Here's one of my pet peeves about the slow driver; You're toolin' down the highway in the fast lane as you see that you're about to pass a vehicle in the slow lane. Now the slow lane driver looks up and sees that there's a vehicle ahead that's going even slower. So without regard to his rearview mirror, he proceeds to pull out somewhat in front of you to pass the slowest vehicle, thus getting around it himself while selfishly impeding traffic in the fast lane as well. Solution: plan ahead. The slower driver could have

A) Waited for the fastest driver to pass first, then proceed to pass the slowest driver; everybody happy.

B) Planned a bit ahead and sped up just a bit so as to pass the slowest vehicle AND got back into the slow lane in time to not impede the traffic in the fast lane; everybody happy.

Here's one of my pet peeves about the fast driver: We're all in the fast lane and passing an 18-wheeler while ascending a pretty good sized hill, then this bozo comes by everybody in the slow lane and tries to cut in at the last minute-thus endangering everybody else, impeding traffic, and being a selfish blatter-skite.
Yeah that one really burns me. I hate having to reset me cruise control over and over because some slow jerk off insisted on pulling right in front of me to pass an 18 wheeler. And of course they'r ususally only going a few miles an hour faster than the semi, so it takes them over a minute just to pass.

Ryan you silly, I was joking with you!!
As for driving slow in the fast lane,...isn't that a ticketable(not a word) offense? I know in Southern Colorado, they were trying to crack down on that. The left lane is for passing, not traveling,....am I right??
And, if it is, how long can you take passing before you can get a ticket?

BTW, I am a good driver, the best, no one is better than me!Hahahahahahahahahaha!

It's actually a bladder skite. It's kind of like a gob shighte. My dad's from Ireland and that's how they profane up there near Sligo.

To SheridanL, I'm an excellent driver. My daddy lets me drive slowly in the driveway. Kmart sucks.
