Drivers in CO have no idea how to drive...
Drive in the left lane at 50mph in a 65 zone
Pass on the right and then cut back when the lanes ends
Drive in the center lane at 65mph and someone comes up from behind and gives you the "flash pass" when both lanes are open on either side.
I wish my car had rear fogs....or this
Saw that on a WRX and decieded I needed to have one

My Ride: My 5 and I met on Father's Day 2008 and have been together ever since. 20" Wheels (Make TBD), premium package, sport package, AiB V3 upgrade and a Passport Escort 8500 Radar Detector.
In most states I've been in, left lane drivers will move over to the right to let you by. I'll give them my hazards after I pass as a "thank you". Here in SoCal it's different. It's like a big free for all! There's really not any lane that's considered "the fast lane". 
In fact, most "speed racers" I know drive in the 1st and 2nd lanes to avoid the boys in blue.

Yeah 3m is stupid, but the problem is, if you leave too much space in front of you, all the slow slimes and trucks in the right lane take this chance to start passing some other truck or slime so you have to brake from 160 to 80 in two seconds ..

My Ride: 2006 525XI, Jet black on Dakota beige. Premium and winter packages. I consider myself a purist and intend to keep my car absolutely stock and shiny.
2008 328I Convertible, Sapphire black on beige interior. Premium package, NAV, iPod adapter.
Retired: 2002 325I, Titanium silver on black leather. Premium package. Absolutely stock and proud of it.
If you're in the fast lane and not passing anyone, you should just move to the right lane and let the guy behind pass you....

I used to be the idiot you speak of. Even got cited for reckless driving, unsafe lane change and tailgating all on one ticket on my birthday. I was tailgating a car in the left lane for him to get out of the way and switched lanes to get around him only to cut off a CHP that was next to me in my blind spot (don't ask me how I didn't know he was next to me that whole time. LOL!).
But as I've grown older, my driving habits have totally changed. That said I still HATE slow ass drivers that cruise on the left lane as if it had their name on it.

Why do you have no uploaded photo gallery? Your car owns and there are no pics. WTF dude? Get with it.

I used to ALWAYS do this to ppl...in NY forget it...EVERYONE drives like this...everytime I drive or get stuck in any type of traffic I feel like getting out of the car and beating everyone around me that is driving like a moron.
the highways you have to be more careful though.. when people are stupid like that you should just let them pass.. not worth it

I thought I had some in the gallery but from a long time ago.
Maybe not.Well, I meant to upload some but seems like I'm always adding something and waiting till my car is "complete". Plus I take crappy pictures.
I'll get around to it soon.

99% of the time when I have to panic brake on the autobahn the car in front of me has a CZ or PL.

Whenever it happens to me , I usually turn on my headlight which also turn on my taillights then switch it off. I do this a few times. If this doesn't work, I slow down to a point that they will get tired of tailing me and change lane. Then speed up as fast as I can to fist him off more.
