If you’re in the left lane at 70, while multiple people pass you in the right lane, and you don’t move over, I need to to park your car in a garage and suck on the tailpipe, and really savior the exhaust. Thank you.

    1. Why is the speed limit so low. I see no reason to forbbid driving under 85mph. In Bulgaria it is the speed limit and there aren’t many incidents that are caused by high speed here and it’s pretty fast.

    2. There are a lot of people who don’t deserve a license.

    3. There are a lot of people who drive too slow. 10-12mph under the limit. There should be a lower limit.

      One of my personal things is I think bikes should just be allowed on sidewalks, and if a cyclist decides to be a dick head towards pedestrians, make that the crime.

      A cyclist is closer to a pedestrian than to a car by pretty much any count.

    Can confirm, am slow. I drive the posted speed limit because I got into the habit thanks to graduated licensing and there was no way I was going to lose that license when I finally got it after all the effort it takes.

    But I do try to get out of the damn way.

      Yes - my part Italian heritage of Mario Andretti comes through on the interstate or any road where I can pass and drive insane, never been in a wreck. Although as I get older I’ve noticed my reflexes are slowing so I am slowing my speed too as I did have a near death experience. So I drive more in the right lane and dude some people are really attracted to my rear end!

    This is one of the things that drives me absolutely nuts on a daily basis. The left lane in the U.S. is for passing. If you are not passing, then you should not be in the left lane. It’s that simple. Some states even have signs posted that say something like, “Stay In Right Lane, Except To Pass”. How freaking difficult is that to understand? People who can’t follow this simple rule are dumb ass, idiotic nobs.

    Thank you.
