...to sit in the fast lane on the highway and go 50mph. Who told you that was acceptable. When has that ever been socially acceptable?
Why do you think this is ok?? MOVE THE HELL OVER YOU MORON.

Out of state tags are the usual culprits...
Oh sweet jeezus! I hate that crap so much! Jeremy Clarkson (of the BBC's Top Gear) puts it best "Americans don't understand that the [left] lane is for passing! You drive slow in the fast lane and drive with your fog lights on when there is no fog! Where are you learning these driving habits?"
Every time someone is in the left lane and NOT passing I turn on my left blinker to kinda hint for them to get over, if they don't move I flash my headlights. I hate how people drive slow in the fast lane... worst place for this ever is on I-70 between Golden and Chief Hosa headed west- mainly because it's uphill and truckers are a**holes who want to try to pass while in low gear going up the mountain so everyone gets over into the left to try to pass them doing 55! ARG! [Rant1]

I have to admit I wish my car had some RPG's under the hood for these roadhogs. The law in Colorado is still pretty new and has no points so there's not much motivation to enforce it. I drive I-25 every day and I've never seen anyone pulled over for this.
I grew up back east where is was a 1 point violation and was seriously enforced on the major highways so nobody did it. It really kept traffic moving well.

Almost all the time it happens, I flash my high beams at them...never get a response...gonna have to start using the horn.

I use the left lane a lot because it's usually substantially smoother than the right. But I don't camp there, if I see someone coming behind me I always move over. And I'm usually going quite a bit faster than the speed limit. I never run in the left lane under the speed limit, people will run yer ass over.
I commute daily from Parker to Downtown Denver on I-25, and nearly always run in the left lane because I'm expressing it from Lincoln to Auraria Parkway. But I'm running 75-80 too. Staying over in the right lanes is crazy because of all the traffic merging on, exiting off, and changing back and forth. Much safer in the left lane, but I still move over if someone's coming up behind me going faster than I am.
I drive everyday almost all day, about 150 miles a day for work in my own vehicle(outside sales). I see these morons EVERYDAY. Man it chaps my ass.
Someone mentioned about back east, I'm for Illinios, and IL and IN and WI have a "no semi's in the left lane" law...period, end of story. If you are a semi, you are not allowed in the left lane. I wish they would pass a "no moronic spanish women in the left lane" law...they are not the only ones, there are morons of of every race creed and nationality in the left lane going slow.
MOVE OVER MORON!!!!!!! [Bang] [M2]
So, are you saying that YOU run in the left lane and we're all just supposed to stay out of your way?
For what it's worth here is the law-
“A person shall not drive a motor vehicle in the passing lane of a highway if the speed limit is sixty-five miles per hour or more unless such person is passing other motor vehicles that are in a nonpassing lane or turning left, or unless the volume of traffic does not permit the motor vehicle to safely merge into a nonpassing lane.”
It's been the law from 2004.

Precisely, thanks very much!! [Awesom]
Screw that law. If the right lane is rough, cracked and potholed and the left is smoother, I'm running in the left as long as there's no other traffic nearby. And like I said, I don't run slow over there.

I dont run slow in the left lane either. Even if I am going well over the speed limit and see someone coming up on me I move over at the first safe opportunity to let them pass. Thats just common courtesy.
Precisely, thanks very much!! [Awesom]

It was a race called the Matamoros-Bagdad Cycling Tour in Mexico not a music video. Driver was a drunk American from Texas.

"Im Sorry, I have the right of law due to Newtonian Laws."
He looked at me like a monkey with a math-problem, called me an asshole and peddled off.
For the unfamiliar: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton%27s_laws_of_motion
Newton's laws of motion are three physical laws (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_law) that form the basis for classical mechanics (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_mechanics). They describe the relationship between the forces (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force) acting on a body and its motion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_%28physics%29) due to those forces. They have been expressed in several different ways over nearly three centuries,[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton%27s_laws_of_motion#cite_note-1) and can be summarized as follows:
First law: Every body remains in a state of constant velocity (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velocity) unless acted upon by an external unbalanced force.[3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton%27s_laws_of_motion#cite_note-2)[4] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton%27s_laws_of_motion#cite_note-first-law-shaums-3)[5] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton%27s_laws_of_motion#cite_note-first-law-dmmy-4) This means that in the absence of a non-zero net force (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_force), the center of mass (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_of_mass) of a body (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_body) either remains at rest, or moves at a constant velocity (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velocity).
Second law: A body of mass (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass) m subject to a net force (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_force) F undergoes an acceleration (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acceleration) a that has the same direction as the force and a magnitude that is directly proportional to the force and inversely proportional to the mass, i.e., F = ma. Alternatively, the total force applied on a body is equal to the time derivative (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_derivative) of linear momentum (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Momentum) of the body.
Third law: The mutual forces of action and reaction between two bodies are equal, opposite and collinear. This means that whenever a first body exerts a force F on a second body, the second body exerts a force −F on the first body. F and −F are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. This law is sometimes referred to as the action-reaction law (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaction_%28physics%29), with F called the "action" and −F the "reaction". The action and the reaction are simultaneous.

I'm not sure that is the worst....
A couple years back I was commuting to Colorado Springs from Denver 4-5 a week ( some weeks more often) when working for two hockey teams at World Arena.
I can not count how many times I "flew up" on some on in the left lane .. doing 55 with NO ONE around them. and they would almost NEVER move over .. even on the days I was running early and I would tailgate the hell outta them to see if they would get the point. so then I'd have to pass on the right... used to piss me off to no end... SO glad I don't have to make those trips regularly anymore.
I once got a ticket on I-25 in the middle of denver on my motorcycle cuz I came up on a guy doing 45 in the left lane, I snapped into the middle lane .. then back into the left lane about a foot from his bumper.... cop hit me for illegal lane change.... yeah I suppose I shouldn't have done it so close but I was annoyed..... I'd even used my turn signal! [ROFL1]

Let their ankle biters run free in restaurants.

Common courtesy ain't so common.
I drive to Denver about once a week and that is MORE than enough. I couldn't see doing it everyday.

Most of the time when I encounter stupid on the road, a cell phone is involved. They drive worse than drunks, IMHO. At least the drunk is trying to drive well. The cell phone drivers are fully wrapped up in themselves and just happen to be driving.

Happened to me just this afternoon after meeting up with Ridge. This guy was in the left lane in a 55 going 65. No problem. In fact, he passed me. Then the speed limit changed to 65 just past 104th and he backs it down to 60mph, and was just a little behind and gong the same speed as the guy in the middle lane. WTF [Bang]

Sometimes I wish I had the resources of MI6... "Q, I'm going to need a few more rockets for the bumper mounted launcher, today is looking like a day the slow drivers in the left lane are going to come out in force!"
I kinda had the same thing today going to get lunch, but since it's not an interstate highway no one ever follows those rules (it's Evergreen Parkway/SH-74) going 40 in a 55... 40!!! [Rant1]
