What I love is when the assholes come raging up from behind immediately flashing their lights because I am passing. If someone does that I will never get out of the left lane for them


I do this.

And most cars come standard with auto headlights now so it usually happens anyway. But you'll still see the occasional dumbass driving to work with no headlights on in pitch black. I think car companies should make all the dash lights be OUT if your headlights aren't on.


The problem with automatic headlights is that you don't realize your tail lights are not on which is just as dangerous as not having your headlights on.

That's mainly what I'm referring to in regard to DRLs. If the DRLs are on, your dash lights should be very dim or off completely since your tail lights are not on. If your headlights click on, your tail lights should follow suit.

Thank you. Like I said, not talking about Granny in the Crown Vic with two hands on the wheel going 60 in a 70. She shouldn't be on the road.

These traffic threads always remind me of a quote by George Carlin.

"Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac?"

That's fine. Pass the slower driver and then get your slow arse back in the right lane.

I travel in the right lane when I'm not passing or if someone wants to pass me. I generally drive in the left lane because I set my cruise on 76-78 and pass other cars quite often.

I think it is time to cut grooves in the left lanes that would cause an annoying vibrating sound as you drive over them. Space them out so that they happen every 10 seconds. I guarantee Left Lane Larry would get over in the right lane to avoid the annoying sound.

in the left lane slows down traffic and makes people brake on the interstate, yes she is more dangerous than the person passing

I hate people who think the left lane is a passing lane in town and ride your arse expecting you to get over.

It is a passing lane on any multilane highway. Of course if you are in BR, the congestion part of the rule probably applies.
