Yeah, that's the kind of courtesy (and brains) that I respect.

Too bad truckers won’t do the same.

I will slow down for big rigs going up a bridge, because I might nose ahead of them by the top, but they'll overtake me on the way down.

Learned that lesson trying to pass a school bus. I almost missed weigh-in.

Another thing that really sucks are the people that get in the middle lane of a 3 lane (in one direction) highway. They figure that they can cruise at whatever speed they damn well please, because there is always a lane to the left to go around.

But what happens is that just as many people pass these idiots on the right as the left and once these cars pass said idiot in the middle, quite often the two passing cars will reconvene and almost hit each other in the middle lane.

That's because we don't have toll roads to pay for our streets and our police have to set speed traps to make up for it. Thanks Obama.

And no, I won't stay out of the left lane if I need to pass someone.
Then you're absolutely part of the problem. Because, it sucks to have a truck with a governor on it like that, but the bottomline is that you have no business passing people in that situation.

The other part of the problem is that Louisiana drivers are just slow, period. The reason people won't use the passing lane the way it's supposed to be used is because you have these fricking dumbasses going 15 mph under the speed limit in the right lane, just because. I mean, drive the fricking speed limit.

The worst example of this is the stretch between Highland Road and Hwy 73 Prairieville Exit. People will slow down to 60 mph there. And there's no reason to slow down, at all. They do it just because. It's odd.

I love drivers like you. I pull over all the time to let y’all by to run interference for me. Y’all keep the cops busy and they never notice me.
I call y’all cop bait.
Thanks

You running a contest to see how many times you can say the word "ya'll?"

Haven't had a speeding ticket in 10 years btw.

Wanna drive a stretch of interstate that'll make your blood boil? I-10 East from Nola to Slidell. It's three lanes the entire way, yet you're always going to have cars riding each other's asses in the left lane while the the center and right lanes are clear.

Every. fricking. Time.

It's the worst possible example of monkey see, monkey do. It's almost as bad as watching some dick merge onto the interstate and immediately and aggressively lane change to get to the far left lane...to go 71mph.

You can't make this shite up.

I'm not part of the problem. The left lane is for passing. I use it to pass, then I get back over.

Sure. It just takes you ten minutes to do it. But anyway...

What gets me are the jackasses on Airline who think turning left 3 fricken miles ahead gives them the right to own the left lane.

So you're mad because it inconveniences you?

You're part of the problem because you're impeding traffic while youre in the left lane.
