Near daily occurrence for me because I ride a bike everywhere. Some young girl yelled at me Wednesday night. Had to be maybe 17... I'm in IL, and I've heard TN treats cyclists pretty awful.
Why? If some is "barely going the speed limit" that means they are going as fast as the law allows. Why should the law abiding citizen get the ticket instead of the lawbreaker?
Unless the speeder is driving recklessly fast or fast and reckless, the guy driving slower than others in the left lane is the greater offender. The backed up traffic, with the accompanying over-braking, position jockeying, diminished gaps and increasingly frustrated drivers, are a way more dangerous result than a fast straight-line driver is likely to cause.
