ConservativeParty, your Post Echoes my Own Thoughts!!
We Use a 2-Lane Highway All the Way to a Big Town,
And there are 3 Areas where it Briefly becomes a Passing Lane.
90% of the Time on the Trip, we are Trapped behind a 'Slowee' who is Going about Turtle-Speed,
Until we come to the Passing Areas!
There, he Suddenly Grows Lead Feet that are Heavy on the Gas Pedal,
And we have to Speed Up 20-30 Miles an Hour to Pass him! :(
Their Actions are Unexplainable, Dangerous, and Bizarre, and Always Gripe me No End.
Thank Goodness I don't have to Drive there Everyday.

Hi! That happens to me at this one particular stretch of highway all the time. No passing for miles, and slow guy in front goes slow....then we get to the 2 lane area and he speeds way up! Happens all the time. Funny thing is, I don’t think any of these drivers are trying to be wise guys, or rude, they just don’t realize that they change speeds dramatically when the 2 lanes become available.

On our Interstates (between Milwaukee and Madison) the dangerous “slow in the fast lane” driver who causes a back up of traffic, is my other peeve. This driver is just plain dangerous. Camps out in the fast lane doing less than the speed limit. Others pass that car in the right lane since slow guy won’t leave the fast lane.

We have crazy drivers in California also. Driving country roads you see everything. It is scary having someone pass over a double line at a blind intersecion to pass you.

A few years ago, someone passed me just before an intersection and went right through a stop sign. He had several kids in his car, so I layed on my horn. He stopped so, I pulled alongside, rolled my window down and asked him if he didn’t see the stop sign. He just glared at me. Guess I’m lucky that was all he did.
