I don't have a problem with slow traffic keeping to the right, but should the left lane be for speeders only? I just get annoyed when I'm going the speed limit, or even slightly over, and have an irritated cowboy in my rear-view-mirror that thinks I'm in the wrong lane.

The left lane is not just for “speeders”, it’s for people driving faster than some people drive in the passing lane. There is such a thing as impeding the flow of traffic. More people should be ticketed for it. It causes accidents, congestion and global warming.
Another bad thing is slow passers, people who take forever to pass another car. In other words passing someone going 65 at about 66 or 67 MPH instead of getting it over quickly, courteously and safely.

Study up on your traffic laws.
The left lane, in most cases, is often described as a passing lane.
Sticking yourself in the left lane and refusing to budge is an invitation to danger.
Always use your turn signals.
Always look twice, three times before changing lanes.
Never tailgate.
Drive defensively.
Lead, follow or get out of the way.
To: Sopater
I also think they should make one that says: “Lead, follow or get out of the way”

You’re only supposed to be in the left lane if you’re going significantly faster than the people in the right lane. The speed limit is irrelevant.

In Georgia you are the one in violation of the law.
Getting the popcorn, this will be a long, lustily argued thread.

Yes. If you are in the left lane and not doing AT LEAST 5 miles an hour over the limit, just get over because you are only pissing people off for no good reason.

Keep the washer fluid topped off. Once you finally get in front of the a$$hole, empty it. Works best on convertibles.

I just get annoyed when I'm going the speed limit, or even slightly over, and have an irritated cowboy in my rear-view-mirror that thinks I'm in the wrong lane. I'm amazed at the intense powers of perception you have to discern the irritation and thoughts of someone located behind you and surrounded by sheet-metal (or fiberglass if the cowboy is in a Corvette).
One might think you'd use all that vision to see the 3 open lanes to your right. (:^D)

I rarely see anyone in the number 1 lane (the so called passing lane by some) that is not speeding. Their are those who feel 10-20 mph over the speed limit is not enough. Many of these mainly men I am sure must lack confidence in their masculinity and must make up for their lacking with a powerful car. Some women to fit into this category but that would be a different thread.

To: Sopater
I have no problem whatsoever changing lanes if I am in the left lane and not going fast enough for someone. If I’m not in a hurry, I’ll drive the speed limit or go with the flow of traffic in the right lane.
However, I’ve noticed it’s getting out of control with people tailing me in the RIGHT lane. It’s so bad that my ninteen year old stopped taking the freeway on the way to work because people tailed her constantly.
To: Sopater
I hate that too...here you are going over the speed limit and they want you to go even faster.....I 'm not doing it.....
but I hate the most is when you have 2 drivers side by side, each going the exact same speed, and nobody can get by anybody......
dolts......I don't think they do in on purpose its just that people are so oblivious to the rules of the road.....that, or they're almost always on their cell phone.....
