    I should note, the problem I see is, if there is three lanes of traffic on one side, there really isnt a reason for a big truck(semi) to be in the far left lane, unless he's passing everyone, then he's questionably insane.

    In most cases, those few moments that truck is impeding your rush to go somewhere are not going to cause global warming, lead to Obama being re-elected, or cure cancer,lol. Its only a couple of minutes tops, and he's out of your way. Its the insane panic rush of trying to cut off the truck, and act like you are living the dream of Dale Earnhardt on his last race(not letting anyone in front of you) that causes the headaches, wrecks and fatalities. You wont win against a truck. You wont see a dime of any lawsuit. You'll be a vegetable, or go home in a body bag. Any driver(truck driver) will say, let those fourwheelers(cars) ride in a semi one day in nasty traffic, and your outlook on life will change, especially if its a hazmat load,lol.

    I always remember that I have a gun in the car and should always be calm.

    Sounds like someone missed his favorite show to me. They don't own the road, but you do?

    Also, how many people were in front of the vehicle you were flashing your lights at? I've break checked many a vehicle who was riding my ass in traffic when there are cars in front of me as far as the eye can see.

    I also get...intense in traffic, but it really pisses me off when some asshole is behind me acting like I'm the ONLY car on the road blocking his progress, when it's very clear that I'm going the speed that I am because there are 100 other cars in front of me preventing me from going faster.

    Now, I'm not assuming that was the situation, but I thought I'd bring up that point anyway.

    It's not "technically the law", it is the law. One that isn't followed, nor really enforced.
    42-4-1013. Passing lane - definitions - penalty.

    (1) 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.
    (2) For the purposes of this section:
    (a) "Nonpassing lane" means any lane that is to the right of the passing lane if there are two or more adjacent lanes of traffic moving in the same direction in one roadway.
    (b) "Passing lane" means the farthest to the left lane if there are two or more adjacent lanes of traffic moving in the same direction in one roadway; except that, if such left lane is restricted to high occupancy vehicle use or is designed for left turns only, the passing lane shall be the lane immediately to the right of such high occupancy lane or left-turn lane.
    (3) A person who violates this section commits a class A traffic infraction.
    “Every good citizen makes his country's honor his own, and cherishes it not only as precious but as sacred. He is willing to risk his life in its defense and is conscious that he gains protection while he gives it.” Andrew Jackson

    A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.'

    That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.
