Is the left lane driving issue getting worse?

It seems that every time I drive out of town, I encounter more and more of these idiots that drive in the left lane without the intention of moving over for faster traffic. The worst part of it are the people in the left lane that will stay beside a vehicle in the right lane. Are they brain dead or just stupid to not understand how unsafe this is?

Do you have a loud and lifted truck?

Most people have zero situational awareness. They don't consider how their actions might affect others. And then some just don't give a shite.

YES!
Tennessee and Georgia both have 'Slowpoke Laws'. However, lazy arse cops won't enforce it. Lot easier to catch speeders, so they go for the low hanging fruit.

Sometimes I wish you would try that left turn on the interstate. See how that works for you.

A)Very tan,even during the winter

Just curious, are you certain that maybe it isn’t just one car in that lane that won’t get over?
Maybe there’s a line of cars in the left lane who are going faster than the folks in the right lane, and you should just get in line with the rest of them.

Seriously, poor education and lack of parental instruction combine to where today the general public is barely above amoeba in development.

On the interstate?

This is the answer. It's part of being brain dead.

all of the above. It is worse now because of smart phones. Smart phones make everyone and everything, DUMB!

I stay in the left lane so people like you understand I'm the one in control. Feels great!

I'm not a boomer but the ugliness of the internet is coming to life. Some people trolling in the left lane playing fricking games. Others entitled to that lane. No common courtesy etc

The left lane is for cruising while you facetime your babymomma. That way you don't have to worry about traffic merging from the right.

I think one thing that has gotten worse is left turners at a traffic signal. I was taught (and it seems to me like most drivers used to do this) to pull out into the intersection so you are completely poised to turn left when you get an opening from the oncoming traffic.
Now, it seems like I routinely get stranded in the left turn lane because the dope in front of me doesn't even inch out...sometimes completely missing the chance to turn left.

Yes, absolutely getting worse. Due to the entitlement mentality that is eroding respect in other parts of everyday life. They think they can drive wherever, however and everyone else should accommodate them. Get out of the way. No matter what speed you are going, if someone has time to pass you in the right lane, you should have moved over.

Nope. I see it time and time again. Two cars are traveling side by side on the interstate going along around 70MPH with nobody blocking the way ahead of them. Neither one of these dolts speeds up or slows down, creating a barrier for any faster vehicles. If one of these cars drifts over even a foot or two, there would be a pile-up involving the two cars and everyone else behind them. It's insanely unsafe.
