Tennessee: Angriest, Most Hateful State

Dollars to doughnuts I can find an article saying Tennessee is one of the happiest states.

Click bait garbage.

My bad I thought you were defending ride in the left lane as the primary Lane

No, my gripe is about people who come flying up on your bumper, then get mad because you're driving the speed limit. It happens to me in the right lane all the time. And the left lane is open to pass me, but for some reason they prefer to bump draft me.

I'm with you there. I do get annoyed at the pokey left laners but there is never a good reason to get on someone's bumper.

I try to look at it like I know the speed I want to go and if someone else wants to go faster I'm happy to slide over and let them. But if I'm in the act of passing someone and some impatient jackass is halfway into my trunk, I'm a bit less inclined to accommodate them as quickly.

Covering all bases: If I'm doing 76 and the guy I'm passing is doing 75 and I've been working on passing him for the past five minutes with a line of cars behind me, it's back to me being the ***hole. I need to goose it and get it done or back off and slide out of the way.

I agree with you there that sucks I thought you were referencing people tailgating you in the left lane going the speed limit

The worst of all are the truckers who ride in the left lane for miles at or below the speed limit

I ride bicycles on roadways. I ride right, obey traffic laws, and am far more considerate than 99% of the jackinapes who drive their motorized vehicles (lethal weapons). The law gives me the right to ride on the roadways and requires drivers of motorized vehicles to give me three feet of clearance when passing.

That the majority of vehicle operators manifest the attitude that they have the right to do whatever they want and damn anybody and everybody that's in their way is a societal sickness. The number of cyclists killed or injured by entitled, angry, reckless, and/or distracted drivers is rising. There is no incident of a cyclist causing bodily harm or death to a motorist.

Here's a refresher on fundamental citizenship and safe driving -
1. When you are operating a vehicle, that should have your complete attention.
2. Put down the phone. If you need to use it, safely pull off the road to do so. This is a rule on military bases. You profess to love active duty military & veterans? Do what they're required to do on base.
3. Cyclists have a right to be on the road. When you encounter them, keep a safe distance, wait for the opportunity to pass safely, give them at least 3 feet of clearance. You're in a climate-controlled, motorized vehicle (a lethal weapon). You'll get to where you are going long before the cyclists. The courtesy you show them will not significantly delay you.

Do the right thing. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. I could keep going, but, if you've discarded the basic tenants of faith and civility, there is no hope for you, perhaps none for your children. Damnation will be yours, in this life or the next.

And your attitude is what? Disgusting are those who pilot their lethal motorized vehicles as if the world owes them.

Self-righteous? Self-preservation is more like it.

Spell better, if you want to make an impression.

There is a group of bicyclists that ride on the roads leading out to the main road from where I live. These are narrow two lane country roads and they are usually riding between 6:30 and 7:30 in the morning when everyone is going to work. It pisses me off when 4-5 guys are riding abreast at 15-20mph taking up a the road for 5 or 6 miles. They don't even try to let people pass.

Courtesy goes both ways!

I ride alone and hug the right and I've only had a couple of issues over the years...... but I'll add that when those issues arise..... I'm ready to take a whoopin' if it comes to it. Most people don't realize how fast your going on a bike and the amount of injury a spill can inflict.

Everyone usually has a mirror and if they do, they know you're there. There are cyclists just like drivers that have crappy attitudes and think they are entitled to the road just like cars are. The courteous and safe thing is to move to the right and allow the cars to pass as easily and quickly as possible. I hate it when a vehicle is behind me.... thinking they're being nice by going slow..... but I'd rather they get on by me
