Re: Left Lane Campers - Be Gone!

I was driving to Duluth last summer in the 2g at a very brisk rate of speed (traveling with a random group of crotch rockets that decided to keep pace with me). Just north of Hinckley I came upon a small group of cars (I was slowing down and was only doing about 85 as I approached them).

One of the misguided civilians decided to go vigilante on me and swerved into the left lane just as I was approaching. I had to lock up all 4 and swerve into the shoulder just to keep from rear-ending her. After I got back on the road, she drove side by side with another car at 68 MPH totally intentionally while occasionally turning around to give me dirty looks. After about 15 miles of this I had had enough so I dropped back about 500 feet and dropped down to 3rd. I built up a tremendous speed differential on her as I quickly approached her rear bumper.

At the last instant I swerved left and went around her on the shoulder. The disturbing thing was as I went around her she tried to move over and block both the left lane and the shoulder but I was going faster then she could react. The real justice was after I did that, the 6 bikes that were using me as cop bait flew by on both sides of her! That made my day.
