I avoid all Interstates and stay peaceful on the scenic routes. I remember when 55 was fast

Nah, slow left laners are a real problem. Here’s a for instance. Semi in the right lane, a left laner is creeping past it at .05 mph more than the truck. Meanwhile, people are stacking up behind her that need to get by. I’m two behind the creeper, keeping a few car lengths distance from the guy in front of me. a-hole in a truck thinks he’s gonna squeeze in my cushion from the right, I have to box him out, pinning him behind the semi. Finally, the creeper gets over, and there’s a dozen cars rushing to get past the semi. The creeper bottlenecked traffic for 15-20 minutes, 20 miles or so, putting people in peril. Get over, better yet, don’t get on the highway at all.
This is like the argument that abortion is necessary because of incest.
It makes up the tiniest of fractions of the cases but extremely overwhelmingly the case is you have a car in the left lant doing 80-85 passing 18-wheelers and about 15 jack holes drafting each other doing 90-100 mph getting pissed off because the car doing 85 is slowing them up.
If everyone followed the law there wouldn't be a problem, right?
Use the left lane for passing only and don't speed. Simple solution, but that's not what you anger management candidates want is it.
The left lane is your personal NASCAR lane for you to drive as fast as you can possibly go.

I always wonder if those frickers who hang out in the left lane feel like they are regulating traffic speed or are just so fricking self-centered and inconsiderate as to actually not care about any other drivers.
I'd guess 20% fall into that category and the other 80% are just dumb, clueless people who don't understand the law, drive like idiots, and never check their mirrors.
My ex-MIL did this shite but she'd also be like 5 mph under the speed limit as well. Completely oblivious to all of it.

Think of how dumb the average person is, now remember half of everyone else is dumber.

You have to make it hurt to be effective. Maybe a 30 days suspension, too, would make people think twice.

I'm guessing, it's this.
Year's ago, the Florida State Police ran a bunch of PSA's about hogging the left lane and said it would be enforced. To my knowledge it was never enforced and now it is worse than ever, I mean it's really bad here now.

Passing lane. Period.
All other opinions can frick off. It's the passing lane, by law. To be used for passing. If you aren't passing, you shouldnt be in it. If you are passing, you should be in it.

What an odd and ridiculous thing to say.

That was an example from me driving on I-85 two weeks ago. One of probably half a dozen times during that trip a slow left lane driver impeded the safe flow of traffic. It’s not a tiny fraction, it’s every time I’m on the highway.

I never said any of this. What in the world are you blathering about? Anger management? That sounds like your own problem. I take the view that the left lane is for driving. Drive in it, pass people, get over when faster cars approach you. If I’m doing 65 or 85, the same rules apply.

I drive a MINI Cooper JCW. It’s the most unobtrusive traveling car there is. I’m not blasting down the road at 100mph. Also happens to be the best highway car I’ve ever owned. Zip, zip, and I’m away from all you angry drivers.

Every day, while driving home from work, I cross the Luling Bridge knowing that once I get over it there will be some dipshit driving below the speed limit in the left lane with a mile long line of cars behind it.
Half the time its an 18 wheeler going 0.0001 mph faster than the 18 wheeler its trying to pass.
The other half its some dipshit in a Nissan Altima playing on their phone.

Bull shite.
I’ve lived in orange and seminole counties my whole life and I’ve never seen anyone pulled over for going slow in the left lane. To worried about catching speeders on the express lanes.

Really how would you know what they’re being pulled over for? Do you stop and check? Idiot

I-10 where I live is between 3 and 5 lanes, not including HOV, and it happens to me, every flipping day. Multiple times in even a 5 mile drive, and it actually gets worse when I get out of the suburbs and the speed limit goes to 75.

I drive in the left lane a pretty good bit out of just habit. However, I always turn my hazard flashers on too for safety.

And you are in the left lane trying to get over and a car is passing you on the right... He finally does.. and then the car behind him decides he wants to be Mario Spaghetti and he jumps into the right lane and tries to pass you..
This is also a cause and effect of the drivers who DON'T get over when others pass in the left lane. Its hard to blame people for choosing to get tf away from them > the chance of being stuck behind them longer.
People confuse the social construct of driving vs innate abilities. It is not different than reading, public speaking, writing, math, etcc. There is a correlation to drivers and their brains just like all of those things.
For some reason driving is the ONLY aspect of life that is looked down on for someone being faster. I'm not going to read, write, or problem solve on pace with retards so its hard to adjust my brain to do the same while driving. And quite frankly people shouldn't have to.
Its really unfair. You go through schools separating slow/ fast/ average and then the real world makes no adjustments.
This isn't just a fast driver vs slow driver thing. Some of them legit shouldn't be forced to be held at the same standards. And it goes way far beyond just driving.
Of course you do have bad apples on both ends of the spectrum I'm not denying that.

Murder and kidnapping are fine. Some people just don't understand, after all.
Retarded fricking drivers back up I-10, every day, from 0800-2100 at least, because they can't merge onto the Interstate fast enough at an on ramp near me. This backs up cars for four-five miles. Every day. Every GD day. Hundreds of thousands of cars a week, but it's just, "we need to understand." F Off.

TX state law says you move to the right if it's safe. Similar laws in many states, but your type just thinks you have your hands at 10 and 2 and you're safe. Get. The. Hell. Out. Of. The. Passing. Lane.

Can this be forwarded to the Louisiana State Police?.

I will never, ever, frickin understand why people drive in the left lane. Probably 80 - 90 percent of our time drive an automobile we are in the right lane...thus why when there is a four lane road, arseholes just slide over into the left lane like that is normal.
