in the left lane is an inconsiderate asshole.

It's hard to get anywhere in a timely matter when slow, inconsiderate drivers impede progress unnecessarily. These drivers are often responsible for causing serious accidents and traffic jams. They drive slowly in the left lane because they are afraid of merging traffic, fearing for their own safety, while not even considering that others have important things to do and places to go.

The right lane is for the slow people. They should stay out of the left lane except to pass, or better yet, take public transportation, or get in the backseat and let competent motorists drive.

We all get to our destinations safer and faster this way.
