WHY DO PEOPLE INSIST ON DRIVING 40MPH IN THE PASSING LANE OF A 65MPH ROAD?

(Yes, I am yelling)

Do people pay absolutely any attention to anyone else on the road?

Which is odd, really. Most people in Birmingham drive really fast unless they are from out of state, old, or talking on a goddamn cell-phone.

Slow drivers are a cancer to society. They cause more traffic snafus, anger, and general mayhem that 50 blind-folded drunk women drivers.

I can care less about poeople going slow, I'm more tired of the people who put my life in their hands because their destination is more important then my life. Cutting in and out of traffic, shooting the gap, no idea what a turn signal is.

There would probably be less cutting in and out if the asshats who go 40mph stay out of the passing lane.

Dude, everytime I go to Birmingham, there are people doing like 40 in all of the lanes.

Even when I evacuated to Indiana on Friday. I got to B-ham at about 10pm and I was stuck doing 45 in lots of places.

So someone going slow in the fast lane gives the person behind them the right to cut me the person in the middle lane going the speed limit off because now he's mad and in a hurry?

Who said anything about rights? If you're in the middle lane though, and your coming up on someone in the passing lane and you're going to pass them if you continue your speed at 55. Then someone comes up in the passing lane going 65-70....it doesn't take a brain surgeon to know whats going to happen.

no, but if he wasn't there in the first place, there wouldn't even be the temptation to cut someone off.

Which part of 59/20? 459 is like a NASCAR track, but parts of 59/20 are slow due to Texas and LA drivers. :p
