If a person is going the speed limit, are they loitering?
If a person is going faster than the speed limit at a constant speed are they lane loitering?

seems some of this is more about allowing people who drive faster than 15 mph over the limit free access to cause high speed accidents.

I am constantly amazed how someone flashing their headlights on a vehicle just because the vehicle ahead is moving at a lesser rate than they are. Speed is irrelivant. Slow than you is a slow poke. Faster than you is a maniac.

LOL, one of my favorite Carlin routines.

Also they ought to use Gallagher's idea. Everyone has a little gun that shoots out flags that have "Stupid" on them any time another driver ticks them off, and the flags stick to the car. Then eventually the cop will see a car with a bunch of "Stupid" flags on them and then pull the driver over.

Worldwide that is considered the appropriate thing to do.

It is the equivalent of walking along a hiking trail and a guy in front of you is dillydallying and enjoying the view while you are trying to get to a particular site. You politely say “excuse me” and they shift over and you walk by.

Flashing headlights is saying “excuse me”.
