re: Why do Texans and New Yorkers drive in left lane???

Its really bad in Texas. Not so much in east Texas which is about the same as the east coast but in West Texas folks will stay in the fast lane doing the speed limit or less and will not get over ever. I have been told it was due to deer and hawgs and javelina but they are just as likely to come from the median as the shoulder of the road and most of the highways in west texas have plenty of shoulder with no vegetation...so much so that at one time if you were on a 2 lane and someone came up behind you it was expected that you'd move over onto the should so they could pass without getting in the other lane. I don't know why it is but if you in West Texas and there is not another car in sight chances are when you see one it will be in the left lane running the speed limit or less...
