. Now MY lane will be all the more clogged up and I will still only arrive to my destination within 5 car lengths of the "aggressive drivers". Huh? What'd he just say?

Yeah, me too. I stay in the slow lane, accept the slow pace of traffic, watch folks weaving in and out and almost always end up near the Mem bridge split within five cars or so--sometimes even ahead of them. It happens almost every morning. When traffic is light in HOV in the a.m., I go all out and as fast as possible disregarding all safe speed limits, placing everyone in my car in mortal jeopardy. My car is so powerful that I can sometimes attain speeds approaching 40 mph for up to one mile! Most mornings I just let my car idle down the hov lanes. I seldom ever have to use the accelerator. Sad but true.

Funny thing is...in the HOV recently, I can pretty much stay in the "slow" lane - the right lane - and pretty much stay at the same pace as the A-hole doing all the tailgating, lightflashing, and weaving between cars! Just because of the sheer volume in the "passing" lane where people think just because they're in that lane they will be traveling at a faster pace. Rarely the case anymore.

Good post, VA4ver. As annoying as slowpokes are, the studies say that the most dangerous thing is the weaving in and out by the people who refuse to accept the speed of the traffic.

People are forgetting that this area needs ALL the lanes to keep traffic moving during RUSH hour. So basically left lane, right line rules don't apply. Just because the speed limit is 65 mph, you aren't necessarily going to be moving at that speed.

How's this rule of thumb for rush hour traffic: IF you are riding in left hand lane AND do not need to exit anytime soon AND the right hand lane is traveling faster than you, that's a good clue you need not be in the left hand lane. IF you are driving in the left hand lane and expect everyone to move over for you when both lanes are traveling at the same pace, I ask you who made you God? Take a chill pill, put on some good music, say a mantra.

Safety comes first and we ALL want to get home ALIVE!
