This is my very biggest pet peave while driving. Are these people ignorant or just trying to create road rage? I don't care if they're going the speed limit or not. When drivers just coast along in the passing lane like they're on a Sunday drive, while others are forced to pass them in the right lane, it creates not only the potential for road rage, but also for accidents.
I usually give these people a look as I pass on their right, and I swear, I think half of them do it to "intentially" to piss people off, as they stare back at you with a smug look on their face.
In some states, they will actually ticket you for lollygagging around in the "go lane" and I notice that I don't see people from those states doing it nearly so often.
"Slower Traffic Keep Right" mean exactly that. If people are passing you on the right, then you need to pull out of the passing lane.
The left lane was not made because you got a little bored and needed a diversion, it's for "PASSING." Or, if you think your being a "do-gooder' and slowing down the traffic, because you're going fast enough, well think again. In some areas of this fine nation, being a "Left Lane Vigilante" can get you run of the road or shot dead by some Road Rage Mental Case.
The worst part is, it's not just you and the speed junkie trying to pass you that you're are endangering, but also anyone else that's on the road.

You've got that right!!! It irritates me to no end when people "sleep" in the PASSING lane. Idiots!!! Somethimes they do it intentionally. Usually I'll follow them for a few miles and if they don't move over I'll "politely" flash my lights. Sometimes they'll look in their mirror and stay where they are. Pretty much saying *uck thou!! Well...there's enough trouble around, so I usually just pass them on the right when I can. |
