This is two different posts of yours, and I think it says what most of us know about the fast lane blockers.
“”The best thing to do about it is get up early enough where you don’t have break the law and also rely on your fellow citizens breaking the law to get to work on time.
I’ll admit in my younger days I’d sometimes be late and speed when I could.””
“”While people driving well below the speed limit can cause problems on freeways, by far the biggest dangers are caused by the habitually late or habitually impatient.””
I don’t see any big psychological thing about it. The older I got, the more responsible I got, the less need I had to drive fast and depend on people clearing out of my way to get places at the speed I would have liked.
