That's one thing I dont get when riding with out of towners... If I'm in the left lane and doing 85. I'm passing everybody. Guys from other states move over to the center lane, just to move back to the left to pass the next guy a 1/2-1 mile later, when nobody is behind you trying to pass you. WHY?

F that... when I'm traveling on my bike I rarely come out of the left lane... nobody usually is rollin faster than me so why should I if I know I'll be back there to pass again very soon.

From your mirror, it's obvious the right lane is totally clear........So why are you still in the left lane if you're not passing someone?

And how do YOU know nobody wants to go faster than you? Can you read their minds?

Ive been driving the same way since I got comfortable behind the wheel, so a few months after I turned 16 lol. I think thats why people look at me like Im a lunatic around here but when I lived in MI for a year I fit right in. I used to do 100 everyday going to work on a stretch of 14 I think it was and would have people right there with me the whole way.

He clearly said there were just as many people right in front of him. So if he moves they can do what, move up 6 feet?

There is a big truck in the center lane and right lane. You can barely see the tires below my rear view of the center lane truck... there was no where to go... stuck.

Plus I was getting off a left lane exit about a 1/2 mile from when this pic was taken. Otherwise I would have tried to set up a better angle thru the mirror.

F that. That's what I'm saying... I'll roll faster than any of these fucks. But there's no where to go.

That DRIVE RIGHT shit is the BS I was just talking about.

If everyone followed the same rule there wouldn't of been any traffic in front of you. But because everyone thinks they'll go faster than everyone else or they just don't understand the rule of the road, you end up with a stack of cars.. So F that!

Thank you... finally somebody that understands. I know why. Cause you drove in Michigan for some amount of time.

I didn't make this shit up. I know plenty of people that have moved here from all over... florida, GA, tenn, Cali. It was my buddy from Cali that said... drivers in michigan are F'in crazy.

On 696... left lane. Mofo's are doing 90+. REAL TALK. When I had a 4x4 ranger I would ride on the speed limiter at 94mph... use to piss me off like no other!! Or I'd go to pass some fuck doing 82 in the left... BAM hit taht 94 speed limiter. For those that don't know... I-696 is 40' below ground... it's Michigan's auto bon. Use to regularly do 160mph+++ on the rockets thru there... YES IN TRAFFIC!!! F'in INSANE even for michigan.

OK, so how about when traffic opens up, and there's nobody blocking you AND nobody you need to pass........You'd move over then, right?

That's until the Florida drivers invade. I left July 5th from Atlanta to Savannah and was surrounded by Florida drivers. If there was a slight hill and turn a mile ahead, then it was time to slow down. I was happy to get past Macon onto I-16 (FL people usually stay I-75) which is the Georgia Autobahn. Set your cruise around 90-100mph and chill.

But in Atlanta, we got mad tailgatin skillz.

The nicest drivers are NC drivers. I've never seen people go so far out of their way to stay out of the faster lane.
