What is up with these people who get on the highways and immediately move over to the leftmost passing lane, even if you are barreling down on them, they get in that lane and stay there. You have to pass them on the right if you are unwilling to go the speed limit. What nut job goes the speed limit? Move Over a** h***.
 
It IS my number one Pet Peave!
States have highway laws, one is that a motorist : "Can not impede the flow of traffic"
I find that most of them are older ladies...
I HATE IT MOST OF ALL!!!!!
 
While I don't impede traffic in the left lane, I do only go maybe 6 MPH above the posted limit. There is a limit for a reason.
 
me and my wife like to play"spot the idiot"game while driving long distances.most of the"control freeks",thats what i like to call em,turn out to be balding middle aged white guys.i am talking about like 85% on a 500 mile trip.not sure why that is,but it sure seems to be constant on all of our trips.try counting them up as you pass on the right.(i travel around the south west if you think that matters)

Every state has some sort of keep right except to pass law.
 
I hate that I drive a 78 Chevy with 15 inches of lift and 40 inch swampers and they always get right in front of me and slow down
 
Hey Hey Hey, I am a middle aged balding white guy with a pony tail and I usually run in the fast lane with my dually and 24' enclosed trailer, passing all the slower vehicles in the right lane. This means that I am over taking traffic , and if I see someone "BARRELLING" down onto the tail end of my trailer, you can bet that I will not get over till I am done passing the slower vehicles. The guy behind can occupy himself by reading the tailgate of the trailer, and understand who is in front of him.
 
They should make small LED screens that you could put across the top of the windshield and back glass that you could program in any number of responses and call up with the touch of a button. "Move Over Dumbass", "Try Using Your Damn Turn Signal Once in a While", "The Gas Pedal is on the Right Moron" and so on.
 
About 25 years ago, I got pulled over in Missouri on a cross-country trip. I was about 5 miles inside the state line. I asked the Trooper what was wrong. He said i was driving in the left lane. I said "so what?" He claimed the left lane was for passing only. I said that I never heard of that, and I was from Detroit, and that if it was between the curbs, it was "in-play"! He laughed and sent me on my way with a caution about stay right except to pass.
 
Great window sticker, but I imagine it'd limit any good will a police officer would have when it came time to issue a ticket or not...
 
Oh man. My number one annoyance on the roads. When I lived in Seattle, it was beyond bad. People would get in the fast lane on I-5 and go 60. I'd flash my brights, and they'd FLIP ME OFF. CA is better. People don't always move over when they should, but if you flash 'em, 75% of the time they move. I always move over no matter how fast I'm going.

Want to learn how the fast lane should be used? Drive in Europe. I've driven the autostradas in Italy quite a bit- people will flash their brights for you to move over half a mile back. Because they're going 120+. I love driving over there... until you get off they highway. Then it's a free for all.

Not only is this guy hogging the left lane but he brake checks the car behind him who wants to get by. Too bad for him it was a cop car!
 
I never have this problem when I'm driving my Police Interceptor. I just set the cruise control and go barreling down the road. Most drivers see that black grill and spotlight and can't move over fast enough. The best part is when you can see someone's eyes in their rearview when they finally see you're behind them. The look is priceless!

That's the law in most, if not every, state. There are travel lanes and passing lanes, and you're not supposed to be in the passing lanes unless you're passing someone. They rarely ever enforce it, mainly because most cops are busy breaking it themselves, but I wish they would. Sure would make it easier not having to deal with slow folks in the passing lanes.

Years ago, I had a 'shipmate' stationed overseas who didn't get over quick enough...the guy behind, 'bumped' him (twice) before he was completely over. Three weeks later he received a ticket and repair bill (for the guys front bumper!) in the mail! They don't play aound in Europe...
 
The first thing I noticed in South Korea was that all the cars has what looked like sections of a rubber doughnut on all four corners. I asked the taxi driver what they were for, and he said if you're in a lane another driver wants to be in, they'll bump you to tell you to move over and the doughnuts help prevent damage from the bumps. That's the only foreign country I ever went to where I opted not to drive. :)
