70 in a 70 is slow for the left lane.

There is no way that you can text accurately while driving like that.

To the 6 downvoters, I meant it can't go fast enough, not that I'm knocking bumpers out there and getting people out of my way.

This thread reminds me of the George Carlion quote.

Pass them, then crowd them getting back over. Maybe brake check.

I'm so glad I don't have to get on the interstate to get to work.

Sure the left lane slow drivers annoy me, but it doesn't seem to be an issue often for me.

My mental battle is with the worthless fckers who use the interstate on ramp as their "cut in line" free pass.

I drove into the Nola area from the west most days and traffic is always backed up in the afternoons from Williams to Power. Every damn day these arse monkeys jump out of traffic and cross the two white lines before the on ramp from Williams even begins and haul arse up to the front, cutting in at the last few feet of course.

I flip them off some days. I'm trying to build up the stupidity courage to block the lane like some old baws do from time to time. That makes it a little more entertaining to see that happen.

Here are my go to's before I try to make a right lane pass:

1) Drive in their left mirror (lanes are wide enough here to do so)

2) Blip my high beams to let them know they are driving too slow

3) Ride their arse for a few hundred feet.

What are your go to's OT?



By the time you did all of this you could have just passed them in the right lane.

Cops will tailgate slow drivers who won't get over. Have you never seen a cop speed either? Shocker, but they don't always follow the traffic laws

Pass on the right, get back in front of them, turn on the windshield sprayers, check my rearview mirror to see if they turned their wipers on. Smile and nod as I bask in my righteous victory.


A few pennies tossed out the window will create a nice effect also.

Or they should of never been in the left lane clogging up me and the other 5 cars behind me.

This plus cutting quickly back over to the left lane just in front of them, a shot across the bow if you will, to enforce the message.


This is my move as well. Gonna start adding the windshield washer spray to my repertoire as well. I never think of that.

I was in Spain last month for 3 weeks and I swear they had the best left lane etiquette I've ever seen. They used this method when coming up on you:

But nobody ever blocked the left lane. They immediately get over. It was amazing.

Because EU folks for the most part know how to drive at any speed and respect the road.
