Is it ok to drive just the speed limit, if multiple lanes?

Suppose a person only drives in the right lane, and goes just the speed limit. Like if I'm on the FFX Parkway in the morning rush hour. Sometimes I find my commute is less stressful if I leave early, get in the right lane, and put my blinders on. Bad?

Keep up with the flow of traffic. The main cause of
accidents on the road is not speed, it's speed differences
between cars moving in the same direction.

Don't be a dick.

At least you are in the right lane. The problem starts when you get assholes in the middle or left lanes going 55 and making it impossible for anyone else to pass. I've been stuck in "traffic jams" that aren't jams at all. It is just 20 cars stuck behind 2 assholes who don't understand they need to get over.

And THAT'S the rub of driving here in the 703...

Drive the speed limit in the right lane keepign out of everyone's way which is TOTALLY legally by the way but, not advisable here in NOVA...and get run down from behind by some fucking asshole in a BMW trying to drive TWICE the posted limit.

Drive more than 7 over the posted limit thereby avoiding the aforementioned BMW exhaust pipe enema? And get ticketed for speeding.

Everytime I take the car out of the driveway and arrive at my destination without getting in an accident or receiving a moving violation ticket...I feel such a sense of accomplishment.

It is legally ok to drive in any lane you wish doing the speed limit. That is why it is called LIMIT. As in max limit. Everyone over that is breaking the law so screw them.

Why do BMW drivers talk tough when in reality they buy BMWs to be excepted?
Trying to belong is a sign of insecurity.

Given that he's deliberately pissing everyone else off by technically doing nothing wrong, shouldn't he be accused of passive-aggressive driving?

Technically, it is OK to drive the speed limit. I generally go five over when I can. I hate how many tailgaters we have here. Realistically, you should keep up with the flow of traffic. The speed limits are artificially low in many areas. (Sunrise Valley is 35, but nobody drives 35) I believe a lot of that is a revenue producer.

Keep up with traffic and avoid getting into accidents because BMW-douche has to beat you to the red light.

Worst thing on the road is slower drivers in the passing lane. It baffles my mind when someone merges on 66 and there's nobody to pass but they'll still go way out to the 2nd or 3rd lane. Stay the fuck right until it's time to pass. Anyone who doesn't get this needs to go back to drivers ed.

And for those of us with a clue, it's legal for us to flash our lights at someone requesting they merge over to the slow lane where they belong.

Otter, It's actually illegal in Virginia not to yield the left lane to faster moving traffic.

i.e. If someone is driving in the left lane and a car is coming up behind them, they must move right to allow the faster moving traffic to pass. IT'S THE LAW!

....but if the overtaking vehicle is exceeding the speed limit, they void the right of way.


ja, it's the law.

this is wrong

if the speed limit is 65mph and someone is going 65mph in the left lane, even if it is a fucking 8 lane highway there is NO LAW that says they have to do ANYTHING

before all the retards say "signs say slower traffic in the right lane", that is ONLY if the traffic is traveling under the posted speed limit

and for all you fucks - i turn on some tunes and ride the left lane of the beltway daily at the speed limit, no worries of merging or anything else until i get to my exit

best part is i am relaxed as can be, never even look in the rearview mirror, many times just turn it down until i near my exit, and all the other people lose their shit when they hear this

wonder how much time those behind me cuss and plan to pass me? worry and fly past only to see me 5 miles later roll up next to them in a back up?

You're wrong sir

It is illegal to not move out of the left lane no matter what your speed, or the speed of the other vehicle is.


"§ 46.2-842.1. Drivers to give way to certain overtaking vehicles on divided highways.

It shall be unlawful to fail to give way to overtaking traffic when driving a motor vehicle to the left and abreast of another motor vehicle on a divided highway. On audible or light signal, the driver of the overtaken vehicle shall move to the right to allow the overtaking vehicle to pass as soon as the overtaken vehicle can safely do so. A violation of this section shall not be construed as negligence per se in any civil action.
(1989, c. 708, § 46.1-211.1.)"

you are wrong

show me where it says it is ok to break the law?

all of this is based on going the posted speed limit

they can not say "it is illegal to block people traveling at an illegal speed"

you can search all of the internet and it will not change - no law will EVER say you have to move for another person speeding

if you are traveling the speed limit, you can drive in ANY lane at ANY time and NEVER have to move

once you understand the factor of the speed limit, you will come to terms with being wrong

I wish a cop would try to write me a ticket for going the speed limit and not allowing someone BREAKING THE LAW by traveling ABOVE THE SPEED LIMIT to pass me

You're either retarded or trolling.. the statute is written in plain English. Move out of the left lane for faster traffic... that's all, nothing more, nothing less.

It isn't your job to stop people from speeding.

only if a firetruck or a cop with lights on - would be mandatory to move

the law would have to allow others to BREAK the LAW in the first place

again - NO ONE can make you move from ANY lane if you are doing the speed limit

that is a fact

faster traffic IF someone is driving BELOW the speed limit

you, I and no one has to move if doing the speed limit

you have to grasp the idea that it ONLY applies to those going UNDER the speed limit

yes, it is plain english, yet you do not get it, because the first written law to obey is the sign that says the speed limit

do you really believe a cop could pull you over and give you a ticket, go to court and say "the guy going the speed limit (obeying the law) is guilty of not letting the guy speeding (guy breaking the law) to pass him? the judge would laugh their ass off

2 of my neighbors are cops

one loudoun the other fairfax

i asked and you are wrong

it is the norm, but not the law

they said the same thing i am - that is why i know it to be a fact

if someone is doing the speed limit, they can not ever be ticketed for not moving out of any lane

the cops you refer to explained it to me personally

it pisses people off, but is not breaking any laws

if you can not grasp the fact that it is only for traveling UNDER the speed limit, there is nothing more to do

you have proved to be wrong

please ask a cop if you can force someone to move out of a lane because you are speeding

since i know you have problems at home with your wife, she makes more money than you and you hate that - and that she handles all the money due to your drug use, which has been a problem for a long time, you still have not paid some people back for weed from way back - and that you bought a new vehicle, some gay jeep thing, i will let you off easy for now

frisky is actually a gay Asian male in his mid-20s.....


oh yeah, he doesn't drive a Jeep. He's more into getting old BMWs from those "buy here pay here" type of places. You know the type.

My parents got me the BMW... well... it's really my mom's, but I can drive it sometimes.

So, if you see me flashing my german lights at you while you're chugging along in the left lane, you best move out the way before I call 9-11.

The posters that claim that 46.2-842.1 does not allow for speeding are correct. I have dealt with this in court and the following statute is the problem:

§ 46.2-823. Unlawful speed forfeits right-of-way.

The driver of any vehicle traveling at an unlawful speed shall forfeit any right-of-way which he might otherwise have under this article.

None the less, anyone not yielding to faster traffic and moving over is an asshole. And dangerous. Thank you.

I love all you people that think you are more important than someone else. Why not just leave the left lane open for folks that want to pass. The beltway gets major "clumps" of traffic because everyone just wants to sit on each others quarter panels and go the same speed. The idoits that stay either next to me or just a little off my quarter are jerks. Cars and trucks do have blind spots. What happened to leaving distance between you and the vehicle in front of you? Jeez so may have become so selfish and inconsiderate in this area.

@everyone - y'all have had quite a party here last night LoLz - whelp, I hate to be the one to tell ya but MR X has it EXACTLY RIGHT - and all y'all were feeding the left lane troll all night long apparently. I bet his keyboard is as sticky as a banana sundae right now, the douchebag getting off on making all y'all upset about him being in the left lane.

But I hate to admit it, but the asshole is right. Law will NOT protect you if you are violating it. That's kinda like getting ripped of by a drug dealer and then going to the cops to complain LoLz.

@asswipe - Legally, you have every right to do what you do. But you are still as WRONG as any common tailgater when you do what you do it. You stay in the left lane impeding traffic purposefully within the rights of the law. You do so either out of ignorance or malice. By operating a vehicle in that manner, YOU ignorantly or with malice attempt to create "road rage". And when told of this, you say "I DONT CARE"

and that's the VERY DEFINITION of an aggressive driver. That's what you are. That's what you have stated you have CHOSEN to be. You have repeatedly stated on this thread that you will CONTINUE to be an aggressive driver and impede traffic and you have given your reason for CHOOSING to be and aggressive driver in our area because you feel the law gives you a right to be an aggressive driver so you are using your right as an aggressive driver to impede traffic flow you find to be too fast for you. So yeah, you are legally right - but you are STILL an aggressive driver and STILL as much a part of the problem as everybody else - so you can stfu on that "I'm better than everyone else cause I'm doing the speed limit" vibe that you have in yr head cause it's simply not true - by doing what you are doing, you are as BIG a problem on the road as the speeder and the tailgater


@overkilt - commenting on me using an unrelated pic? You dont get out much, do? LoLz

Yes, the idiocy of others is funny to me. It's my way of coping.

@Kilton - of course he's lying - he will GLADLY speed up to match pace with vehicles in the right lane.

Happens almost EVERY DAY to me if I'm in my "right lane mode" doing my right lane 5-10 over the limit thingee, it's be THAT SAME ASSHOLE speeding up to me in the left lane, then slow down right next to me, starting that line of cars behind him. Which makes me have to take my cruise control off so I have to slow down so I can let all the cars behind him cut over. And I do it cause I hate being one of the ones stuck behind an asshole like that - so if I'm on "right-lane mode" and see it happening, I'll slow down and let everyone over (yr welcome LoLz)

Asswipe gets his dick hard thinking he's ROAD NAZI and getting off on that "control" or whatever. Someone like that prolly has a wife that is "oh so clumsy", and kids that fall down stairs a lot too, know what I mean? :(

Why not ban cars that could go over the max. speed limit? Auto accidents kills more people than just about anything else or more than anything else. Depends on the data you prescribe to.

Why? because speeders support the county and its many programs. To heck with human life. Depopulation is a good thing, right?

A reduction in crime, decreases the county's income... follow the money and or power trail and you find the answers to most questions.

No problem if you are in the far right lane - its your right and you are following the law.

However, I find that the slow and fast lanes are now exactly reversed. Ultimate douche bags drive blithely along in the far left lane at any speed of their choosing. Doesnt matter if there are two empty lanes to the right these morons just putter along oblivious to all the people trying to pass.

Traffic backs up for miles behind these miscreants. The only option has become for everyone to pass and weave on the right lanes. On a drive back from NJ last weekend the right was mostly open with the faster cars going in that lane while the left lane was hopelessly blocked because people are too stupid to realize the left lane is called the 'passing lane.' I wish the cops gave out tickets for blocking the passing lane.

even if the county was as evil as you see it in yr head, even if they were solely all about the $$$ and not about human life, anybody with half a brain could see any accidental human loss of life COSTS WAY MORE than it would cost to simply prevent that death,

That's why we have speed laws in the first place, dumbass. If the world was as you paint it to be, the powers that be would WAY MORE ENCOURAGE speeding to make more money on it (like the way they encourage small businesses to start up cause it makes them more money)

A reduction in crime, decreases the county's income? Time to come out from mommy's basement and grow the FUCK UP, buttercup.

as to why they dont ban going over the speed limit.....................well if we cant get military-grade weapons designed only to kill other ppl banned, not too sure how you are gonna get simple every-day tools banned - but good luck on that LoLz

People need to slowdown and smell the grass.
And smoke it.
Buses are like women. You might miss one, but another always comes along.
cars are much the same way. If you miss one, there are millions more to hit.
We just need to remember that everything is connected one way or another.

If you are behind the car this is called second place. And how can first place here your exhaust?
Your motor isn'tt cutting it if you are in second. Instead of tailgating pass the first place car or are you all talk and scared.
I would assume you have always gotten sloppy seconds.

Pretty much the same as it feels not getting your ass kicked all over FFXU, I'd imagine. Like absolutely nothing.

not correct

you can not have it both ways

if someone is doing nothing illegal, they are not being "aggressive", they do not have to be responsible for someone else's reaction to them driving the SPEED LIMIT

if obeying the law creates "road rage" in another driver, that is the problem of the other driver

at no time is being responsible and driving LEGALLY in the left lane doing the SPEED LIMIT, no slower, wrong in any way

gordo, are you advocating that people BREAK the LAW?

your definition of aggressive driving is flawed by your own standards, it is impossible to obey all traffic laws AND be considered guilty of breaking a traffic law

you may not like it, you may pretend to know what the driver is thinking or their intentions, but you can not have it both ways

lets pretend, for fun, that the driver really is thinking "haha i own the road", "i am the road nazi", "fuck everyone, they can slow down or go around" - it still is irrelevant, they are breaking no laws

so, gordo, are you saying the people behind the driver going the speed limit, who ALL are breaking the law, are the victims?

you have trapped yourself in a corner, you either stick to your usual guns and say ONLY that the driver is not breaking any laws and are free to do what they like or that the people breaking the law have the right to do so, because you THINK you know what the left lane driver is THINKING

will you follow frisky into the WRONG category or backtrack and admit you were mistaken in you opinion, and your conclusions are wrong?

i will help you out - if a driver is doing the speed limit and driving in the left lane when there is NO ONE on the road it is EXACTLY the same as if there are 1000s of cars on the road - this is completely LEGAL by LAW and can not be changed by anyone's OPINION of WHY the driver is doing something completely LEGAL

remember, speeding is dangerous, illegal and causes deaths - are you saying that speeding which is dangerous, illegal and causes deaths is the correct alternative to driving the speed limit, legally and saving lives, regardless of lane choice, is WRONG?

YOU may view driving the speed limit in the left lane as "aggressive driving", but the LAW and FCPD do not

only a child thinks that way.

scenario: child 1 and child 2 in the backseat of a car. Child 1 starts taking a finger and place it near (BUT NOT ON) child 2. Child 2 says "stop that" Child 1 says "I'm not touching you".
You are child 1. Yes, you have not touched child 2. No, you are not touching them. However, YOU ARE STILL BEING AN ANNOYING LITTLE FUCK!

and if you cannot understand that, then YOU are the problem, creating the rage.

There;s absolutely no argument here, kiddo. You are in the legal right. You are however, in the moral wrong when you PURPOSEFULLY USE YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS SOLELY TO ANNOY OTHERS!

Didja know you can legally go to any restaurant, order food, take a bite, then walk out without paying? Totally legal. Know why you dont do that? Cause only an ASSHOLE would do something like that.

What you are doing is the same thing when yr PURPOSEFULLY holding up traffic in the left lane.

and what's sad is that you CONTINUE to bring up FCPD and the law when, as I said at the BEGINNING of all this, that the law has NOTHING to do with it. It's the MORALITY of what you are doing that is wrong.

another point:

I mean, you already told us you dont give a fuck about other ppl, and that you are going to purposefully hold up traffic - so why are you even still arguing the point? If you dont give a fuck about how others feel, then just admit you feel better than the rest of us and just tell us to fuck off. I mean, that's what you are saying to us on the roadway so why is it that you are too afraid, ashamed, or scared to own up to it here?

People going the limit in the left lane while others are trying to pass are either oblivious, distracted or choosing the wrong place to make a statement. If you are in the passing lane going slower than traffic to prove a point you are creating danger over principle.

There are lots of people on the road including innocent children and passengers. By blocking the passing lane you force the drivers that speed into the middle and right lanes and force them to weave among those slower lanes. This is dangerous to you and others on the road. The only thing a left lane bandit is doing is endangering other people on the road.

BTW you might want to consider that when there is a line of 8 cars tailgating behind you you yourself are not in a very safe position. One of the reasons traffic jams do occur are people trading paint in the left lane. When they crash in the left lane everyone else suffers in traffic while you guys stand in the left shoulder wondering why in the world you got in an accident.

Move to the right if you do not need to pass or if someone is overtaking you, what is your rush if you dont want to speed? You are only in More danger in that lane why ride there?

a person CAN NOT HOLD UP TRAFFIC if they are going the speed limit, it is simple physics - unless you AGAIN are CHOOSING to advocate FOR THE PEOPLE BREAKING THE LAW?

you are wrong again, with your own words - you multiple times said it was "aggressive driving", in fact you said it is the definition of aggressive driving


you lose gordo - you ASSUME "malice" and "aggressiveness" and that the other driver is saying a big "fuck you" to everyone else - the problem is that you have NO IDEA what another person is thinking

unless you admit to advocating for illegal activity - SPEEDING! - you can not logically make any valid point

if you THINK someone is being immoral, unfair or just a meanie is irrelevant - that is YOUR REACTION to someone doing NOTHING WRONG

i am not that other poster, do not ASSUME so much, it already has you making an ass of yourself from a logical, legal and moral standpoint

you would be acting much more immoral to advocate for illegal speeding than anyone OBEYING the LAW

ok, pay attention: these are your own words here. I will walk you thru it step by step:

if someone is doing nothing illegal, they are not being "aggressive", they do not have to be responsible for someone else's reaction to them driving the SPEED LIMIT

this means: you already told us you dont give a fuck about other ppl, and that you are going to purposefully hold up traffic

corect

incorrect, wrong person

and either way - INTENTION or what they are thinking is irrelevant


i will make it so simple even you can understand:

if ANYONE is driving on the road and get behind someone in the left lane who is doing the speed limit they have choices

A. drive behind the other vehicle at the SPEED LIMIT
B. BREAK THE LAW and illegally SPEED to get around the other vehicle
c. A myriad of other dumb shit "road rage" - give them the finger - flash your lights or honk, which would be dangerous in itself

Answer is A, period


all other options INCLUDE BREAKING THE LAW

unless, again, you do not retract you first comment, and continue to advocate for illegal activity on or roadways?

- just a side note - again physics, you can NOT "hold up traffic" if you are going the speed limit

whatever people choose to do when they come upon the vehicle legally driving down the road is ALL ON THEM, an results - accident etc...is ON THEM - if someone can not be disciplined enough to drive the speed limit that is ON THEM

seriously gordo, you usually have a bit of a leg to stand on, and that is usually the "letter of the law" - you have none here

Gotcha, cowpoke - but yeah, the answer I gave orig. hoss still applies:

Legally, you have every right to do what you do. But you are still as WRONG as any common tailgater when you do what you do it. You stay in the left lane impeding traffic purposefully within the rights of the law. You do so either out of ignorance or malice. By operating a vehicle in that manner, YOU ignorantly or with malice attempt to create "road rage". And when told of this, you say "I DONT CARE"

That totally applies to you as in yr thesis, YOU give 3 options YOU feel the other driver will take, all of which involve ONLY the emotions of the driver in the "YOU" car, not the other drivers. Meaning YOU are the one trying to control the actions of others. And if you cant see/understand/figure out that sort of driving can create road rage, then maybe you need to be off the road no matter what the "legality" of speed is that we are discussing.

and if that's yr thing, that's yr thing. But dont act like yr not an asshole cause of it cause you are, bro.

pro tip: If you are driving down the road and you ever UNDERSTAND/RECOGNIZE/NOTICE that YOUR driving style could possible create another driver to choose either (B) or (C), you CHANGE YOUR BEHAVIOR AS A COURTESY TO OTHER DRIVERS BEHIND YOU!!! NOT. ROCKET. SCIENCE!!

Your arguments fail over and over - not a put down, just a fact:

"Tailgating" is illegal - driving the speed limit is not (regardless of lane).

No one is "impeding traffic" - all other drivers are breaking the law by speeding.

No driver legally operating their vehicle is responsible for OTHERS reactions.

You ASSUME that there is "malice" and an "I DONT CARE" attitude, which is irrelevant logically, legally and morally. Also, I personally do not practice what I am advocating --- it is just a simple, legal action that can not falsely represented by any argument.

No "emotions" involved --- only reality. No "control" involved, just a person legally driving down the road...your error is to PROJECT YOUR emotions and loss of control onto another person.

Everyone has a right to call someone else "asshole" --- that is not what the discussion is about at all. I think many of your posts are completely assholeish', but have no legal, logical or moral argument against your continued posting on FFXU. Like Young Curmudgeon', I can separate fact from fiction --- even if I, we, do not like the outcome.

Driving legally down the road, obeying all the laws is not a "driving style" - it is the proper way to navigate your vehicle according to law.

You use the word "courtesy"? Really? So, expecting other drivers to be disciplined enough to OBEY the LAW is being discourteous? Are you crazy?

Again, you are advocating that the illegally speeding drivers HAVE THE RIGHT, morally, legally and logically OVER a driver that is breaking no laws. That was your statement and you can not have it both ways.

Bottom-line --- you have stated multiple times that illegal behavior is what you advocate over legal behavior, period.

You see, I can take emotions out of the equation and realize that there is NOTHING wrong legally, logically or morally by driving the sped limit in the left lane.

You can ASSUME that there is "malice" or some underlying intent, but it all is irrelevant.

You are saying that DRIVING LEGALLY is equivalent to driving with "malice", "aggressive", causes "road rage" and forces other drivers to BREAK THE LAW. Surprising, form someone who usually argues the "letter of the law" on most occasions.


> edit: trolling dingo:+1 ;) he still beat you

I do not look at the score often, but the FFXU scoreboard does not show any points against me --- what game are you watching?


Face it Gordon, your original statements simply say that:

YOU prefer ILLEGAL over LEGAL behavior.

As unlikely as it seems, Gordon and I are in complete agreement on a subject.

Legal or not, the behavior being advocated by ppp and some others is simply rude. Using "it's not illegal" as justification for being a dick just makes you that much more of a dick.

p.s. proper way to navigate a motor vehicle is to keep right unless to pass, dumbass


p.p.s - this is CLASSIC Fairfax snobbery you are portraying, btw: so proud to defend an asshole behaviour, but yet not be man enough to stand up and say you dont care how the behaviour makes you look like an asshole - LoLz

There's a difference between legality and what's a good idea. It's perfectly legal to drive the speed limit in the left lane. It's not a good idea, because some jackass driving 25 over will plow into you.

The left lane is for passing, the right lane is for driving. Of course, things change when you get up around Tysons. Neither lane is for driving!
