we5leyz, do you hear that? That is the sound of people in an online community giving you good advice, and it appears you have decided to ignore it. You have also failed the Cherry-picking test. So if neither advice from fellow members of this community nor the laws of the land is enough to persuade you to drive in what appears to be a safer manner, then perhaps the laws of physics and the pimp hand of experience will be far better persuasions.
I just hope that when it happens to you, you don’t end up adversely affecting someone else’s life.
I wouldn’t drive like that unless I was in a mad rush for a class midterm or something or someone I knew was on their death bed.
Can’t be good for gas mileage either. I’ll guess your getting about 20MPG but you could be getting 30 if you stay with the flow and use brakes a lot less.
Imagine if everyone drove like you did, it would be chaos. I know that people driving slow in the left lane is annoying and I do some passing and tooting like you do but not so aggressively.
I was not going to get into this but I sent this clip to a friend of mine’s son (he is taking the course to become a LEO) and asked him to watch it and see how many violations he could spot that this driver did. Well he decided to take it to class with him on his lap top. after the instructor and all of the students examined it. they first asked if that was the only horn on your vehicle (because they never heard you blow anything else, which would be another violation there) They counted 47 in the 8 minutes of drive time. they sited improper lane changes, wreckless driving, improper use of horn, speeding, refusing to yield the right of way (you actually cut off a car that was attempting to change lanes in front of you and then cut him off coming back into the lane he was attempting to get out of, your not over there, when people in front of you put on there turn signal they are turning, not signaling you that it is safe to go around them) following too close (ever hear of the 3 second rule?most of your video was less than a second between you and the car in front of you).
I do thank you for your service (that is sincerely, my wife was there in 91,03,05-09 she toured both enlisted and later as an officer) but you definitely need a course to acclimate yourself with civilian life again. I know you don’t drive like that on a military base (here or over there). The speed limit on base over there is mostly 12 mph and 35 here, now off base was the extreme opposite.
Driving is a privilege not a right. learn how to drive properly again before you either have an accident or more likely cause one. BTW if you want to legally have a trainhorn on your vehicle have the button separate from your car horn and don’t blow it in an area that has a noise ordnance.
I’m not going to fuel this fire anymore, as most people will never understand unless they’ve been put in someone else’s shoes, but I’m going to stay on topic with an interesting video I found. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7BFX0-MJE8

Not sure who said it, but if everyone drove like me, there would be no more DOUBLE PARKING, left lane would be clear except to pass, no more jay walking when vehicles are approaching, everyone would look both ways before crossing, cars would be stopping at stop signs instead of pedestrians, everyone’s headlights would be on during sunset, sunrise, dusk, weather, no more cellphone to the ear while driving, when the light turns green, people will actually go, NO MORE RUBBER NECKING! no more insurance fraud as everyone would have a dash cam, and many more I can not list off the top of my head at the moment. I’d also imagine there would be a lot less traffic and train horns would only be used for fun since there would be no more stupid drivers.

This is very true being the fact that if everyone drove like you did in the video then the highways would be one big traffic accident. LOL
Lol, you don’t get it. If everyone drove like me, there would be NO driving like what you saw in the video, because there wouldn’t be a need to be driving like that. There would be no more left lane drivers, thus no more passing on the right.
LOL is laughing out loud… no sir YOU don’t get it. if you had walked in MY shoe’s you would know. I’m retired LEO (Law Enforcement Officer) and yes I saw were all the people drove like you did and in the span of 3 hours so many wrecks occurred you really had to remember where you were. because these were professional drivers it was called NASCAR…
the way you were driving was constantly changing lanes so many near misses (you misses the back of an 18 wheeler by inches) The irony of your whole video was when you got behind the bus that said “Learn to Drive” because you sir do not know how to drive and it is only a matter of time before you have a serious accident or cause one. BTW if YOU would obey the law and drive properly that would go a LONG way to safety on the roads. did you ever stop to think that the guy doing 55 in the passing lane also thinks that he is comfortable driving there? or the dummy with the cell to his ear or worse texting on the cell all of them are just as comfortable as you are with there driving and the truth is that ALL of them and you are breaking the law you have already said that you have had your share of tickets but still you are comfortable with your driving. well when the accident happens and you get charged with manslaughter and are sitting in a cell tell me how comfortable you are then. I know because I have scrapped enough indestructible 20 something year olds off of the highway that were comfortable with there driving skills but never looked out for the other driver. As a driver your number 1 priority is to avoid an accident not drive like Hell and honk at everyone driving slower than you. So Grow Up before either you can’t or you cause someone else not to be able to.
Kuwait Hwy 30… they drive like you do and there are more accidents there than not. (is that where you learned how to drive like that? I dare say more than 1/2 the accidents there are NOT accidents I know of several enlisted that “caused” the accident because they didn’t get out of the way of the natives quickly enough) Autobahn when they have an accident there… not much left. if that is how you want to drive move there… our LEO’s have enough to deal with without you contributing more to it.
You still don’t understand, in NASCAR with PROFESSIONAL drivers, their goal is to drive as fast as possible trying to pass each other. There is no comparison, I am not in constant acceleration to go as fast as possible. They do not pass and then cruise. It’s either 100% braking, or 100% acceleration. That comparison is STUPID. You’re confusing people who drive like this for fun and adrenaline.

Those drivers are IDIOTS. I wish I knew about dash cams when I was over there, instead me blasting train horns, I was throwing bullets at them. How stupid do you have to be to see an entire Army coming up behind you and you just keep cruising along, or speeding up to a convoy of tanks and trucks to try to over take them, or driving head onto to them. There is something in their water that makes them retarded, and they complain about being shot at.
