Slow pokes in the left lane, a long time peeve of mine !

Last week, I did a trip from Colorado to Indiana. Missouri is the worst with a lot of left lane drivers not passing. I got into Illinois after St. Louis and there was this one "broad" who was poking along in the left lane talking on her phone. I decided to go around on the right because she was oblivious and she sped up. I ended up staying behind her and then she decided to move over finally. As I passed her, she was displaying her middle digit. I guess her phone conversation was more important than driving.

It would be nice the US-DOT/NHTSA do a campaign on lane courtesy but it would be a cold day in hell before they would promote this common sense idea.

Since we can’t give them a little bump from behind to give them the message (dangerous to all), why not legalize a little paint-ball or similar device to give them a little “thump” when they won’t move over?

That’s after the flashing the lights, and the horn, of course....

Idiots like the woman you describe are the reason I have a really fast car. I like to think I’m being a good citizen by preventing them from having the opportunity to do something that would require that I shoot them repeatedly with a large caliber weapon.
