You would also have to give tickets for tailgating and then; of course, speeding.


I'm not worried about these. People wouldn't tailgate as much if people got out of the way.

I went to high school in Germany and had to learn to drive there-- they took that shite seriously and would ticket you for holding up traffic in the left lane. Their roads run well. They also lack a larger criminal element though.

Define “camping.”

Camping is not going 75-80 preventing you from going 85-90 flying down the road like a dangerous dumbass.

I see waaaayyyyy too many jackasses running up on people at 90 blinking lights or even honking because they apparently think they are on the Autobahn.

Left lane is for passing only. If a car is approaching you from behind and are you are cruising in the left lane, your responsibility is to safely complete your pass and get out of the way. Don't get to make judgment calls on the speed of cars behind you.

Let me guess.

You are the guy going 85 in the left lane that comes up on my arse when I'm going 75 trying to pass someone that's going 68 in the right lane.

I wouldn't tailgate but would close the distance and wait patiently you to return to the right lane once you have safely completed passing the car going 68.

Remaining a safe distance from the car in front of you is your responsibility, in any lane, irregardless of the speed the person in front of you is going.

Your quality of life will be improved if you can speed in the left lane?


I see people flying by in the left lane thinking they are going to get to their destination faster and what's funny is more often than not I eventually see that same person again at a red light or stop sign.

One solution would be to add a third lane to all those two-lane interstates in Louisiana already, which should have been done decades ago. I hate driving through Louisiana with an absolute passion. It's either 100 mph in the left lane or 45 mph in the right lane. No in between. Makes travel exhausting.

Yes. Yes I do. You come up on my arse like a jackass. You’re going to be waiting a while. Just for the fun of it.

Correct. I am usually never in a hurry and have time to piss you off if you are driving like a jackass.

I forgot that interstates don't go through any cities at all anywhere and people never exit the interstate in said cities.

Your ticket revenue would be great for the city. As it stands you get to remain on your sanctimonious high horse. Congratulations on your exalted status.

You should put some flashing lights on your Accord and start making some citizens arrest, Mr Small Government.

In Germany, there is no speed limit on the autobahn, and it is quite safe.

A large group of cars bunched together, traveling the same speed, because some idiot refuses to move over is a lot more dangerous.

I've tried and no one has taken me seriously thus far. Need new ideas.
