Left lane for passing only...

I think they do it as a game to piss all the people wanting to roll 70+ behind them. If you've known any truck drivers, they have nothing else better to do than to piss the 4 wheelers off that cut in front of them & then slam on their brakes on a daily basis.

It’s irrelevant left vs right. As far as just having an opinion. As far as the metroplex people are just retarded. Seen a lady go down my street, roughly 50 yards until the stop sign. Looking at her phone, the whole time, kids in the back. She had a hard stop at the sign.

My favorite are the accident gazers. I wanna go home...I’m not interested in looking at a crash. Then when the gazers pass the accident they drive like assholes. No sense in seeing a person taken away to a hospital or their nice car totaled and thinking wow that could be me. Nope. Literally “derp hur dur me first, oh look Facebook “ is what their thinking.

Another one that gets me are people who pass on the right, while before coming to an on ramp or merging lane. Then make a gesture as to be baffled why they have slowed down.

People just need to tailgate big rigs more and eat it. Scraping em off the road is a good solution.

Tx State Police ran these "rolling roadblocks" when the 1974, 55mph limit was in effect.

Here I aalways thought the lerft lanes were for people headed the other way.

Have a different opinion on accident gazing. If I get stuck in some huge backup because of a wreck it had better be worth my time. I want to see the carnage.

Left lane dickbags that ride the lane the whole way are probably the same people that shift two or three lanes on a turn at a stop sign and get pissed when you make a right turn, staying in your lane. I have a dashcam in my truck now, crap has been getting out of control as the years go on.

Two vehicles driving side by side with cars stacking up behind them in both lanes. Are they just oblivious to what's going on, or are they just being assholes? You be the judge.

i can't stand driving next to someone at the same speed, but some folks seem to enjoy it.

I'll just toss this in here, and let y'all argue about it...

TRANSPORTATION CODE

SUBCHAPTER B. DRIVING ON RIGHT SIDE OF ROADWAY AND PASSING

Sec. 545.051. DRIVING ON RIGHT SIDE OF ROADWAY. (a) An operator on a roadway of sufficient width shall drive on the right half of the roadway, unless:

(A) is moving in the proper direction on the unobstructed portion of the roadway; and

(B) is an immediate hazard;

(3) the operator is on a roadway divided into three marked lanes for traffic; or

(4) the operator is on a roadway restricted to one-way traffic.

If only people understood that. In Houston, the slowest drivers will make the fastest bee-line for the left lane immediately upon entering the freeway.

I was on I-10 going to New Orleans a few weeks ago. I was just on the other side of Lake Charles & these two 18 wheelers were going 60mph, side by side for several miles & all the traffic behind us was starting to back up...I'd say about 3 miles of vehicles behind these two ass clowns. I was the 3rd vehicle behind them & finally a over pass with a entrance on to the freeway came up & I took the should over to the entrance ramp to get around them. Once I got around them the 18 wheeler in the left lane finally got over.

It was funny, we had the kids with us & as were passing them my wife gives the 18wheeler the finger, then says I'm not setting a very good example

A buddy of mine called the HP on a couple of clowns doing the same thing. They wen't for MILES side by side.

That why I'm here in West Texas. My job was pushing me closer to Dallas. I had enough of that BS. It blows my mind how many people think their invincible while driving a tin can with wheels.

Did it ever occur to you, even for a second, that your actions may be similar to the people you're stuck behind? No? Then you're the problem.

There was a time when you had to learn the mechanics of a car's components, and how to fix them.

Gave you a much finer appreciation of just what it took to stop one at highway speeds. Few of today's males, and even fewer females, have a clue ...

I use to never "rubber neck." It use to be SO frustrating to be stuck in traffic only to realize we were going slow because of people looking at the wreck.

This is true. If you have never rebuilt/replaced drum brakes, you have no clue just how much your life dangling on a string.

A lot of the problem has to do with marketing. These car commercials are ridiculous. They always portray folks in a car mashing the gas and talking about safety ratings. No car is safe. It's a coffin with wheels. The only safe factor is the driver.

 

[FireInTheWire]

I'm good with the left lane speeders. If they wanna haul buns... more power to them. I have a CDL. So, I don't speed.

I do have an issue with people who feel entitled to have a clear left lane and get pissed when someone who is slower is in their way, all awhile the right hand lane is clear and they can go around. My turn off to the house is a left hand turn off a 4 lane divided hwy. A lot of times I get in the left lane miles before my turn off.

A couple of weeks ago I saw the message signs around the state had the same message. Something along the lines of "Camp in our state parks, not in the left lane".

I can't stand it. Can't tell ya how many times i've let off the cruise control to get away from people. Traffic has gaps most of the time. Idiots travel in packs. After years of 2wheel riding you get use to finding and riding in those gaps.

I already posted that AND provided an explanation. What do YOU think that all means?

Way back in the day, when I took drivers ed there were several themes that they taught. One was to avoid "wolf packs" and position yourself alone whenever possible.
