I know this is the running stereotype but I still keep encountering it the other way around - I'll be cruising at like 85 in the fast lane and have 5 people riding my ass, with everything from an F350 to a Prius in line so I just move over and let them pass. People give 0 fucks about the speed limit around here it's nutty. Fast lane will be doing 90, #2 lane will be doing 75-80, #3 lane will still be doing 75-80, far right slow lane MIGHT be down to about 70. Maybe. If it's a 55 zone.

It happens so often, over the extended period of time I've been driving / riding now that I actually anticipate and expect a driver entering a 3-4 lane highway from the right entrance ramp, aggressively merge at close quarters (higher chance with no signal that actually indicating) across all lanes of traffic to get to the far left, passing or fast lane (whatever terminology you prefer) then as soon as they make it to their comfortable position in traffic... I end up having to pass on the right and notice the otherwise inexperienced, discourteous, oblivious or selfish driver (whatever terminology you prefer) either texting, talking on the phone, putting on makeup, eating, reading or tending to kids in the back seats... but I'm sure only having to worry about vehicles on the right makes them feel comfortable not actually driving.

The right lane is the new left lane. I pass more cars when I drive in the right lane than when I drive in the left lane.

When I head to the farm for the weekend I have to drive on I-70 for exactly 50 miles and I bet I pass 3-5 people each trip in the right lane - even when there is not a car within 2 miles of them. When I am not rushed and feeling petty - I will pull back into the left and slowly take my cruise down 1 mph at a time and see how slow they will go before they pull into the right lane. It always shocks me how many people will slow down 10-15 MPH before they even consider passing you. LOL

Drivers in NH love to tailgate me for no reason, even when I am in the right lane and the left lane is wide open. So I started playing the "How Slow Will You Go?" game. On a highway with a speed limit of 55, and where most people do 65, the lowest speed I achieved was 40mph and I could have gone lower, but I gave up and sped away. The vast majority of drivers seem to just zone out and follow whatever the car in front of them is doing. That's why we get packs of cars all bunched up into a half-mile long rolling blockade. |

Driving on the highway now is like a real life version of the Digital Derby game I had growing up. I do have a fix for this though...just need the construction crews to put annoying rumble strips in the fast lanes (or create that annoying humm sound while driving in the left). This way...everyone will want to drive in the right lane.

I have no idea what happened to it unfortunately. However, I still do have my working Astro Wars that I would have got around '81 or '82 I fire it up every now and then for a bit of nostalgia. Even though the sound effects are a bit jarring... EDIT: Ewww.... I think it needs a bit of a clean - but it is around 40 years old! Last edited by NoMoreVauxhalls; 06-25-2021 at 02:27 PM..
