Yah, men are guilty too. I don't own an electric razor and heaven help a guy dumb enough to use a straight razor. then that would eliminate some foolishness from the gene pool. I had my hot car during the 60's and could drive like a bat at of hell but never tried to bully any one over. Drove I-75 from N GA to the FL line at 90 mph in light traffic once. Slowed down at the FL line. Within a 15 mile stretch three wolf packs were waiting for those I had passed and then passed me back. Some made it all the way to only be stopped by pack #3.

Unaware! They were unaware! Clueless! Had no clue! Just minding their own business on the road and everyone else be damned.

So if that's the case. then it follows that the overwhelming majority of drivers are simply clueless about what is going on, on all four sides of them while driving. Which on personal observation over the years, appears to be the case.

So those of us who drive defensively and are lerts - high fives! We prevent a LOT of accidents and annoyances.

Years ago I was driving my 9 second Astre, and was in the right lane. I started passing cars that were backed up behind a clueless idiot in the left lane. When I got beside of the clueless idiot, I jumped on it. With the street tires spinning, and the sound of the blast of getin' it exhaust, the clueless idiot ran off the left side of the road and got hung up in the median. I slowed down to the 55 I had been running previously and kept getting high fives and thumps up from the ones in the line of traffic in the left lane. No doubt if I had not had 4.56 gears in the car I would have been going a lot quicker!

Funny. And since it's a Forum, and people are never finished giving their opinions, you may as well pass out more clubs.

If you are being passed on the right, you are in the wrong lane.

To answer the op\s original question i'd conclude that after 400 replies the overwhelming majority of posters would agree that yes you're in the wrong lane..

I just passed a pregnant roller skate (moped) in the left lane) . Lady was clueless about her surroundings but she had a pretty pink helmet on. All I wanted to tell her was that she needed a good leather jacket or the twins might get a case of road rash. (30 in a 45). No I didn't get road rage. Not a bit.

Ah shucks, lets go for a thousand. No one needs to read if they don't want to.

Humor is good medicine for what ails the soul.

No. I'm going to adhere to the speed limit. If people end up tailgating me, no problem. But of course, you have your excuses.
