In the Ford driver's defense, she was staying in the passing lane and making no attempt to move over to the right to let him by...not sure what state they are in but some states have specific laws against preventing faster (even if they are speeding) traffic from passing...I can understand the Ford guy's anger to some degree...even though he probably was a huge tool and got what he deserved

Here in Iowa, we simply have a slow lane, no "passing lanes"... If you are going speed limit, then no need to move over to the right. Not all states have "passing lanes"...

My questions is, was she going the speed limit? If so the Ford had no business trying to pass her, no matter what lane she was in.

Driver who recorded viral road rage video speaks out

She should have been ticketed for distracted driving ("It was my instinct to just grab my phone and start recording. I saw the guy in the truck get behind me…he was tailgating me, and I was getting a little nervous."), but watching that guy wipe out is comedy gold.

Didn't watch the whole interview huh? The local po po thanked her for recording the video, no chance of her getting a ticket.

And from the video you can see that her vehicle isn't serving all over the road, she isn't having trouble maintaining her lane, the dude was far more distracted then she was....

Down here they have signs up that say, Slower Traffic Keep Right, Doesn't excuse the Ford driver from acting like an A-hole though. And too, there are drivers that deliberately drive slow in the hammer lane just to **** other drivers off, with the lame excuse that they're doing the speed limit.

I've seen those signs here in PA on the turnpike as well. I've always been of the belief that it's simple good etiquette to stay in the right hand lane when not passing to allow those who wish to drive faster to pass on the left. I thought it was pretty much common knowledge...cruising in the left lane with someone behind you even if you're doing the speed limit is plain ignorant IMO. I'm guessing that the recording driver is also a bit of an a-hole herself...
