What an idiot
Out for a ride today, just a short jaunt, a little windy and on the nippy side, well I am on my way back to town and a pickup who was behind me when we turned on the road into town runs up behind me and rides my butt I am running the speed limit he finally goes around me and starts pointing to the other lane like your in the wrong lane this is a four lane highway.
Welp I get into town and stop at the store and low and behold, when he gets out of the truck the man who I know, and even put his house out when he caught it on fire says" man i did not know that was you" and I said does that make a difference and he kind of stutters around and I let him know that there is no law that states I have to move lanes for a four wheeled vehicle, it was just as easy for him to change lanes if he was in that big of a hurry, well he ducked his head and went into the store he finally apologized on the way out, and I told him to make sure he showed the same respect to everyone on the road whether they were on 2 or more tires.

RE: What an idiot
I'm not sure of this because what you write still leaves a question but it's a commonunderstanding (and also nothing more than a courtesy) that slower traffic stays to the right and if you're bitching because some guy was riding your *** and you were in one of the left lanes the problem is yours and not his.

RE: What an idiot
Missouri has those "slower traffic keep right" signs. Not sure it helps any cause tons of folks camp out in the left lane with tons of cars behind them but makes me feel better anyway thinking that they may learn to read one day.

RE: What an idiot
This might help............particular attention to paragraph 5. I deleted 3 and 4 as they didn't really apply to this situation.
