[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 204712, member: 1233"] Here in OK it is common to see the slower driver pull over onto the berm and let you pass, even if the fast lane is empty. That is how I learned to drive. I DO slow down if being seriously tailgated, and motion for the driver to go around. If the driver won't, I stay at a slow speed for MY safety. If you are going to hit me, then I want to be driving as slow as possible. BUT if htere is ANY way for ME to pull over and let you pass, I WILL. Around here it is just common courtesy. I do realize that drivers in large cities drive differently. When back in Cinci, or driving through Dallas or Atlanta or St. Louis, or other big cities, I DO drive the way others do. But when driving between, or here in my own little town, I drive the speed limit or slower. That speed limit is a MAXIMUM, and I really CAN'T afford a ticket. I also don't answer my phone. If you call, and I am driving, you will have to wait. I WILL call you back, but don't expect instant results. It will be wehn I am not driving. Just as I don't expect you to return my call instantly. Lately, if I see someone is on their phone while driving I let tehm pass me and get as far ahead of me as I can. That way I can see what they are doing and won't be hit from behind by them because they are not paying attention. Studies have shown that drunk drivers are more accurate, safe drivers than people on cell phones. And I have had quite a number of friends hurt and seriously injured by people on cell phones. But mb is right, it takes very little time to pull over and let someone pass you. [/QUOTE]
