I was trying to drive down highway 70 in Missouri. I say trying because I had the privilege of getting stuck behind the biggest douche of all time. This particular tree hugging Neanderthal decided it would be a good idea to cruise at 65 in a 70 on one of this country’s bigger highways. I am trying to mind my own business at a quick, but safe 75ish.
I don’t like to pass on the right, but in this case every time I tried (as a last resort) I was shocked the nature man sped up to meet the other cars ahead.
Then, I was continually brake checked because apparently I was trying to ruin his day. I finally had enough and absolutely gunned it after one of his brake checks up to speeds that are not considered safe on any American highways and was met with a swerve by the environmentalist. Like what the hell did I do to make you try and commit vehicular manslaughter!
Sorry for the rant but I had to tell someone of my prius woes!

It’s this type of shit that makes me want to straight-pipe my car, so the environmentalists can hear me ruin their day.

Asshole prius drivers are the only people in this world that make me want to intentionally roll coal from a 8.0L V10 Cummins

You think that’s bad? Out here in NM the speed limit is 75 and I’d say only about 40% of drivers actually go that fast. The majority seem to hang out at 60-65.

I feel yah. Happens to me at least twice a week going to work. People fluctuate between 60 uphill and 80 downhill. Then get pissy when passed. I usually give them a minute before I pass on the right as I HATE passing on the right. Then again I’m about 350 horsepower beyond what a Prius is packing, so it is over very quickly.

Smart! I always just give them a few car lengths, and when they ease up, they always do, I pick up speed and slide right by long before they realize. Granted conditions permitting..

To be fair, most older cars can safely travel at 65. My first car a 94 Taurus had a red tick at 65 MPH; One day I was driving home from my grandparents in Hampton VA, back to Northern VA, and the highway speeds from Hampton to Fredericksburg is 70 mph. My car overheated every time I went above the red tick. For 180 miles I was doing 65 in a 70 in the right lane and cruise control on.

Exactly!!! I did nothing other than want to cruise without staring at a damn prius all day! Is that too much to ask?

About 6 months ago I had to drive to Santa Fe from here (Denver) in a rented Fiat 500. I thought I was going to kill that car trying to keep it at 80. Plus I DD an Abarth and I kept reaching to shift to make the car go faster...no luck.

I got one of these asshole in front of me once. I was in a Zetec 1.8L Ford Escort and the douche in a 2.0L GM Meriva. So, we had the same horsepower, but he had 600 extra kg of car to push.
The thing would stall on hillclimbs (55mph on a 70mph road? yep, I call stalling), and speed back up on downhill. So I ran the high beams on the climb quickly, the douche wouldn’t move right, and I would pass him on the right. On the downhill he would break the speed limit, and high beam ME, to what I would let him pass, since I am a CIVILIZED person.
Not on the 3rd hill. I ran the beams AND THE HORN. The whole climb. Fucker didn’t budge. I didn’t pass him, on the uphill, one hand shoved in the middle of the steering, the whole way. At the apex, I passed him. On the way down, he came. I didn’t budge and brake-check him the whole way, (and he wouldn’t pass on the right), until the next climb. So, I reached 100 mph now on the uphill, with the middle finger on left hand pointing at the stars, outside the window, leaving him behind in his mediocrity and inability to let anybody pass on his left. Opened 2 miles distance. Never saw him again.

Better get a dash cam too. Don’t want to be cited for “not maintaining a safe following distance”.
