That dude wasn't right for flipping out but if you're in the left lane and there's someone behind you, you should be moving over. That's not "for nothing", that's "you were being kind of an asshole and ignoring basic highway etiquette"

When the right lane is jammed up doing 65 im not gonna hit my brakes and work to squeeze in when im already doing 10 over. If it was empty that would be a different story

Oh so this is on the 2 lane stretch? I take back what I said. The other driver was kind and merciful for not taking vengeance on you.

If you can't move up enough where it's easy to get over and out of the way when someone comes up behind you, you shouldn't be entering the left lane at all.

How are you not understanding this? I’m doing 10 over whizzing past any cars in the slow lane. I’m not going to slam my brakes to merge in with them to get out of this guys way.

And if someone is in the left lane looking to do 11 or more mph above the speed limit, it is your responsibility to move over and just let them.

If you 're not able to handle that responsibility, that's fine. Just stay out of the left lane. You're not built for it. Unless you're a cop, you're not the arbiter of how fast everyone else can go. You should be treating any vehicle behind you in the left lane like an ambulance. Move over and get out of the way.
