If you're in the left lane on the highway, and you get passed on the right... (eat, vehicles)

[mrsb057]

Check your mirrors people and move with a purpose!!! thats all i can really say. I hate when i am coasting along at the posted speed limit of 70 on 1604 and someone is just creeping along in front of me and impeding the rest of us that are attempting to move with a purpose. If you want to take a leisurely drive do it in the country or at night or get in the middle or right lane where those of us who have somewhere to go wont get stuck behind you.

Oh btw I also hate rolling roadblocks.

It would have caused a MAJOR traffic jam if we wouldn't have moved them. We were blocking both lanes of Hwy 90E out by Grossenbacher.


Sarahdsmom, I totally agree with you. There are other reasons to be in the left lane (sometimes). I think that everyone should just be considerate of their surroundings.

the report depends on the damage, if its over 1000 used to be 500 then it was not necessary to get a report done, unless somebody is injured.

there are times that driving on the left lane will make traffic flow better of course I am refereeing to downtown, Everytime I come near Highway intersection I hop on the left lane to avoid those last minute jumper's that will slow me down.

Of course driving on the left lane in the city is permitted if it keeps the flow of traffic going, unless there's a sign posted stating the obvious.

but try leaving 5 minutes earlier every time you leave somewhere, it can do wonders.

Flash to pass and leave some room, why do you have to creep up all the way up his rear? Honestly I dont know whats wrong with some drivers complaining about drivers when in fact they are the ones that are driving like bats out of hell.

I feel her pain. I have to do that far too often. If I manage to leave the office by 3:45, I can generally make it home by 5:30 or so. If it's 4 or later, I plan for 3+ hours. Some days I just stay for an early dinner then leave after that, and get home about 8/8:30 or so.

Most have been a pretty nice drive.
just between Schertz and 410 (about 10 miles) everysingle day I pass at least 2 cars that have nobody in front of them and 5-10 cars behind them.

I hate to say this, but almost everytime it's a senior citizen, woman or a guy driving a bigfoot.

We'll be driving behind the idiots that left home early to comfortably cruise on the left lane.
