Let me call these species as Priusians. Why are they so F bad? Look here guys, when you buy a Prius and you have a sticker, that means you can use the HOV lane only during the peak hours. You have to be courteous to other drivers, may be observe who is at your tail once in a while. It wouldn't hurt to look at your rear view mirror, not that the power from your eyes is gonna diminish the car's value. This will also be an added incentive to this accessory you paid for, which you would never ever use while on the reverse gear unlike the rest of us because of your stupid camera.
Also, I do understand 55mph is a great speed to drive in and braking often also makes sure your batteries are charged to help you attain a great fuel economy. But when there is a good flow of traffic and you guys occupy the fastest lane(the left most lane if you did not know, also called the passing lane by quite a few), it is very very very irritating.
Added observation: I haven't noticed this behavior by any other hybrid car drivers.

Gosh. After I read this post, I am glad that I am not driving a Prius. On a serious note, does that car really give a good gas mileage?
What about stick shift drivers who think that they own the roads...?
Vidya, at 4$ a gallon I think its worth to have a hybrid.
and mr.om, People driving sports cars with auto shifts(that's an oxymoron...bcos with an auto you just sit dumb: )should never even talk about intelligent and courteous stick shift drivers!
I am serious. I drove a Pirius when I was staffed at Richmond and I got the same gas mileage as with any other non-hybrid car. And the travel did not involve driving in highways!
Hmmm...Vidya, that's quite interesting to know.
