Left-lane slowpokes drive you crazy?

[speed]

The words 'move over' -- even if readable in the rearview mirror -- may not mean much to them, but a ticket might. Some states are cracking down.

Bout time.

I rode 25000 miles last year and put another 75000 miles on my car and truck, so I see a lot of this.

Left lane campers are a huge pet peeve of mine. I'm glad to see some action being taken against inconsiderate drivers who plug up the roads and force some of us to pass in a less than safe manner on the right side.

Cheers,

Your numbers pale in comparison to mine Chris, and nothing makes me madder :evil: It is the law here in Texas, and there are signs all over the Interstate, but it's rarely enforced :sad: I Love it when they are also on the cell, absolutely oblivious to their stupidity, until it's pointed out to them by a BIG Black tractor-trailer on their ass, with the air horn blaring....usually wakes them up :grin:

Ram mentioned to me a couple years ago that it is an offense in Tennessee to hold up more than 5 vehicles behind you, but just like your observation in Texas it's a law that isn't enforced.

I'm usually not a big supporter of issuing citations, but in this case it sure would help the flow of traffic to buckle down on people who abuse the hammer lane.

Agreed, if people knew they might get a ticket I think they would at least pay more attention..............when I've confronted these idiots many have told me they have ever right to run in the left lane :sopranos:

Man you could cut the 401 accidents in half if they enforced that...problem is speed limit 100...and fast lane they move at 120-130.....so if your going the speed limit, how do you get a ticket?? Just wonderin how this works?

[speed]

That's a whole other kettle of fish Fub. The 401 was originally engineered for a 75mph speed limit, but the do-gooders in Onterrible had that dropped to 60mph many years ago, which is ridiculously low. The speed limit needs to be raised to 120kph (~75mph) then they need to enact a new law prohibiting people from blocking the left lane and enforce it.
