I can't judge. I used to drive too fast when I was younger too - not that I'm ancient or anything but in my 20s I was definitely less conscious of safety.

Yeah I don't think i drive as bravely as i did in my 20s lol even thought i still speed. I had a City Golf with weber carb, branches on the exhaust, neon underneath etc. - and how I did not kill myself in that car i still have no idea lol. I spun her out twice on highway offramps.

Time to brush up on the rules of the road and curb your unneccessary road rage...

"(6) For the purposes of subregulation (5) the driver of the second vehicle may make the driver of the first vehicle aware that he or she intends to overtake the first vehicle by giving the driver thereof a visible signal by means of flashing the headlights of his or her vehicle."

Big debate: Am I a vigilante for not clearing the road when a faster driver approaches? | Life

It's been the topic of many debates: Should drivers, who are driving at 120km/h in the fast lane, move to the left and let a faster driver pass?

I f***ing hate the fast lane and try avoid it as much as possible.

But if I have to use it because a dude on his cellphone is doing 100 in the middle lane, there's always someone in a German car that will suddenly arrive flashing lights on your a*** even if you're doing 130. And if you're unlucky enough, Blue Light bastards that appear out of nowhere.

Also found the contrast funny :
Travelling over the speed limit and breaking the law - Meh, it is what it is.
Not moving over in the right lane for someone flashing their lights - Hey, learn the rules of the road buddy. Move over, it's THE LAW.

Even if it wasn't law that you had to keep left, it still amazes me that there's people out there willing to put themselves on the receiving end of whatever short fuse the speeding person behind them has.

Of all thing you can be, you choose to be a self appointed traffic officer, I mean speed cop?

Aim higher! Be better!

I was responding more to the notion that 'faster' drivers flashing their headlights is nothing more than unsavory behaviour when it is actually written in to our road regulations. I just move over when I can or when I feel it is safe to do so, like you I don't understand why people get so worked up about it.
 
Its simple. Keep left, pass right. If you cant understand that then please stay of the road.
If you slow down the fast lane(even if you are driving 120km/h) then you are probably just a cuntycunt and needs a pk.
Lane weaving is also an indication that you are probably just a cuntycunt and needs a pk.

How can you be exceeding the speed limit if you're doing 120km/h? Option 2 seems invalid in the poll.
