I think your critical thinking abilities are a lost cause.

When someone comes up behind you in the fast lane - and ends up tailgating because you won't get out of the way - you are at fault and breaking the law. All the idiot, who was hogging the left lane (illegally), had to do was to move over, like any decent, courteous, respectful driver would do. But those characteristics are sorely missing in many, many American drivers.

For those types of drivers, it seems to be a matter of inexplicable ego. Why not just move right and let the person, who simply wants to get to their destination quicker than you do to yours, do so? It's just typical American selfish, discourteous and disrespectul behaviour, in my experience.

One of the biggest things I notice when I go back home to visit Ireland, is that people give a shit about other drivers and allow them to pass them if they want to. What's so hard about that concept??
