Brother I hear you. In a fully marked police unit running lights and sirens people will do everything except get out of the way. And if they aren’t on, forget about it. I get tailgated. Passed. Honked. You name it. And if I’m going to work or home I get complained on for speeding by people who actually take the time to call the station and tell them that car #whatever is speeding. Oh ok. Thanks for the call. We will address the issue.I get people driving around me angry all the time. Swearing at me, middle fingers and not moving to the right. And that is with my lights flashing, siren on.
And it drastically varies by location. I drove my Raptor to Moab from South Florida twice. The second I leave the state it’s a whole other world. People signal and leave the left lane when they see you coming before you are anywhere near them. They thank you for letting them pass/merge, let you pass when the need arises. Blew my mind.
I used to think it was common knowledge that the inside lane (left lane) was for vehicles driven by people who had somewhere to go. But down here, no one gets out of your way. You have to ride people in their slipstream and then pass or you aren’t going anywhere. And people wonder why I have an onboard train horn system that’s always switched on. A regular horn in Florida is as meaningless as the sound of wind around your car.
