Assume the statutory speed limit of 70 MPH; the tendency of the local constabulary to ignore violations up to 5 MPH over; A stream of traffic in the right-hand lane averaging 68-72 MPH; and a certain sense of scofflawry and haste on my part that may rise to the level of a ticket without tipping over into the reckless category; and the fact that I am therefore in the continuous process of "passing on the left" all of those law-abiding drivers in the right lane.
A question: exactly how fast must I be going before I must make way for a non-emergency vehicle intent upon hitching ride in my trunk?
Someone once told me that 20-over is an acceptable maximum. Thats 90 MPH. I had to ask, "are you serious?"
Geesh... Never mind. You’re so sure I’m the only thing between you and the great wide open.... and that’s just not the argument I’ve made.
I see it all the time, one wanker playing King of the World in the passing lane and pretending not to notice all the aggravation, anger, and lane changing that he is causing. On this thread you can see a couple of the personalities that admit to that type behavior and how unwilling they are to stop it, in fact they play the same role on this thread through stubborn intransigence.
Who exactly is the "wanker" on an ego trip who is plowing through demanding everyone else change lanes? ;)
You prove our point, just move to the right and let people pass.
And you prove mine... The amount of traffic doesn’t matter: “You should still, all million of you, get out of my way”.

Nice........I’d buy one but my mother would turn over in her grave if I ever wore something with ass on it.....tis why I am not a democrat! LOL
Would "a**" be any better? Or should I just pick a different word?
Somehow I don't think "PUMB" has the same effectiveness or pronounce-ability.
I can’t think of another “A” word.........just use 2010 on the front.
As fast as you need to go to find a spot in the right hand lane. Get out of the way without causing mayhem.
Let them risk their own lives, drive defensively. (You asked.)
Actually, I think you just described yourself. Good job.
If you drive a big rig 10 feet off someone's bumper at high speeds, you are a danger to the public. You need to find another profession.
Childish post and it also reveals that you haven’t been reading my posts, what is anal retentive is the people that place themselves in the fast lane to control the lane rather than moving to the right and letting traffic move freely.
That hasn't been the discussion for the last 150 posts. Nice try. Good bye.
Amazing, you haven’t even read the thread, you need to read it and get things clear about what has been posted.
The poster specified NON-EMERGENCY vehicle. Calm yourself and read the post again.
Yes, people driving on the autoban, in the left lane, at speeds up to 200 MPH are quite common and you MUST move over to the right lane, no matter how fast you are moving, in order to let faster traffic pass you on the left. Great system and it works.
It has been the discussion, actually.
Selfish people who want to go faster than the right lane, but not fast enough for the left lane camp out in the left lane ruin traffic flow.
They belong in the right lane, or middle.
Left is for passing. Either speed up or get over.
calm YOURSELF and finish the thread before commenting.....since yesterday when the thread was started we have all moved on.
;^)
I don’t need to calm myself, but someone sure needed to and I have read the whole thread. I didn’t see it posted yesterday or I would have commented then.
