Wink For those SLOWWW Drivers in the Far Left Lane

This seems to help in getting those annoying slow drivers in the far left lane to move over when I come up behind them.

Default For those SLOWWW Drivers in the Far Left Lane

Hey, it can't hurt! Most of the ones I get behind are yacking on the cell phone and don't have a clue. But I did see one lady in a convertable talking on her cell at a light the other day. I pulled up beside her, she could not hear her conversation due to the side pipes, and all I got was a dirty look!

I had a friend back in the mid west that had a rebodied 54 Ford setting on a 60 Ford Galaxy frame and a tunnel port 427 under the hood. He worked the swing shift at a trucking company accross town. Late one night on his way home on the new chunk of I80 he was bumped from behind. He pulled over a lane. Whoever it was, also changed lanes and bumped my friend from behind again. It continued some more , finally this character passed my friend. My friend crepped up behind and started pushing the other car well beyond the speed the other car could ever propel it's self 100+. My friend then backed off and watched as this other driver slowed and went to the far right lane and stopped.
I just prefer to leave everybody in my rear view mirror. "Objects in mirror tend to disapear quickly"

I thought you had to be from Florida, that's the worst state for slow drivers in the left lane. Either a God given right or 4 miles ahead they are going to make a left hand turn.

I particularly like it when they drive slowly in the left lane then discover that they are just about at their exit. Luckily they are the only car on the road, at least in their minds, when they cut over 3 or 4 lanes to take that exit.

That would certainly scare my niece, but I don't think she's allowed to ride her tricycle in the street, let alone the left lane.

At least Florida has an excuse for why there are so many slow drivers in the left lane - they are all Blue Hairs.
Michigan, on the other hand, is probably the worst state I have even driven in with people of ALL ages camping in the left lane. I've never seen anything like it, they act as if it's "normal".
-Must be something in the water there.

No, NO,NO the worst by far is in the mountains of colorado in the Breckenridge, Silverthorne area where I happen to live. People come on vacation here and they check their brains at the airport when they pick up their rental car. And then they drive about 100 miles all in the left hand lane. And if there is snow on the ground they'll only do about 40 at most.

Those bad drivers are everywhere...especially here in Lake Havsu City , AZ.
We have some pretty old retirees, way too many "snow birds" and too many "Rednecks with below average IQ's" and just plenty of stupid un-informed drivers that don't give a Sh** about anyone ( I'm in the latter category).

I think if your head is not above the sterring wheel, you feel tech. messaging is critical while driving and eating while driving is a regular thing..you should be locked up somewhere. Other than that..maybe just bumping them off the road should be legal.
