In the words of Ludacris

Have you ever heard of the term fast lane?  Passing lane?  How about slower traffic keep right?  All those phrases have meaning.  There's even
signs that say slower traffic keep right. 

Now you may wonder why it's important or say "well I'm doing the speed limit so that's all that matters."  Well whether you are doing the speed limit or not if the traffic in the right lane is going the same speed as you or faster you are in the wrong lane.  It's about order.  We all drive on the right side of the road don't we?  So why is using the proper lane any different?

If you refuse to get over whether doing the speed limit or not you are nothing more than the artery blocking cholesterol of our highway system.  You are the weakest link.  You are RUDE!!! What makes you so special that you feel it is ok to be in my way?  What makes you in any way more important than I?  Now, you may ask me the same question.  And I am no more special than you.  But I didn't make up all these phrases now did I?  These phrases come from the "rules of the road."  And actually they used to be in the Florida drivers' handbook. 

If you've ever seen a car bouncing back and forth between lanes to pass traffic (which is considered rapid lane changes and is illegal by the way) they wouldn't have to do that if people weren't blocking up the left lane.  We all talk about how terrible road rage is.  Well, maybe we should address the source.

  2. I completely agree!!! I had to drive out to Kississimmi and back this morning and it was faster to be in the slow lane because there were slow people clogging up the fast 2 lanes! I swear I got around 50 people!!

  3. On about rude drivers, in Florida the subject we all share and occasionally are. The number of assjacks on the road seem to outnumber residents in this state two-to-one. Just remember to turn Your blinker off or maybe even use one, on occasion.
