More than 30 cars (including me) were trapped being a single car camping in the left lane for over 25 miles on I-45, doing a bit under the limit.



Have to lump in semis that will take 10+ miles to pass another semi because they're only able to go 1 mph faster than the truck in the right lane.

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

left lane going speed limit,

Pisses me off
When I’m in the left lane already going 80mph because everyone else in the right lane is going 65-70mph and some dickhead comes up behind me right on my arse pisses me off more. I’m sorry I’m not going 100mph, a-hole. A small part of me always kinda hopes that person loses control and hits a tree right after I get over.

Alabama has a state law to get your butt out of that lane. You can drive for 1.5 miles while not passing and get away with it.

All I know is that if I am in the left lane running with traffic with two or three cars in front of me and your arse flies up on my bumper like I can do a damn thing about it......I hope you get gonorrhea and your dick falls off.



Same. Pisses me the f*ck off. IDK where they think they're gonna go if I get over when there are 3 cars in front of me that I'm waiting on to move over.

OK, but if you're that retard in the first car that's preventing everyone else from passing, you're the one who needs to have it fall off.

Reread what I said.

If they're going the speed limit in the left lane IDK why anybody would be upset about it since it's illegal to pass them.


if their speedometer says they are going 70, and mine says they're going 68, what then? i don't know if it is ignorance, or being queen of everything you see, or frick you i got mine. I think a combination of all. But there is damn sure a race to get in the left lane so they don't have to bother with actually driving.

The left lane is for passing. finish passing, pull over and let someone else pass and pull over.

Well, you were irrationally mad about people enjoying an eclipse. Your opinion isn't valid.

Also do police ever write tickets for people going “ slow “ in fast lane?

Yes.

It's pretty SOP here for LEO to do this for DWI/Drug purposes, too.

I've had to explain to many TX drivers that they are not, in fact, allowed to just sit in the left lane, no matter how fast they are going.

While I agree with not camping in the left lane and policing everyone else, I agree with this even more. If I'm going 80 to pass up a line of cars doing 60 in the right lane, your dumb arse better not run up on me doing 100.

They should write tickets for left lane pokes more than speeders. I would. It seems to be the Texas license plates, old people color vehicles such as beige and their style cars like Honda CRVs. I see black woman on their phones texting holding up the middle lane.

yea I play “ let them think they get over” game. I love when don’t make it and nobody lets them over

Agree but sometimes if I’m bored I’ll do a right lane run (with little chance of success) just to laugh at everyone in the left lane scrunching up close and tight to protect “their spot.”

Watch a few videos on how Dale Earnhardt used to get people out of his way.

That’s fine as long as you’re not doing that in the passing lane

Take the toll lane if you’re in that big of a hurry. We left on time and prefer to drive safely. That’s what speed limits are for.

You want to set a precedent for police to write people tickets for not breaking the law?
