    Default What makes you think its ok...

    ...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.

    Ok, rant over. Thats all.

    I REALLY wish more officers would enforce the law on this.

    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!

    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!

    It is the entitlement mentality of people these days. This really gets on my nerves too.

    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.
