-JQ- Posted August 17, 2009 Author Share Posted August 17, 2009 Dude, I hate you... Me too! Well it won't be me on the way home...seriously. In Kentucky it is against the law to drag a$$ in the left lane (aka passing lane). In Ohio is seems to be encouraged! I don't get it. Also I wish people would get their cars upgraded - to have turn signals - and remove their blinkers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HSMITH Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 There should be a very simple law, you are allowed 1 minute in the left lane and anything over that makes you fair game for ramming off the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anubis Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Did I leave my blinker on for 30 miles again? Bleh blinkers, some ppl think that left blinker means turn right and right blinker means go straight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-ManBart Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 As a duly appointed officer of the Lane Enforcement Advisory Deparment For Official Overt Travel (LEADFOOT...aka an unmarked Crown Vic), I'll grant you a one-time exemption from self-directed beatings, but this is your one and only warning!

Flatland Shooter Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 There should be a very simple law, you are allowed 1 minute in the left lane and anything over that makes you fair game for ramming off the road. In Texas the left lane is reserved for passing. The problem is I've watched one vehicle "passing" all the way from Houston to Dallas. Its the law, just not enforced.

benny hill Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Down here in south texas most cars are slow in the left lane & won't move overbecause they don't have a drivers lic. or insurance & think they are still driving in mexico. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modoc Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 I thought that you were talking about me! I had the Amber Rotater on the BIG Orange Truck Rellay, you should try doing a diving check on the Median with the road dept. some time: It can be REALLY fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indijan Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 (edited) As a visitor in the US (im in Minnesota now) this is something i have noticed too. I have been in Kentucky a number of times, and there you rearly see this problem. I did a 200 miles drive yesterday up here in MN, and i found a few "sleeping in the left lane drivers". When i used the "European way" to get them in the right-lane (Flashing the high beam), they just slow down even more. This is a normal procedure in Europe, but i started to wonder if this is looked upon as rude here in the US. BTW: is it legal here in the us to pass these ppl in the right-lane?

Ray_Z Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 ...especially when its me.I figured I'd bitch about myself when deserved...it was me. I'm sorry I did it but no one was harmed I promise. What was I thinking?! I've lived in this armpit of the Midwest all my life (Cincinnati). take your pick I-75, I-74, or I-275 (major interstate highways in and around town) If there's a backup you can bet your last gallon of gas that there's an inconsiderate driver using the left hand lane at a slower speed than the rest of the pack. I have casually mentioned this in conversations and the response I've gotten from those that do this is "Well, you can just go around". That's hard to do if you just caused a 10 mile back up. Our local police have better things to do than to pull somebody over for going too slow. I caught the middle of a program on an educational channel about this subject. It was centered around LA and how motorists drive millions of miles every day in that city. And how the few that are poking along on the interstate will cause a backup that costs millions of dollars every month. We are becoming an inconsiderate nation of people. The idea of thinking about someone besides ourselves is nonexistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JThompson Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 BTW: is it legal here in the us to pass these ppl in the right-lane? Yes, but only as long as you cut back over in front of them just missing their bumper causing them to swerve and stomp on the brake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seth Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 You guys didn't get the memo... The RIGHT lane is the new left lane. Fastest on all freeways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Norman Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Where I live for around 6 hours a day it don't make no difference which lane you are in. Lanes 1-4 will be full and either moving at 70 or 7. You pass by finding a way to move from lane 3 to 4, over to 1 and then back to 4 winding up in 3 again two cars in front of where you started.

Graham Smith Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 I live on the I-95 corridor and doing this WILL get you run off the road by an Amish horse and buggy passing you at 25 mph over the speed limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezco Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Nice, you took a bullet for all the knuckleheads driving slow in the fast lane. Now we need someone to take a bullet for all the a$$holes passing in the slow lane! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You went to Kentucky a number of times? You mean by accident or on purpose? Flashing lights is great in Europe but it might lead to road rage here. Most people have not been to Europe so they will think you are being rude. You can pass on the right on the highway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
