And you have the nerve to use this as your sig line?

Complete BS. Left lane is for passing only.

It's your attitude that causes road rage.

Not much room for interpretation there. If someone is on your butt, get the fu&k out of the way. As far as the group riding is concerned and cars cutting into the pack, then it's up to you to allow traffic to merge and then try and regroup after that. No one owns the road and we have to share. A little courtesy goes a long way.

Now I will be a jerk and call you a moron. There is a good reason (actually several) why drivers need to stay out of the fast lane. When traffic is heavy then yes, using the left or fast lane is necessary. I was a cop for over 30 years and your reasoning that you'll move for emergency vehicles is bogus. Maybe you did but many people don't They're listening to their music too loud, talking on the phone or just not paying attention. Many times I would have to pass them on the right with my lights and sirens going full tilt. Road rage is another reason. We've seen people shot for not moving out of the left lanes for aggressive drivers. Also, in some states it is illegal for you to pass a vehicle in the right lane meaning people need to get out of the left lane.

Can you name 1 state that has a no passing in the right lane law? Please include the statute.
