Left-lane slowpokes drive you crazy?

The words 'move over' -- even if readable in the rearview mirror -- may not mean much to them, but a ticket might. Some states are cracking down.

"Keep Right, Pass Left. It's the Law."

State "keep right" laws

Except in heavy traffic or on freeways with three or more lanes.

FUCKING. A.

This causes accidents, people stay in the fast lane going under the limit, forcing others to pass on the right = accidents.
In Germany you'll get pulled over with a quickness for not staying in the right lane when not passing, even if you're doing 150+ on the derestricted parts.
99% of the time the people in the fast lane going too slow are on a cell phone.

I don't hesitate to flash my brights, I rarely pass on the right. Tailgating isn't necessary, staying a couple car lengths back with your brights on will give almost anyone the hint.

Just because you're doing 5 over doesn't mean you belong in the fast lane.

SLOWER traffic! Speeding or not! I can't tell you how many times I have to flash someone to get their attention that I want to pass them.

I drive about 800 miles every weekend and you'd be surprised how many people park in the fast lane doing 72 miles per hour. Seriously? *grumble*

I usually set the cruise on 80-85. :lol:

Gas Man 12-10-2008 11:16 PM

I hear G-Rex... its a fuckin passing lane... get the fuck out of my way!!!

azoomm 12-10-2008 11:22 PM

Preach on...

snaps 12-11-2008 12:30 AM

our local police decided they were going to crack down on this last spring. I have yet to see a single person get pulled over for it.

BICH 12-11-2008 12:42 AM

I just move over!!!:idk:

t-homo 12-11-2008 01:00 AM

I hate passing in the right lane. I normally get behind them and turn on my left blinker. At night I will flash my brights.

Dnyce 12-11-2008 02:16 AM

:withstupid:

:rant: What pisses me off even more is on a regular 4 lane (and I occassionally see it on the interstate) is 2 fuckin' grandmas or people yacking on their fucking cell going 5 miles UNDER the posted speed limit side by side! WTF? Fucking pay attention! If you can't see over the steering wheel, get the fuck off the road! Get off the fucking cell phone and DRIVE! I've been known to split between two slow asses in front of me on certain roads around here. :whistle:

Rider 12-11-2008 08:34 AM

I just give them the middle finger as I pass.

fnfalman 12-11-2008 08:52 AM

I wish that it would be legal to kill left land hoggers for trophy.

Ninjakel 12-11-2008 09:01 AM

Those motherfucks are all over the place down here in SoFla. Old people suck.

azoomm 12-11-2008 10:00 AM

It's my favorite when someone moves to the left lane as if they are passing... then they hang next to the person in the lane next to them. Texas Drag Racing. :rant: Or, how about when you go to pass them on the right [I hate that] and you wake them up - as they suddenly realize they should be going faster.

z06boy 12-11-2008 10:19 AM

Yes they bother me and so do f*cks that don't use their turn signals.

I hate it when someone stays in the left lane when no cars are around. Move the fuck over. I also hate it when someone is flashing their lights at me for me to move over when there are multiple cars in front and to the right of me. Where the fuck do they think they're going to go? I can't move over and I can't move forward. I was stuck behind a semi passing a semi the other night for MILES. The fucker would get up to the nose of the other semi, then slow back down and kept fucking doing it. A guy 3 or 4 cars back was flashing his lights. I kept moving over to the left everytime the semi would slow down so he knew for a fact people were behind him. Yet he wouldn't complete the pass. Fuckwad.

I was behind a couple of people doing that yesterday, and I was sooooo pissed... The frigging truckers are constantly doing that around here too... one will start to pass another at the bottom of a hill, and by the time they hit the top of the hill, they're both 10 under the limit :rant:

"Keep right except to pass" is a completely foreign concept :idk:

merle 12-11-2008 02:29 PM

:rant:
Gawd, I CAN.NOT.STAND asshats poking along in the left lane. If more than one person passes you on the right, put down your fucking cell phone, pick up the clue phone and MOVE.THE.FUCK.OVER.

/rant

I sooooo wish they would enforce this law.

pickle.of.doom 12-11-2008 02:32 PM

Its amazing how much you can open some morons eyes when they force a line of 18 bikes to all move over to the right, pass, then move back over.... I think that guys passenger mirror may have been a little out of adjustment and his undies needed a change.

shmike 12-11-2008 02:32 PM

Who remembers the video (about 2 years old) of American soldiers driving a Humvee in Iraq?

They basically run into the back of anyone in front of them until the car moves over.

I'd like to use that approach here.

thats f'in great :D

Don't phase me a bit. If I am traveling faster, especially on a bike, I just see a open spot and pass. Could be left lane, could be right lane, either shoulder, if I am in a hurry and I fit, I will be gone!

thing is, around here they turn into vindictive fuckers when you pass using the right lane and decide to pull to the right just as you get around them.

Cass 12-11-2008 11:39 PM

I swear this is what they teach in TX driver's ed. Makes me IRATE. I definitely use my big truck powers for evil in traffic.

Like that matters? I-75 on the north end of ATL has 7 lanes on each side of the interstate and even early morning on a Saturday I've seen 7 cars flying formation and blocking the whole road.

Driving in Germany is wonderful. They are taught to drive correctly and have stiff penalties if you don't. Here in GA the actually took down the stay right except to pass signs about 10 yrs ago. Semi's are not "supossed" to pass in the left lane if there's more than 2 lanes but they do all the time and the stupid fucks always try to pass another semi going up hill cause they can go a 1/4 mph faster :rolleyes:

Gas Man 12-13-2008 11:28 PM

Did you guys see the tractor at the end of the humvee vid?

Porkchop 12-13-2008 11:43 PM

This almost got my friend offed and dead.

We were heading home from campus, him on his R6, and me in my cage behind. We were riding at a good rate speed in the right lane on a very curved section of 670 thru downtown. Some old bitch in a green Honda comes from an on ramp and merges instantly without looking/seeing him. His front wheel was basically equal with her back door handle. So seeing the immanent accident, I quickly cut into the left lane to cut off a SUV to give him an escape route. So at this point he had gotten over safely and was just comprehending what just happened... when the same bitch puts on her blinker and starts darting over into the left lane.... with him riding right next to her. Since it was downtown, there was no shoulder, only a concrete wall off of the white line. So as she is basically 1/2 way into his lane without noticing him, he reached over and pounds on her window 3 times. So the honda darts back over into the right lane.... and this oblivious bitch has the audacity to roll down her window and flick HIM off....

By that time I was passed supprised. I was pissed. So when he got done telling her to fuck off and went tearing off, I pulled up and told her to use her fucking eyes, etc... which she didnt like too much. But at the same time, all it would have taken was him to run out of room, get offed, and get run over by about 10 cars behind us. No doubt he would have been dead....

Racerboy 12-13-2008 11:45 PM

Germany was the best!! Stay right or get rear ended and its YOUR OWN FAULT, like it or not!!!

The fucking Blue-Hairs here in SoFla are the worst...looking like the little Bee-Hive=Woman in Ferris Beullers Day Off, hands above the head at the top of the steering wheel, barely able to see over the dash board, weaving back and forth, not knowing or caring there are others on the road, especially motorcyclists, just hoping to make it to the next stop in the tawdry little day of Bingo Parlor Hoping before having to change into the next pair of Depends.

I had some old fuck in a mini-van pull right out in front of me... he was so close to me I smacked his mirror while swerving around him. He had the balls to yell at me out the window at a stop sign.

No idea how I kept from pulling the old fuck out throught the window, tearing off his head, and shitting down his neck.

Must be getting old and calming down I guess.
