Exclamation 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.
Check out the article below

Check your

State "keep right" laws

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
