“Keep Right, Pass on the Left.” What’s so Difficult to Understand?

Miss, with all due respect, I have my own problems.

Don't come to Seattle, OP. People here will drive the speed limit while sitting in the left lane. It creates a Mario Kart situation where everyone is always passing and weaving on either side of each other. It's chaos.

It’s not like it’s hard to get a drivers license in the US. Did you ever meet anyone who couldn’t pass the test?

Since Drivers Ed is no longer offered in many public schools, I'm sure many young drivers today don't understand the concept.

R3, you’re assuming the have a drivers license. There are tons of unlicensed drivers on the road.

And then you have those drivers who STAY in the left lane (after passing everyone in the right lane) - while the right lane is clear/empty, yet they never get over in the right lane like they expect others to do.

If I'm in the left lane and going 10mph over the posted limit, and someone boils up behind me to get over so they can go faster, I DON'T get over and I WON'T, especially when there are other vehicles in the right lane going slower. So there!

Everyone forgot how to drive during Covid when nobody left the house for a year.

I don’t even want to think about that, R5.

It makes my ass work button holes backwards too op

R6 ha ha if I were on your tail you’d sure as hell move over. I do not mess around on the highway.

Have fun getting sued after you rear end someone on the freeway, r10.

Or the people that floor it on the freeway onramp, then slow down to 30 mph to merge, forcing those behind them to slam on the brakes.

Have fun in the recovery ward r11

You don't think the type of accident that would send me to the hospital would also injure you, r13? You shouldn't put other people's lives at risk because you want to get to Denny's 20 seconds faster. Fingers crossed the next person you tailgate has a mental illness and a concealed weapons permit. The world would be better off. Ha ha.

Judy get your POS car back in the right hand lane MOFO r14

I have a lead foot, but I don't feel like it is my job to enforce the speed limit either. If I am in the left lane and someone wants to go faster, I move over.

[quote] You shouldn't put other people's lives at risk because you want to get to Denny's 20 seconds faster.

Mmmmmmm... Denny's, twenty seconds faster.... *drools*

Move over, bitch!

Untrained, selfish, angry, passive-aggressive zombies of America. Whatever they're doing and wherever they are.

It's not political, it's not racial, it's not ageist or economic or sexist or regional. (Except the traffic in the ring around DC is more civil. But I don't live there.).

It's how people of all ilks are behaving as everyone ignores the great national crisis we are in. I have hags pushing me out of the way in grocery stores, people ignoring red lights, which seem to mean "speed faster," gunshots almost nightly from cars trolling the neighborhoods, and children on my lawn would be fine, but 200 dogs a day are let loose on the property, from the canine dung heaps that are left.

At least you have a house?

R19 is Freida Claxton

Is it still common knowledge that if you are behind someone in the left lane, you should flash your high beams in their rear view mirror so they know you want them to move over?

Stay off the roads grandma

And the solid line means don't cross over. Like when I'm on an onramp to a highway and the line is solid for a bit and the car BEHIND me cuts over the solid line and then beeps at me when I try to merge into his lane.

Nothing worse than a frantic driver. Just calm your tits, you sad fat whore, and stop pretending you have anywhere important to be or anyone who's desperate to see your sad ass, now or ever.

[quote]People here will drive the speed limit while sitting in the left lane.

Does the left lane have a different speed limit than the right lane? Or does the speed limit not apply to the left lane?

Hello DL

Many times I pass them on the right, move back to the left lane in front of them and then sloooowwww way down to make sure they get the point. Everyone should do that and teach them their idiocy. You gotta at least honk and flip them off as you pass on the right or they'll never change.

R28 is texting and running from the cops.

You're from Florida, aren't you, R28?

I always tell people I really learned how to drive on the Autobahn when I was in the Army. I also joke that we should send every American to Germany to drive on the Autobahn for a week, and if they [italic]live[/italic], they can have a driver's license.

And R22, that's certainly true on the Autobahn, but if you do it here in the US, the person in front of you is just as likely to tap/slam on their breaks as to get over. If you rear-end someone in the US, technically it's always your fault because you were "not in control of your vehicle," and people know that. So they'd be punishing you if you rear-ended them.

So I wouldn't try the flashing headlights trick -- you may live to regret it.

More annoying is when you are slightly above the speed limit and in the right lane,but someone is tailgating you. I always slow down to the minimum legal speed.

R32 There is no way someone has to slam on their breaks if the car in front of them where speeding. I suspect you are one of the cunts the ho catch an attitude when someone speeds over in the right lane to overtake you and then gradually increase your speed to tailgate. Well cunt, you didn’t want to go faster before so why the fuck speed up now. And if you hit my shit I’m suing you for vehicular damage and pain and suffering.

What about the cunts that drive like Ms Daisy below the speed limit and then once they see a yellow light they floor it to make it through. Dumb ass bitches.

I live in Florida, where there's a good possibility you'll get shot in any road rage incident, so you know what I do if I'm being tailgated by an asshole? If I possibly can, I either 1) pull over and let them pass me, or 2) scoot as far to the right as I can and motion for them to go around me.

Of course, these things are easier to do when you're on a motorcycle.

Even walking on streets or sidewalks or in shops people don't fucking take to their right side!

What's really annoying is people who don't know they're supposed to walk on the right.

Don’t get me started on the idiots who stand on the left side of the 17 story escalator at grand central Madison.

[quote] slam on their breaks

Oh, dear!

r22 No. Or, maybe more accurately, nobody cares what you want.

Come to Ohio, where passing on the right is a sport! Nothing makes my day more than seeing some idiot zooming up on me in the right-hand lane with an obvious far left lane. I will increase to match their speed eventually, them getting slowed by the semi in the far right going slowly....and I laugh and laugh.

I tried that once and the asshole cut over in front of me within what seemed like a foot of my car. I decided it isn't worth risking my life or my car to engage with these loons. I think they think it's a video game.

r41 They key is to not let them get more than even with your car.

I'm in East Hampton (NY) in an aging Escalade . Stopped, in the correct lane, for a left turn, I am frightened by those roaring past me on the right, and worse, on the left! So ok, they cannot see around me in their smaller cars, but what of what is in the lanes in front of me? Am always surprised there aren't more fatal accidents. Summer people be crazy, drive worse, will be leaving soon.

OP - GET OUT OF THE LEFT LANE and MOVE YOUR ASS OVER into the right lane.

You are a selfish and passive-aggressive bastard.

I hope everyone realizes that passing lanes are only on freeways, they don't apply to highways or roads.

R45 I mean a highway with lights with left turns off

I believe the original idea of the left lane for passing is so that police and other emergency vehicles can get by. Of course, that concept was for 50 years ago, when there was one-tenth of today's traffic.

I'd be happy if all drivers would just use their signals.

Freeways, escalators and NYC sidewalks

Maybe so, but isn't passing on the right still against the law?

Oak Park is so liberal, that they exit the highway on the left.

they slapped someone viciously

We need more signs “Left lane is for passing”

Some people get off on it. I worked with a guy who actually bragged about it. He loved driving on the freeways left lane, doing the published speed limit. He delighted in pissing off as many motorists as possible. This btw, in Texas, where getting shot by a pissed off driver, is a real probability.

During Covid they gave out licenses and permits to anyone. This is the result. Each and every time I go to the grocery store there is always one asshole going the wrong way down the aisles (outside Atlanta) and instead of being embarrassed they're going the wrong way, they get angry. Really angry. It's always a younger driver too

It's for safety reasons. You are supposed to pull to the side of the road when an emergency vehicle is up coming behind you with it's lights & sirens on

Yeah - DONT f**k with passing on the autobahn. 150mph Porche flying by is common.

[quote]Is it still common knowledge that if you are behind someone in the left lane, you should flash your high beams in their rear view mirror so they know you want them to move over?

You are WRONG. Flashing your lights, can temporarily blind someone. You're never supposed to blind someone from behind like that. NEVER.

It's "Frieda."

You're that dumb one, right? Or the big bull woman. Or are you the Alzheimer's loon with the unconvincing accent?

Wait. I've got it.

You're the pathetic nympho who smells like a dab of bleach down there, aren't you?

I always thought it was "Pass the Dutchie on the Left Hand Side".

Link?

Slow traffic, keep right. Right is for dullards and people merging or making R turns.

I go to work at 8pm and get to see all the 9-to-5ers on the freeway who stopped for drinkiepoos after work. Driving 57 in a 65 mph zone; weaving over the white lines; changing lanes without signalling or checking their mirrors...
