A few days ago, I traveled to Jacksonville with a friend. I happened to be in the left lane of U.S.17, a four-lane road. I always set my cruise control to the posted speed limit. I know slower traffic is supposed to stay in the right lane. My friend asked why I was driving so slow in the left lane. I told him I was going the speed limit. He said, you are also going too slow.I asked him, don’t I have the right to obey the law by driving the speed limit. He said yes, but the other drivers have the right to break the law. I don’t understand that logic.
Regardless of which lane I am in, if I am driving the posted speed limit, no one should be riding my bumper or flashing their lights at me to move over. Speeders will even hold up the middle finger or yell out their window at someone trying to drive the posted speed limit. Why do drivers become so brave when they get behind the wheel of a 3,000-pound vehicle? Most of them would not be so aggressive face-to-face.
I would like to see a program started to empower regular citizens to send evidence of aggressive driving and speeding into the traffic-court system. Resulting action would cause the speeders to have to pay $200 tickets. We could work with the unemployment offices to provide commission type jobs for unemployed people — $100 to the state or county and $100 commission to the person submitting the proof of the infraction. Provide on board cameras or someway to capture the tag number and vehicle type of the law breaker at the same time verifying the enforcer vehicle speed. Make the ticket non-challengeable. This would require a lot of planning and coordination, but just think of the benefit to the unemployment situation across the country and the benefit to the tax base.
Puttering in the left lane if you’re not passing is not legal in many states, you authoritarian fucknugget! Most authorities don’t enforce that particular rule, but you’re breaking the law and annoying people in the process.
It’s called a PASSING LANE for a reason. If you’re not passing, get the bloody fuck out of the way and let those of us who are willing to reap the consequences of our speeding do so without your self-righteous ass slowing us down, cockbag!

Hence the problem with liberalism: sanctimonious selfishness. Here’s an answer to the problem, you Traffic Pharisee…follow Jesus’ teaching of treating others the way you want to be treated. Just in case you can’t figure this one out, I’ll help in this case: drive in the right lane.-Jim+

what part of “keep to the right unless passing” didn’t you understand? maybe a loaded double semi will sideswipe you as he is forced to pass on your right and eliminate your silly-ass genes from the pool so your offspring will not be handicapped with them.

Unfortunately, karma seems to be a little slow on the uptake with morons such as Fred. I fear we’ll be all dust before he gets his.
