Dear Sir,
Are you crazy? Did you happen to notice it's pouring down rain this morning?
Did it cross your mind that the driver of that 1990 Volvo wagon in front of you might have to brake suddenly, perhaps while hydroplaning on the sheets of water running down our twisting mountain road, or to avoid rocks or even boulders falling from the cliffs?
As a matter of fact, anything could happen.

Heh.
I've been on both sides of these debates. With single lanes each way, or crowded conditions that effectively result in the same thing, I support your opinion.
But I often run into (oh, I don't run into them) people who have decided that the speed they're going in the left lane is perfect for everyone, and the presence of someone behind them and no cars in the right lane is NO REASON AT ALL to reconsider.

I would have liked to have written one of those letters to some of the folks on our scenic road to the college on Saturday night. Dense fog, teen driver at the wheel... he at least learned patience and decided that those who were passing were absolutely nuts.
I brake for tailgaters!
I'm a notoriously bad driver. Ask my husband! HA! But I don't tailgate usually. I'm too afraid of what the guy in front of my may do. And can I just say that boulder is CRAZY!! WOW!!
What a jerk. (Him, not you, of course.)
Did the car perchance have Utah plates on it?
Some people are just so wrapped up in themselves they can't see five feet in front of them.
What a jerk. I'd like to know who was inside that vehicle. A certain type does dumb stuff like this. Yikes.
