Heard about this on the radio this morning. The DJs played the clip and were describing the scene like a sports announcer. They were losing their minds with laughter.
I deal with people like this a lot. They could and can pass but they won't, because that is not the point. They don't want to go faster; they just want you to go faster. That is their problem.
When I am late for work or seriously have to get somewhere quick, I just want to solve the problem and get there. I have no time to "flip people off". I gotta go.

If she would pay more attention to driving, instead of making videos while playing "rolling speed bump" she would probably provoke a lot fewer road rages.
Personally, I wouldn't flip her off. I'd get in front and flip a 3/4" ball bearing out the window.....

The guy was an idiot and paid the price for it. That being said, there was plenty of room in the right lane and unless the lady was getting ready to make a left turn she should have been in the right lane.

I agree. The man was an ass don't get me wrong but the guy only flipped her off because he passed her and she sped up. The passing lane slow folks are irritating but the guy got way to ticked off.

Slower traffic is supposed to keep to the right. I guess that the idea of stopping to render aid didn't occur to her? At least she could have called PD to report a wreck?

In many states the left lane is for passing only. Plus, it's a violation if your left blinker is not on when you're in the passing lane.

LOL!
My girlfriend's sister drives EXACTLY one mph UNDER the speed limit.
And she drives in whatever the hell lane she feels like. "Slower traffic keep right" is a completely foreign concept to her.
I went skiing with her a couple of years ago, and we went in her car. NEVER AGAIN!
Would rather have a root canal with no novocaine.
Can certainly picture a lot of guyz flipping her off.....

I'll join her in her laughter. The guy was being an A-hole, and just by the fact she was recording him I suspect he was tailgating her for some time. I read more about this on the Blaze, and there was more to this than what was caught on video. This guy had already passed a truck in a left turn lane and was tailgating and driving recklessly on a wet slick road. He was doing plenty to catch her attention and caused her to pick up the phone and hit record. The man in the truck fled the scene but with the video, law enforcement were able to identify and charge the driver.

Watch the vid again, she was passing cars in the right lane (flatbed truck, the back seen right at the start of the video then a few seconds later so we assume it was next to her most of the time, and a white truck), thus proper using the passing lane. Once she cleared them, the guy behind her jumped in the right lane and passed her there, faster than one could expect her to move over. At the very end of the video, it appears she has pulled over and is out of her vehicle (although the way he was acting, I wouldn't recommend she go up to check on him).
