Well I understand your frustration with that since it'd be legal to pass them.


frustration doesn't start and stop at legal vs not legal. People get frustrated because retards like you mess up the flow of traffic, causing a line of cars rather than spread out easy going traffic.

Even if you are going the speed limit or less, if you're in the passing lane but not passing, it's illegal, so next time you best stay legal so you don't get all jacked up by the big scary law and move on over.

The reason I'm on your arse in the left lane, is because you didn't pay attention to the flow of traffic, or me flashing your lights at you when I was behind you five car lengths ago, etc.

Too many people are unwilling to signal other drivers to get their face out of their phones. Honking, etc.

GTFO of the way. Consider your pending bowel movement in the right lane, douche.

The speed limit is the speed limit so two wrongs don't make a right. Passing in the left lane all within the context of the law. Sorry, if the logic escapes you. Otherwise, I would get no ticket for driving 90 mph in the left lane while passing up another car.

So is speeding.

I hate left lane campers too but citing the law while being mad because they are keeping you from breaking another law is pretty hypocritical

One of the State Trooper captains was on WWL radio several years ago. He stated that it’s your obligation to move over even if you are speeding. You are not allowed to impede the left lane even if the approaching driver is speeding.

So when you’re paying cash, you don’t have to go inside?

doesn’t care

They dont want to be in the lanes that have traffic entering and exiting on the roadway.

Plus, you know they dont care, because when its time to exit they want to ride their brakes so that they can find a clear space to begin moving all they way to the right lane

You are not allowed to inject any logic here.

Here is the deal old farts that camp, am I allowed to yell at your grandkids in gas stations when they're being assholes? Because the only way I have to yell at you is with a horn.

This thread reminds why as I have gotten older, I tend to do the about speed limit in the right lane and let everyone else fight and jocky for position, speeding up, slowing down, tailgating, honking, flashing, worrying about cops, raising their blood pressure...

Meanwhile, I have the cruise on, get better mileage and only have to occasionally pass a semi or rv. A much calmer driving experience

Not sure but I notice it a lot in Florida


Florida recently passed a law (not sure if it is in effect yet) that if you are in the left lane and not passing anyone you can get a ticket. We'll see if it is enforced.

This right here

The amount of left lane drivers that allow space for cars/ 18 wheeler's is the problem.

If I'm in the left lane and I see an 18 wheeler get over 3 cars ahead of me then someone fricked up and needs to get out the way.

hate to stereotype but black females are the worst about driving under 70 in passing lane.


Was behind one yesterday that took me longer to pass than I would have liked due to traffic. She was facetiming on her phone going about 65 in the left lane.

The single worst are Hispanic females.

I do think folks from south of the border don’t get it.

At the last minute impeding traffic even more. I won’t let them over. They can find the next exit.

I don't know that they're the worst per se, but they are pretty bad. It amazes me how often I'll see these trucks going close to 100 mph on the interstate.
