They don't understand that it's the law that slow-moving traffic must move to the right, even if the faster traffic is speeding. There's kind of an air of self-righteousness about them, like "I'm doing the speed limit, and so should you."

How do you drive Manual/Stick Shift in Traffic in Los Angeles?

People are very self centered these days and have no regard for the people around them. i would ask your city council or county supervisor to post more signs that read "slower traffic move to the right", and actually have the highway patrol ticket slow drivers. Driving too slow is as dangerous as driving too fast. also when you get behind a slow driver, just go around them, typically if you flash your lights it will only make them nervous and they will probably freak out and cause an accident, its easier just to go around them.

How do i find a map of gas stations on interstate 40?

people do it to save gas... driving 65 miles per hour saves more gas than driving 80. they are in the fast lane to pass someone going even slower or they are just not paying attention and forget to get over. i guess the same people can ask you why you are driving so fast... 80 mph is breaking the speed limit here in California. hehehe... ok well i hope i helped you... drive safe :D

How do I calculate mileage rate (reimbursement) for driving my car for work?


B. 55mph is the optimum speed for fuel economy. The faster you go over 55, the lower miles per gallon you get from your fuel. I read where for every 5mph over 55mph that you lose around 10% mpg...So in a car that gets 30mpg at 55mph, if you were to go 80mph you would only be getting 18-21mpg. So they are trying to save money.

A simple thought for you here
One day while driving on a major highway here in Texas
I had a lodge brother of mine in the car with me who just
happens to be a Lt with the Texas DPS
I was encountering an abnormal number of such drivers that day on the roadway and I WAS DOING THE SPEED LIMIT (believe you me) and---- I made a comment about the very thing you're saying here----What the hell is the matter with these people ---they're in the way and holding up traffic and _____ on and on ---- after a good ten minutes of my tyraid -- I turned to Mark and asked him--- what in the world do YOU think this is--- he just smiled back at me very knowingly (he is a fairly quiet dude) and said---- Larry -- are THESE, actually people you would want to see driving any faster than they are ?? After just a moment of thought on this---- I haven't complained about them since !!

When was the last time you ran out of gas?

Before we look at the question, answer this. How fast do the "slow pokes" go past your WEAVING THROUGH TRAFFIC LANES? Anyway, speeders are never stopped going over the speed limit because that is more dangerous than trying to make drivers obey the law. If the traffic flow is faster than the speed limit, its okay. Of course there are the law abide-rs and they are going the posted speed limit which is the fast lane speed limit. As for the slow on-ramp drive ups, well my squirrels can only speed up so fast, Man!

Who has the worst commute?

hey, people sometimes think that if they are going 5km/h over the speed limit, its okay to drive in the fast lane. or sometimes people have an issue about checking their rearview mirrors. i know its frustrating, just be patient, or pass from the right lane. and for all those who say that everyone should be speed limit, its a bunch of bull. cops allow about 20-30km/hr about the speed limit on the highway, as long as you are not weaving through traffic, because thats just dumb.
ps its called a highway not a free way.
