I hope this clears up any confusion!

Scottwax · 06-10-03, 10:29

And to make sure there is no more confusion on this matter...

Man, if only everyone here knew the rules of the road and actually exercised them. Left lane bandits piss me off and make my blood boil. Just as much as being tailgated.

"Slower traffic keep right - MORON!"

If I had money, I would actually make a TV commerical that made this point. I really wish police enforced this as much as they do speeding. I remember in my defensive driving class a few years ago that 40% of all accidents were caused by unsafe speed, more than half of those accidents were caused by people driving too slow. I was driving to work on the tollway today, and there were vehicles in the middle and left lanes going 55 mph! RIGHT LANE PEOPLE!!!!

I believe that in the Chicago area, police officers are going to start ticketing any slow moving traffic in the left lane!!!!! Sweet!

If the govt is going to spend a ton of money on the "click it or ticket" ad campaign, why not make a "slower traffic keep right" campaign?

There actually is one of those here. A local lawyer has a bunch of
traffic safety tips commercials and keep right except to pass is
one of them.

There would definitely be more income from lane choice violations, at least here in Texas. As soon as I get into Arkansas, everybody suddenly learns how to drive. Oh, and if people want to kill themselves by not wearing a seatbelt, that is your choice, just don't make me late to work by driving under the speed limit in the left lane.

Oh, and while I'm rich, I will also produce an instructional video on how to properly merge onto a busy highway. Hint: it doesn't involve using your brakes.

Hmmm....

When I was a kid in South TX, people used to pull over to the shoulder to let you pass on the two lane highways. Driving courtesy was pretty much common. It's sad to learn that it has changed so much.

Leftlane bandits are rampant in MD. Seeing that it is an entitlement state, it's really no surprise.

That's only because they do actually enforce it in Arkansas. It used to be real bad there until about 5-6 years ago when they started to clamp down. Funny thing though, they cross the border into Texas and then sit their rearend in the passing lane.

Great rules/laws to live by, but I think that folks that don't use their signals should be shot!
