I assume they WANT to have a head-on crash and take someone else with them so I just pass them on the right and get out of there. Unfortunately there often is someone on the right driving properly and between the left and the right they form a moving road block. That leads to the big lineup of cars and when someone goofs up then there is a multi-car crash (since almost everyone is tailgating.) <br /><br />..TomV-Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15537169584144322847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8098330902228203979.post-2219475397004509892010-12-14T18:00:03.627-08:002010-12-14T18:00:03.627-08:00*V-Tom - it's true, if someone passes me, then...*V-Tom - it's true, if someone passes me, then I have lost the race. JK. Although, sometimes I do stay in the left lane if there are only two lanes if I know I will be passing everyone on the right regularly. It seems safer to me to stay in the left lane (as long as there isn't anyone coming up behind me) instead of constantly passing and changing lanes. But I know we are supposed to.<br /><br />*Elliot - welcome to the blog! I'd say the Florida tags would give you a free pass if, perhaps, you were to do something foolish.

The Canadian Mentality is to block all the lanes on the highway instead of staying in the right lane (most of the time I'm the only one in the right lane of three. (Why can't people drive in the right lane???) Canadians get bent out of shape if anyone is getting ahead of them (this is not just for driving but for lineups, financially, etc.) As a result the highway is very dangerous with everyone being clumped together instead of spread out. It doesn't help that the only thing the police talk about is speed, while the real issue is people driving too close to each other, braking too late, etc.<br /><br />I'll get off my soap box (for a minute!)V-Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15537169584144322847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8098330902228203979.post-39586538412802195992010-12-14T11:02:35.333-08:002010-12-14T11:02:35.333-08:00*Simple Dude - they are ALWAYS out there.
