DO you all have ANY idea how difficult it is to regain the left lane within a short distance and busy traffic in order to make your necessary left turn if you move to the right for the convenience of the speeding asshats ?
I REALLY wish all you that think you are entitled to push your way to the front of the line in all situations would get smacked down hard!!! Another 30 seconds getting to your destination will be fine.If not,then START EARLIER! Motor Trend or Car and Driver did an experiment in the 80s in which one driver drove the maximum possible and another drove with the traffic on the Autobahn;the speedster arrived a few minutes earlier but tense and sweaty.
One more thing :trucks are supposed to go slower on most roads which makes them into rolling roadblocks in the right lane.And a car sandwiched amongst big trucks cannot see the turnoffs or other traffic until almost too late.This makes getting back out of the right lane for the upcoming left turn even more difficult. Now that is a real issue that should be looked at.
Well, I would say you need to calm down, because you’re making a lot of assumptions here that are way off base.
I drive about five miles over the speed limit. We have no interstate highways in this area, so that means I routinely do about 60 in our 55 mph zones, and I usually stay in the right lane where I belong.
But if I have to pass, I want to lay on the accelerator and DO it. I don’t want to be trapped in a long line of traffic, or stuck next to a rolling semi because you think you have to right to hog the left lane and teach patience to everyone else.
It is a fact that there are jerks who drive too slow and jerks who drive like maniacs. Even though it’s sometimes hard to get into the left lane to make a left turn, it’s just a fact that the left lane IS for passers and faster drivers. So if you have to get over there, have that turn signal on to let others know you’re turning....but you MUST speed up. If you get over there and drive slowly, you’re breaking the law.
