In 29 states it is against the law to drive in the left lane if you are going less than the flow of traffic (no matter what the speed)

In addition, in 11 more states, it is unlawful to drive in the left lane if you are not either turning or passing

[FONT=&quot]"Traffic engineers tell us that speed doesn’t kill; differences in speed kill. In fact, the driver going 10 miles an hour slower than the rest of the cars on the road is actually more dangerous that the driver going 10 miles an hour faster. Cops in some states have started issuing traffic citations to people who refuse to yield to other traffic while in the left lane."[/FONT]

Bravo.

I drive a lot. I drive as fast as the conditions will allow like I do everything else in my life.

There is nothing more aggravating and dangerous than people who camp in the left lane and slow to the speed limit or below.

Happens all the time these days because phone readers / texters seem to feel safer in the left lane. They get there and lose focus on the road. Constantly pumping their brakes, and causing all kinds of dangerous conditions for those behind them.

Others also slow when they get there. I swear that they have no control in their lives and get off on watching all the pissed off people behind them. It's the only thing they can control and they sickly and sadistically drive accordingly.

Then there are the people who are just plain stupid and or self absorbed to the point that they have no idea that driving is an interactive act involving an unwritten pact between you and the other drivers around you. Get a f'n clue.

If you see anyone come up on you (use you're damned rear view mirror) and you are in the passing lane, get the hell out of there. You are a serious hazard to the rest of us who are concentrating on driving.

Rant over.

Driving in San Francisco is definitely an offensive situation. Traded paint with a cabbie over the turn lane one morning on the way to work.

Either going 2mph in traffic or 90 mph in all lanes. Crazy down there ! I lived in San Diego and feared for my life everytime I rode my motorcycle

Yep felt like people were trying to kill you.

I have a crown Vic and it's a gift and a curse. They get out of your way most of the time but when there's only 1 lane they go the speed limit and you're stuck behind them

You then have never driven in another country. Try driving in Costa Rica or Mexico. You will never complain again.
