slow drivers?
So what do you guys do when say the speed limit is like 35mph and the person in front of you is put put at 29-30mph usually always old people.........This happens to me all the time on my way to work. I usually go 38-40ish or so if no car is in front of me. Well every time this happens I speed up and pass them but the road is like one lane each way so I guess that would be illegal if you get caught. It just pisses me off and I don't liek tailgating people at all so I always try to pass but if you're driving 5mph or some shit then get the ##$@# out of the way. end of rant

Yeah, I hate it when some asshole speeds up and cuts over from the opposite-way lane in front of an oldie. Just kidding, Silver! 
Do what I do when I see an oldie in front. I slowly tap their behind slightly and they wouldn't know it. It's fun.

I get really pissed when all the slow drivers take up the car pool lane and the two left lanes on the FWY. To make it worse the other 2 lanes (5 lanes FWY) heavily congested with trucks, so your always screwed and forced to drive like a psycho a$$hole. I think 80% of Californians need to go back to traffic school to refresh their memory about the left lanes.

California should have a mandatory driving school requirement to learn some of the rules of the road.

Unless I'm in a hurry to go somewhere (which is rarely), it doesn't bother me that much. I just wait till I can safely pass them.

If there is a pack of cars going 5 mph under ther speed limit and you are going 5 mph over the speed limit, that creates a closing speed of 10 mph. If a cop see's this, it is likely he, or she will stop you and give a citation. Not because your going 5 over, but because your going faster than the rest of the group.

my biggest pet peeve are people who drive at or below the speed limit in the fast lane! there's a reason why they call it the FAST LANE! now if they're driving at or way below the speed limit in any of the other lanes, doesn't bother me at all.
