The left lane is for passing (Miami: design, cars, office)

[nowitsshowtime]

I agree with the OP. Please, GTFO of the left lane. Use it for passing, and after you make your pass, get over. Or be aware of who is speeding up behind you.

I don't give a **** if you are "speeding" by going 7mph over the limit, MOVE, im going faster. In the mean time you will get the horn, high beams, the bird, and if you make me do a drastic move to get around you, you will get cut off.

i hate these nazi keep out of the fast lane people because their aggression makes it dangerous for everyone. most of my commute is 2 lanes heading north. i get over to let people pass but then i go back into the lane because there are people going like 50mph or worse in the slow lane. so back and forth and back and forth. its gotten easier in the fact you dont have to be in the passing lane just to get through the sunpass toll anymore.

but what i really cant stand is these aggressive drivers will put everyone elses lives at risk agonizing over the frustration of slow drivers in the passing lane. they will nearly hit everyone else cutting back and forth through all the cars in the 2 lanes just to get in front of everyone to reach an open span. that is unforgivable to me. that much much more dangerous than just waiting for a gap. f--- aggressive drivers - you are the problem.

take another example, the area by coral way and bird road. the lines are solid, you are not supposed to change lanes because its very narrow and very dangerous there. and then you have some aggressive driver behind you flashing his lights to try to get you to move out of the left lane out of only 2 lanes while going through that dangerous area. so you try to tell me who causes the accidents here?

with all this construction most of my commute is 2 lanes now. the aggressive drivers put everyones lives at risk.

So what does all of this left lane stuff look like when you have 5 lanes on both sides each like there is on I-95 ?

not sure. i dont usually go on I-95. its pretty far out of the way for me. if i have to go somewhere i usually take the turnpike. if i do cross over to it it is via 595.

Just because someone drives a BMW does not make him a Nazi......unless of course you are clairvoyant and forgot to mention that fact......the fact that someone in a sports car drives recklessly however...does qualify them for that A-hole Status...as well as the slow pokes in the left lane...who just don't give a Duck......the roads are never going to get any better...at least not in the near future...so perhaps when you see that madman...be it a Nazi in a BMW or someother Nazi type vehicle... in your rear view mirror...you should consider speeding up and moving over......at least this way you will put to rest some of your personal anger.......

Well it will not be tooooooo long before this thread is locked....

I get nervous driving in a pack of cars, I have an incessant urge to find a gap in the traffic and drive there. If that means cutting in and out of traffic to get there because people are blocking the left lane so be it.

youre a danger to everyone. youre essentially doing the opposite of what they beat into everyones heads in drivers training virtually everywhere else in the country.

It was meant as an announcement and reminder to people and not as a repeat discussion on the bad driving Floridians are notorious for.

Last time I checked (including yesterday in fact) my name was gringo to most Miamians. I don't get offended. A lot of drivers I see doing this fit the description of a "Chonga" even though I'm not sure I could even describe one to a police officer. Maybe I should have said w*tback or reffee but that would have been off topic...

Check. Bought supplies.
Check. Studied Spanish for 8 years abroad and college level. Maybe I should learn another, you could be on to something...

Despite it all I don't think most Miamians will get the point of this thread. And it is not to antagonize anyone.

LOL thanks for agreeing but I might give you the bird if you did that to me
