Comments on: The “Slow Drivers In The Right Lane” Rule http://mybiggestcomplaint.com/the-slow-drivers-in-the-right-lane-rule/138/ Where the world comes to complain.

A damn shame, because this whole place could flow a lot more smoothly if the driver's exam actually tested people for traffic flow understanding. By the way, PA DOT state laws state explicitly that it is legal for a driver to exceed the posted speed limit reasonably and temporarily in order to pass another vehicle. Most states' laws are similar or identical. Welcome to reality. @SLOW DRIVER - Thank you for reinforcing my belief that many of the people who do 55 in the left lane simply don’t have the cognitive capability to even finish the first sentence of a study about traffic flow.

My drive to work is 50 miles each way. That's 500 miles a week, almost all of it driven on a highway. Unless there is a lot of traffic due to rush hour, I routinely drive minimum 70 miles per hour like many of my fellow drivers.....and if I have to drive in left lane I do. And yes, if someone wants to go faster than me, I move to the right, like any decent citizen would do. Not once in over 3 years of going to this job have I ever gotten stopped for speeding let alone a ticket. In fact, many times I'm driving right behind a state police car who is also driving 70 miles or more per hour. LOL @Slow Driver…one more thing. My drive to work is 50 miles each way.

See the sign in black and white letters?????? And by the way, most police officers would consider YOU a hazard to the highways with your dimwitted.....i mean slow...mentality. By the way, what country are you from? I can tell by the way your letter is composed that you are not from this country. I say this because you are one of those morons who can't read between the lines and believe that every single rule is meant to be followed to the letter. It sounds like you just got your license. And if you are from another country did you enter legally??? Just asking... All I can say is, stay the hell out of my way or suffer the consequences. @Slow Driver…LOLOLOLOL..YOU will get a ticket if you drive 55 in the far left lane..the law says SLOW traffic keep to the right. that means YOU idiot.

And no, not even in so called "FAST LANE" or when passing you can drive over speed limit, there is even a question on VA DMV exam "When passing, it is legal to go over speed limit - True or False". Well guess what, it is false, for you stupids the white sign with black letters on it is THE LAW.

I realize some speeders are rude, and they push behind you even though you are already going faster than the lane next to you. They shouldn't do that. But you should NEVER drive in the left lane at a speed that is less so or same as the next to you. There's NO REASON for that. If everyone understood this, traffic would flow. Everyone has a place on the road. And your place, sir, is NOT the left lane.

I'm sure he had no idea why that would happen to him, and would never bother to think how he could prevent it from happening again. To him, I'm just a rude, ignorant driver, and I'm okay with that. You have no idea the satisfaction I got as the lanes separated and he went off to the left, but wanted to be where I was. Man, that was great. @ Lynn
