It is illegal for those dump trucks with the “construction vehicle, do not follow” sign on the back to speed, yet they do.

Every single clusterfrick on the interstate begins with two 18 wheelers side by side that won’t pass each other for miles.

Fact.

It should be a requirement for big rig drivers to score a 25+ on the Wonderlic

Well you can't forget about the cuck who is in the fast line (assuming we talking a 3 lane interstate here) and just going faster than both semi's by like 1-2 mph. Then they want to ride in the fast lane like a mile before finally getting over. If there is obvious traffic waiting behind you and you in the fast lane, then put the petal to the metal until you can get the frick over. Ain't like a cop is about to pull YOU over when everyone is trying to speed.

It's very annoying. But I don't think banning them from the left lane is really feasible.

I wish we had truck routes. Their own interstates just for shipping. It can be done.

That happens at about a 1:100 rate in the BR "metro" area. There needs to be a mandated route around BR for big rigs driving through AND they need to pass and ENFORCE a law keeping them out of the left lane when in the area. I say enforce because they obviously don't do it on the basin bridge.

The 18 wheelers passing actually creates traffic while they sit in the passing lane trying to get back over while everybody just keeps flying by not letting him over. Because he shouldn’t have passed someone going 60 mph anyway

There’s a very noticeable difference between the highways here and Europe. In France people actually used the left lane for its intended purpose. Here fricks just camp out there.

Through town at least. Or in any construction zone.

They don't frick around with this in Germany. If you're not actively passing, ticket. If you pass, but you do the "well I'm just going to pass this other car in a second" when you have room to get over...no matter for how long...ticket. Basically, if you have a car behind you and you have even a small space to safely get over, you better get the frick over.

And the tickets are expensive as all hell.

I never used to really get worked up over left lane jackasses until I saw how efficient a highway system can actually work if people pay attention, police enforce the laws, and the general public aren't self-absorbed pieces of shite.
