I'll see your Mississippi plates and raise you Canadian plates in South Florida in winter.

I would never leave the (ETA:) right lane unless to pass. And in Europe when you do so, you simply pass and get back over.

Not here, though. Here, the left lane will be clogged with people not themselves passing.


Yep, just got back from 2 weeks of driving in Germany and Austria and it is amazing the left lane is never clogged. It doesn't matter what the speed is, if you are in the left lane you are passing and at a good clip and then getting back over.

Its almost like the social contract isn't totally broken in those countries yet.

And that's all this topic is... half the people in this country live in their own world and dont give a crap about anyone else.

It isn't just kia's, but its a huge epidemic.


It's almost funny to me, I have come upon traffic at a standstill in the left lane and the right lane is virtually wide open. People are so committed to driving in the passing lane that they won't even consider getting in the driving lane to go on.

This makes me want to go on a rampage.

Yep. Also, copious (if not 100%) use of turn signals.
