Look buddy, yes, I know the left lane is for faster traffic. I realize you want to go faster than 65, but I'm not moving over and getting out of your way. You see, I also want to go faster than 65 too. So does the guy in front of me. And, the guy in front of him, and the guy in front of him, and the guy in front of him... As far as I know, this string of cars stretches all the way across the country to California and the reason this lane is traveling so slowly is that people are hesitating for a moment before driving into the Pacific Ocean. So, quit flashing your lights and quit driving like an (3 letter word for donkey). Oh, and when you see that 50 yard break in traffic in the right lane and think you're going to zoom past 10 of us again, be assured that we'll close ranks again and not let you succeed in passing on the right.

What's up with these idiots who think they own the road?!


And more observations after driving 1500 miles in a couple days:
Pennsylvania idiots: You aren't supposed to use high beams when there's oncoming traffic.

I hate when fast traffic is brought to a slow traffic by one stupid old person that can't seem to speed up. Something else that really gets me is when I am driving down a two way, two lane road at night, and the person in front of me isn't going fast enough, I'll pass them. Legally and all, not cutting them off or anything like that, just trying to get to where I'm going a little faster. So I pass and they turn on there brights like I did something wrong. When people do that, I slow way down until they get the hint to turn off there brights. This is immature, I know, but I just can't stand people like that.

For some reason, I really enjoy acting as a "hive-mind" with a crowd of perfect strangers to shut down some douchebag. :D

Just had that very same experience this morning, except in our case the tool in the left lane slowing us all down was going under the speed limit. And some wiseguy in a Lumina got shut down on his little maneuver.

Yeah i hate stupid drivers that dont look at the big picture. Its all about the car right in front of them. It's like do you not see all the traffic ahead of me going the same exact speed. You are not going anywhere buddy.

I like when some idiot weaves in and out of traffic trying to get somewhere faster. Then 10 miles down the road i pull right up next to them at the stop light. Always makes me laugh. All that crazy driving for nothing.

If they are they should call 911...not get of the freeway and try to get hundreds of people who don't know they're having an emergency to get out of their way. That's why there are emergency vehicles...to get people the help they need quickly.

Still, I generally move over if possible to let faster traffic by. If there are cars in front of me that aren't moving any faster than I am I wouldn't move over either though.

Usually it's caused by some schmuck going 66 who feels the need to pass some semi going 65 :roll:. It takes him about a mile to pass the truck.

Oh and quit classifying all Pennsylvanians in one lump sum... that's like me saying "New York idiots.. learn to use a turn signal!" 'cause we all know you never do :roll:.

See, there's thing about matter and two objects cannot occupy the same space at the same time. Since the cars in front of the OP aren't going any faster, and there are cars beside him as well, it's simply not possible for him to get out of the way.

Touche!

But on a serious note, if you want to go 65, there are 3 other lanes (in most cases) that you can do this in. Be considerate.
