That's nothing compared to when one semi is trying to pass another on I-70 going uphill between Georgetown and Silver Plume. It's 40 mph trying to pass 39 mph.

Worst I ever experienced were two trucks riding side-by-side at the same speed, under the speed limit, for a couple miles. Guess who was the first one behind them in a quarter mile line of bumper-to-bumper traffic?

I did the only reasonable thing I could do - turned into an a-hole and flicked on the brights till the frickers moved. Naturally, I got arm extended bird flip out of the driver side window as I passed, but worth it. frick 'em

This is in my top ten of my 99 driving pet peeves. My #1 is a bitch (girl or guy) on a fricking cell phone not paying attention at the front of a red light line and noticing just in time to get through and let no one else through

They do this shite to me everyday on the Tx 130 tollway. Speed limit is 80. There will always be a truck going 72 mph backing up traffic for a ways while they pass a truck going 70mph.

Even more infuriating when you are paying a toll to drive and they still back up traffic with zero fricks given.

What happens when they can't pass the idiot going 60? The block up the entire interstate bc they can't pass and everyone in their lane is trying to go around in the other?

What if they are trying to pass the three "In Tow" vehicles heading to Mexico @ 45 mph?

colloquial, but used extensively by law enforcement terminology...generations of the term "left hand" lane.

The need to be able to get in the left lane to let people on the interstate


This is the biggest problem with traffic flow IMO.

On the entrance ramp, there is a sign that directs the drivers to MERGE. That means it's their responsibility to get on the interstate (not some one else's to "let them in").


When some stupid moron in the right lane decides to be "courteous" they really aren't. They are being rude to every other driver by slowing down both lanes of traffic.

At the very least, they should be prohibited from the left lane while within the city(s). No reason whatsoever for them to be passing in urban areas.
they ride the left lane in town due to people merging into traffic dipshit.

In a perfect world, but most just gas it and merge in any way.
