Either way, way too many people dont understand move to the right on the express lanes. Annoying.
I typically stay in the right except to pass.

GDOT also encouraged its employees via email to vote repeatedly and stuff the ballot box.

From my experience it's always two cars side by side going the same (slow) speed. I've also been stuck in traffic on those lanes, sometimes just as much if not moving slower than the GP lanes. It's only a matter of time before they raise the prices like I-85.

Yeah, let's drive even more unsafe on the interstate to prove a point .

Just move out the way and drive.

, come on, bruh. You know the main reasons, they are uninsured. Until that issue is resolved, throwing them into the jail and fining them over and over is pointless and just leads to a cycle of suspended licenses, bench warrants and overpolicing in certain areas.

Obviously you missed the part where I said that I was not in the left lane. It is not my responsibility to enable an entitled jackass who refuses to use the left lane. He is free to move over.

I didnt and my point is both of yall are being jackasses.

If someone tailgates me, I change to the passing lane or #3 lane. No need to slow down and potential cause a multi car crash because youre trying to prove a point but do whatever works for you. Hopefully, no one innocent is hurt because of the penis contest.

Most definitely, agree with you on that point as well. The insurance companies should allow these low policy limits either that puts you at risk in an accident as well.

Either way, thats why I try to have as much coverage as I can afford to protect myself and the uninsured/low insured people as well.

Oh, I get it, I'm supposed to be a pushover.

I need a bumper sticker of that Captain America quote. "No, YOU move."
