Left Lane Squatters - Read the DAMN Sign...

[WillowTree]

26. I'm with ya on that one. I, on the other hand, have the opposite problem.

I'm a 55 driver. I get on the tollway, set the cruise control at 55 (the legal limit in town) and take up residence in the right lane. The only times I venture to the left is if I see a long string of cars coming on the on ramp, at which time I'll move over one lane to the left if there's room do to so, just to give the mergers space to enter the roadway, and then I go back to the right. Or the very rare occasion when there's someone even slower than me in front of me. Other than that, I cling to the right lane like the winning Powerball numbers are to be found there.

And I can't tell you how often I get some idiot crawling up my tailpipe so far s/he can change the track on my CD player, sometimes even flashing their lights at me. And as often as not, there are two and often three lanes to the left where I can easily be passed. I never, ever speed up to mollify these nimrods, and occasionally will just kill the cruise and let my speed ease down until the offender either backs off (rare) or wises up and passes me on the left.

Nothing like being harassed for adhering to the limit.......in the far right lane.
