I'm a left lane driver. Because I drive fast. The second I pull into the middle or right lane, some asshole is on my left shoulder, riding in my blind spot, forcing me to brake or drop back only to move back into the left lane.

The most amazing assholes are those who keep trying to pass on the right, and then get blocked by the very same douchebag I'm avoiding by driving in the left lane! These guys the wind up twenty car lengths behind, while if they just kept pace with the flow of traffic they'd be right there in the left lane...right behind me!
