I won't lie.  I'm a left lane guy, I'm usually goin faster than traffic so I just stay there instead of goin back and forth.  But I'm courteous and get over if I see someone comin up faster.

What annoys me is this:
A.  When I'm goin 80 and a dude flashes me to get outa the way when there's nowhere for me to get over and no way to speed up.

B. When I get over cause I see someone flyin up and once I do, they slow down and take forever to pass me.  Mainly when I have the cruise on and they don't pass me in time for me to keep goin without turnin it off before I hit the car in front of me.

I hang out in the left lane as well.. the thing that bugs me, is when someon's on my ass and I move over, only to have them move over as well behind me, and then take the next exit on the right...

[CrackerTeg]

You two would piss me off then.

If there were traffic, I'd probably stay in the left and move as needed but if its open highway, there's no need to ride the left. That's the shit that pisses me off. GTFO the way!

[Nit3h4wk C0uP3]

Oh if there's no one for miles around than yeah I'll go in the right lane,..... but usually Aunt Peg and the bingo parade are snailing it to church while I'm trying to get to work lol

This is the truth too.

Left lane is for passing only. Also, use your damn signals!! I wish bumping or rubbing was legal.  I'd nudge people all over the roads.

[Nit3h4wk C0uP3]

I would too if it wouldn't hurt my car... I hate when people don't use turn signals!!!

It pisses me off when I go to pass someone and they speed up. Makes me want to adopt a monkey to throw shit at them

[gargantula99]

Right? Like I caught up to you and you were a half mile ahead of me. I go to pass you and all of a sudden you match my speed.  So now I have to speed up to 80 when I was cruising at 75.

[CrackerTeg]

That shit irritates the hell out of me too. I had this one assclown do that to me this morning in a Tribeca. He then decided to tail me for a few miles thinking I would race him down the highway or some shit.

I'm sure you all have noticed this strange anomaly of drivers travelling in the left lane of a two lane highway. As we all know, the left lane is for passing yet many people magically forgot that rule of the road and travel down that lane. I've even seen highway bacon (no offense Country) do it. The worst part is, if you flash your high beams to let them know they are in the wrong, they get pissed off and flip you the bird like they own the damn highway. Even worse is when they hold up traffic behind them for miles because their "passing speed" is a hair faster than the guys in the right lane. The fuck is the matter with people? I know courtesy is mostly dead but the road doesn't belong to those fucktards that don't want to obey the rules of the road. That shit just irritates the ever living shit out of me and I see it all too often on my hour long commute to school twice a week.

I also hate how the worst offenders are Prius drivers and minivan drivers.  WTF!

[timot_one]

I deal with that kind of shit on a regular basis.  I'm usually on the road at least 800-1400 miles a week, and I encounter that regularly out here in Ohio.  Usually, when there's some jackass tooling along in the passing lane, I pass them on the right, get in front of them, then slow down.  If they go to pass me on the right, I just keep up with them.

I swear, one of these days I'm going to get a paintball gun and just start tagging cars with pink paintballs.

Wow bitch session much? I drive in the left lane unless I'm passing someone on the right because they won't move.

[gargantula99]

Tim drives a minivan. He's an offender! Lets get that dude!

[ikethegreat]

Wow bitch session much? I drive in the left lane unless I'm passing someone on the right because they won't move.

Agreed.  In MD any lane in free game, nobody bothers with that passing lane crap.  They don't even teach you about "passing lanes" in drivers ed. 

[gargantula99]

That's ridiculous that they don't. It's common knowledge.
