What can be done about Left Lane campers

[stevo]

The Best way to change how people drive, starts with the FUCKING PARENTS....
Teach your kids to be more considerate and emphasize that driving is a privalage for everyone... No ONE PERSON owns anything on the hwy....
Ensure they pass the word along to their children....

I remember 20 years ago when people used the left lane to pass only and then moved back over... now its a rae site... on the flip side Texas is still pretty decent compared to AZ, NV, Cali.... pretty much all west coast states sucks ass....

Dude, I have to ask, aren't you in like BumFuckedEgypt or some shit? Like in South America or something? When was the last time you were in Texas? I might (and am probably) way off base here... but ...

I'm pretty sure that was sarcasm.....

It was.

Nearly all of the consumer items that we buy are delivered to their point of sale by truck, so accept them being on the road with the rest of us as a necessary part of our economy.

Everyday I have to switch lanes more than I would like because some inconsiderate person is in the left lane going the speed limit or less. This is everyday, nighttime as well as daytime. I know it's probably hard to enforce but it's annoying.

I ain't reading 3 pages, read the first and did not see the best advice you'll get. The best thing you can do to combat left lane campers is take a deeeeeep breath. (not before pulling the trigger or anything like that either. )

Anyway, the only thing you can do is relax. It's the way things are and regardless of how right/wrong another person is - the only think that will 'teach' the bastards would involve physical stuff - at that point you go to jail.

Take a deep breath, maybe give an attempt to get them over and then just think about anything other then how much that person is pissing you off.

I drive the roads around DFW every day and everywhere else too

Most roads in high traffic areas are 65 or close ..

So, if someone is going 70-72 and passing cars , why would they need to merge out of the way for you , who thinks its ok to go 80-85 ?

And, I daily watch it and most of the time, when traffic stops after your 6 lane changes, you are sitting right next to me .

Or you pull off at same exit and are at the same traffic light ,

Just go a decent speed and be careful to not be in an accident or create one.

You will arrive so close to the same time its pointless to drive like that .

I typically will just cut them off after I pass them. The beauty ones are when they speed up when you do pass them. I really cut them off then, problem is I know it's pointless what I'm doing, they think I'm the idiot.

Did you read what I originally wrote?

When people are driving the speed limit or under in the left lane and holding up traffic.

Bullshit , I am over the SPEED LIMIT , YOU THINK I AM HOLDING YOU UP

Did you read what I posted ?

If I'm passing cars and am going 5 over the limit I'm not pulling over to get tangled up in the cars 10 under

You do not own the roads, period

So if I'm going 1 over, and very, very, very slowly passing cars...I'm good in the fast lane?

You get over for cars behind you, period. Then merge back in the fast lane and carry on.

I just grab a lane in traffic and stay in it and just try to stay a little slower than traffic and keep as steady of moving average speed as I can, and let people move around me. I try not to change lanes as there are huge blind spots and fools that swing out from behind my bumper that where so close I didn't know they where even there. Lane change = more chance of a bad day for all.

Good bait work lol. I dont see how a lot of the good truck drivers keep their cool on long hauls.

if you could read, I said .. 70-72 in a 65 , do you need me to do the math ?

And yes, if you are passing people , over the speed limit ..

Why do you think you should decide how far I choose to risk a speeding ticket

Typically there is more than one lane, pull your fast and furious bullshit and get around me Mario

I drive my car / truck my way .. You act like and ass and create all the accidents you feel you need to

Trust me, you might arrive at the same spot less then 5 minutes ahead of me

Is that really worth the stupidity and risk

Okay, next time without all the convolution:

In your point of view, it's acceptable to sit in the fast lane going 1 mph over as long as you are passing people, no matter how slowly?

Well, if the speed limit is 65 and some one is going 68 to 70 since you want to nit pick the speed limit issue

I have no issue , in heavy traffic, its most likely all you can go for the short term regardless .

In open areas again I drive often 300 -600 miles in a daily drive without much stopping and have been passed by the same people, same car sometimes 6 times or more .

There is simply no need to be that aggressive, it gets you no where, fast

I am quite capable to manage my vehicle in my lane, you do the same
