All of the sudden I'm seeing more and more left lane drivers get to their exit or intersection, then dart for the exit. Crossing 2 or 3 lanes of traffic. Cutting off everyone else.

Anyone else notice this new, even more annoying habit.

I've been seeing this more than I can remember. Makes me nervous when I'm flying by people and I'm in the right lane. Always looking for them to cut in front of me.

I'd be for dragging these people's children in front of them and executing them before offing the driver, just so they know for sure their bloodline is extinguished.

Saw it twice today. Dangerous move for sure.

I, for one, am so glad the OT is on constant alert for driving infractions.

I see the opposite much more. Cars getting onto the interstate feel the need to immediately get in the middle or left lane, despite their lane being free and clear. When I'm driving in the middle lane I have to be extremely cautious when approaching on ramps.

Just think how you'd feel if you were in the right lane instead?

Which may be why some people do this.

That's funny. Just today, I nearly drove over a blown-out truck tire on the shoulder because a Louisiana driver wouldn't take the cue on the old Texas courtesy move of allowing them to pass. Even though this dude had a dotted line on this two-lane highway (meaning he could pass without me even getting over).

People don't care about their fellow man, have a sense of entitlement on the highway which manifests itself by not paying a goddamn lick of attention, and just flat-out unskilled drivers, like that Louisiana peckerwood.

Had a guy on I-10 yesterday,just west of Baton rouge,tooling along in the left lane at about 55mph in his toyota 4x4 pu. As I am passing him in the right lane,I see he has his cell phone to his ear,so I just stayed beside him and blasted him with my air horn.
When he looked over at me,I gave him sign language for WTF are you doing? Then I gassed it and went on by,after I cleared him,he got his arse over in the right lane.
The ones cutting across lanes like that are probably using a crappy arse waze app on their phone for navigation to a place that they don't know.

I've been two lanes over from my exit because sometimes I just get in the zone while driving. If I see any cars, I'll slowly get over. But if I can't make it in a non Asian woman driver manner, I'll just take the next exit.

You are right. I think most of these scum drivers get in the left lane so they can look at their phone and not have to worry about running up on slower drivers in the right lane. To hell with anything behind them!
Then they are so engrossed in their phone, they almost miss their exit.
