Who’s dumber in this pic? The guy driving slow in the left lane or the guys driving behind him and not cutting him off since there’s room to do that in the pic? I do loathe left lane drivers though.

I cover six states for work and I40 Hell from Memphis to Nashville is by far the worst. It will give you an out of body experience.

Truckers passing in the left lane to go 50 MPH. Maddening

I wonder why???

.[/QUOTE

In this picture, I'm sure all of these "tailgaters" are hoping the Ahole in the lead will move over. By the time they realize he is a true Ahole and not just a lazy idiot, it is too late to pass on the right. Also, if the driver in the right lane is a courteous driver he would drop a few miles an hour to allow the group to pass on the right. I've done that a number of times and is no big deal.

I'm about as courteous a driver as they come. I'm always aware of my surroundings and will go out of my way to not impede the flow of traffic. That being said, tailgating is just damn dangerous. Other people being idiots should not make you drive dangerously.

Normal people understand this. Unfortunately, there are a bunch of people who think they're entitled to drive as fast as they want on the interstate and that everyone else should adjust for them.

This. It seems the argument is that everyone should just get out of the way for the person who wants to drive the fastest.

Yes, move over to the right lane if you are not going to go the fastest. It's easy to do. Slower traffic keep right. Signs are everywhere.

I travel 65K miles a year, from the Bootheel/AR Delta to Savannah, GA, and have done this for nearly 20 yrs. I can say that it's always been an issue but it seems that over the last 8-9 yrs it's gotten progressively worse.

Yes, more driving and texting is one contributor (among others) but I feel like more people are driving slow in the left lane just to be ********.

I don't understand why someone can't be considerate of others. There's a lot of anger out on the roads these days and I believe those driving intentionally slow in the left lane are the main source of this anger.

You should move over if you are the slower traffic. It’s simple.

If your passing someone at a reasonable rate, fine. Pass them and get the 17 over.

It really is that simple.

Not sure why this is so hard to grasp. And if the issue is with someone driving way too fast, why wouldn’t you want to get out of their way and let them out of your space. It’s not the slow person’s job to police the highway and make sure people go their speed.

I go 10 miles over the speed limit tops but am always astounded at people who refuse to get over. What are they proving? They are either trying to piss of the person behind them or are stupid beyond belief. Many times it really is the later.

That you're going too fast. Slow down and obey the speed limit. It's there for a reason.

The fact that the left lane is "for passing" doesn't give you a license to drive as fast as you want. Not sure why that is so hard to grasp.

You're not the police. I move over to the right (really just stay to the right or center lane) for people who are driving too fast all the time. It really makes my drive a hell of a lot more peaceful and relaxing than trying to hoard the left lane and police them anyway.

Exactly. Guess he falls in the trying to piss off the person behind him category.

I do fall in that category. My favorite thing to do when people come racing up behind me trying to do 80 or more is to make sure they're stuck behind me (because someone is in the right lane) and then slowly decrease my speed so they can't go anywhere.

Slow down and people driving the speed limit won't piss you off so much.

I find making people actually drive the speed limit more peaceful than letting someone drive dangerously fast.

I hope someday the wrong element doesn’t get stuck behind you. It’s not worth all that. But you do you badass.

The "wrong element?" If driving slower than they'd like to be driving pisses someone off so much that they feel the need to act on it (which is what I think you're implying), that person should probably stay off the roads and seek some counseling.

Lol I jumped conclusions. He is in the stupid category too. Not worth getting shot or pushed off the wrong to make your point.

I move over for people as soon as I see them coming quicker than me.

LOL. I'm not talking about driving 50 (or even 60) in a 70. I'm talking about actually driving 70 and not 80 or more. If driving the speed limit pisses someone off to the point they'd shoot someone or run someone off the road, they need to reevaluate their ability to function in society.

Get back to me when you do the 91A from Surrey to Burnaby. Lefties like you've never seen before in your life. I average 4 double birds a week.

I submit that you are the one needing counseling to get to the root cause of your God-complex. You do realize that you are breaking more traffic laws with your attics in the left lane than the person who is "driving as fast as they want". Your choice is more dangerous than the fast driver. In my experience most people passing on the left are typically going 5 - 10 miles over the posted limit which on most interstates is an acceptable variance when passing. So do us all a big favor and stay in the right lane, I'm sure it's more enjoyable on that side.

You are the problem then. Studies have shown that congestion on highways causes more accidents/deaths than speeding. Congrats.

I do fall in that category. My favorite thing to do when people come racing up behind me trying to do 80 or more is to make sure they're stuck behind me (because someone is in the right lane) and then slowly decrease my speed so they can't go anywhere.
