Is the left lane driving issue getting worse?

The shoulder is there so you can pass me

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.

These left lane offenders are usually a combination of the following:

A)Very tan,even during the winter
B)From Texas
C)Both

On the interstate?

Are they brain dead or just stupid to not understand how unsafe this is?

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

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

Most people have zero situational awareness.

Yep. Driving should be an "active" activity - not passive. Yet most drivers are passive and not deliberate.

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.

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.

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.
