Left lane losers make US highways dangerous

[@RicardoFernandez-wh8sq]

So, if I'm standing right in the middle of a hallway or doorway, and I know you're trying to get by, but I refuse to move, I suppose you're okay with that because, after all, I'm acting within the law and there's no rules against it, right? Met one of these righteous guys like 30 years ago in (court ordered) driving school, of all places. He said, "I'm doing the speed limit, so I don't have to move over". His statement got one of those subtle yet loud and clear audible reactions from many of the people in that class. These people are absolutely part of the problem with their self-righteous disregard for everyone else on the road, throwing common courtesy out the window and happily antagonizing people who, for all you know, might be experiencing some kind of major emergency and can't get past you because of your (not very well thought out) high principles. These are the type of people who trigger road rage incidents. Personally, I think many of these people are getting some kind of thrill from being able to exert some form of control over others. My rule is, if you're in the left lane and you're not passing anyone, you don't need to be there. MOVE OVER.

No common problem in this world makes me angrier than left lane campers. There defenses are like you said: "I'm going the speed limit I don't have to move so you can speed" or "You should have left earlier" or "Why should I move for you?" It's amazing how many people do not understand that it IS the law (even in crazy places like CA) to pass and then move over. You can even read some comments on this video saying if you are going the speed limit you don't have to move over. Sadly, it's just not enforced, it's like jaywalking, nobody is going to get you over it. I used to rage and now I just look around for cops, then pass on the shoulder. I have passed on dirt and grass too. Love my AWD. If I spin out, so be it. Guess who I'm taking with me? OR they can avoid all that, and just MOVE OVER. I just don't get the big deal. I even have a saved video of a guy blocking me for no reason. We never met before and I was behind him all of 15 seconds when he decided to actively block me. I think he saw me come off the onramp quickly and decided "this guy" Seriously, if it were 20 years ago and there weren't cameras everywhere I think I'd start pit maneuvering people, that is actually how sick of it I am. Its aging me I get so stressed over it. Also, a lot of the time it isn't some old lady. Often times it's a young person. I think a lot of people believe the left lane is their personal: "Large gap in front of me so that I can text lane" rather than the passing lane. That is a big part of it. I had a guy once not move at a green light, so I honked. He then drove slow at the next green light. He was texting, of course Aggressively went around and gave him the finger. Guy followed me to the work parking lot, and told me, no joke "I can text and drive if I want, too bad for you" and was that mad I gave him the finger. (not mad enough to get out of his car when I asked him if he wanted to settle it though, LOL.) Was in his late 30s I'd guess. It's unreal to me.

Being waterboarded by the stupidity and arrogance of self-deputized fools is a fantastic receipe for road rage. Too many broke and stupid drivers that hate their life use their car as a source of power over others. During rush hour, they'll do 5 mph under the speed limit in the car pool lane, holding up miles of cars behind them. Where else in their miserable shytti life can they have that kind of control over people? Can you imagine being in a grocery store aisle and that same ayhole standing in front of you with arms outstretched so you can't get around them, and walking at a snails pace. That's effectively what tens of millions of drivers do on the road. They feel entitled to waste others time when they don't have to see them confront them and risk getting punched in the face. Most road rage shootings should be justified self-defense. Just how offensive and controlling should you be allowed to be over another person without expecting a reaction from them?

[@I_Am_Lt_Surge]

Yup, pretty much.

[@cmonster67]

I'm guessing that the left lane hogs are either 1.) completely oblivious that they are sharing a space with other people (similar to people in the grocery store who stand with their carts in the middle of the isle) or 2.) they are people who have little control over their day to day lives and find that slowing down traffic is their ONLY time to assert any control.

i love people who think they know best for others, and then actively enforce their will onto you. wtf do they care if i drive faster. my sports car can safely go faster than your minivan, Karen. speed limits are a terrible argument too, set to 1960's car standards. top gear did a bit on the braking distances of cars then and now. it said something along the lines of a car must stop from 70 mph in under 220 yards. modern cars do that in less than 100.

[@Jim7316s]

Yes, it's this officious, self-righteous attitude that is a complete contradiction. They're obviously implying that the other drivers are going too fast, aka driving dangerously, and are imposing their idea of "safety" on everyone else. And perhaps they have good intentions (but we know they don't; just being control freak assholes). But the end result of their personal enforcement produces the OPPOSITE result: more dangerous conditions! Contributing to tail gating is NOT making things safer! They've pissed off everyone behind them who tend to make dangerous right-side passes in their frustration to get around them. And they're inciting road rage the entire time.

And doing so, with a properly setup performance-oriented vehicle, will make doing so, even safer, because of the above average handling, braking, and stability. Speed limits are irrelevant. What's more important, are the road condition, the weather, the visibility, the likelihood of obstacles popping out of no-where, and of course, the traffic around & ahead. That's what keeps me safe.

It's always pretty nervewracking to see the late night "street racers" blowing out everyones ears and changing lanes suddenly, cutting people off and using aftermarket LED's without adjusting thier angle to match stock and avoid blinding folks. Like clockwork you have these people every night. Often In larger pickups too.

Before moving to California I thought they'd be bad drives, but for the most part they aren't. The only noticably consistent thing is their terrible TERRIBLE merging etiquette. They'll merge 20 mph slower than the flow of traffic and cut off others. Sometimes they're WAY too fast. Sometimes they don't obey right of way and change speeds unpredictably.

California overall has the best drivers of all the states. I learned to drive in CA and feel so fortunate as it prepared me for all the other places I’d be where people were bad drivers or assumed women don’t know how to drive. California drivers are more willing to let people merge into their lane, keep moving along, and know how to use on ramps for acceleration. The only thing I don’t like are motorcycles who ride in between lanes when traffic stops or slows. Having lived in NC his whole life my husband was impressed with how much better CA drivers were.

Otherwise I'll only move once that's the case. Funnily enough I've had situations where I go to move over and the person wanting to pass does the same, thinking that I won't move over. Makes it a little weird. Do I stay in the lane or go back to the left since they already started the right lane overtake? Those are the worst.

Not signaling your turn, especially while cutting me off suddenly, or while lane weaving at high speeds between 3+ lanes to get ahead of everyone, rather than respecting traffic flow. 3. not going a consistent speed, and playing 'musical passing' where you speed up to pass/prevent me from passing, then I get back to the same speed on cruise, then you passing me again, only to get in front of me and eventually slow down, and make me turn off my cruise/pass you again. Repeat. Bonus:, this is an addendum to point #1 that is almost a worse version. Trucks riding side by side blocking lanes for MILES!!!

People dont believe me when i tell them its on the books and i have seen cops semi enforce this. Downside or upside depends how you look at it, its not a moving violation but something lesser. What i mean by semi enforce, is that, if the person is impeding traffic and no one is being a dipS around them, aka passing them on the right lane, they wont touch it, but the moment you got a train of like 4-8 people passing this person going "slow" in the left lane , lights are blaring at that point, slow car is getting pulled over. Slow meaning slower than the speed of traffic, or what traffic wishes to go. I think it is called obstructing traffic or something along those lines. If im not mistaken its usually meant to be informative and a quick cash grab (still less than a speeding ticket, which is already pretty low). IIRC this was passed to give a reason for cops to stop people from going the speed limit in all lanes of the road, side by side. AKA something like protesting people speeding etc. by getting like 4 cars in a 4 lane road, just cruise control set at the speed limit acting like a wall.

I'm in California too and this is a problem, but I feel the BIGGER problem here is a complete lack of using signals (including changing lanes, turning left or right, turning into a gas station, it's like they don't know how to use them), I estimate 90% of drivers don't use their signals.

[@BryTee]

There's also another problem I've seen in California that does not seem to occur elsewhere, at night probably every evening I drive home there will be one or two cars on the journey who don't have their lights on. Often it's electric cars, so I'm guessing they see they have low battery so need to preserve every last watt of power by turning off their lights.

[@joedrummond946]

I always ride faster than traffic in general, but my main reason for using the left lane is it is a more comfortable lane as a driver, especially for long drives. It takes less thinking to maintain the drive vs the right lane. Just a reason someone might be in the left other than passing explicitly. My opinion though is you should maintain passing speed in the left lane at all times. Don't go slow.

[@Der.Preusse]

@@joedrummond946 Yes this is typically why people just stay in the left lane. However when possible you should still move over to the right lane. Laziness is not a valid reason for a dangerous driving habit.

That's right, a Canadian show about horrible drivers taught me to be a better driver while I was in the middle of getting my license. With that said, I am not immune nor prone to making mistakes or driver sins if you will, I have ran a red light and even missed a stop sign when I didn't mean to at all, I'm lucky I didn't get ticketed for it, but at the same time I try very hard not to repeat those mistakes, and haven't in a year now.

That would be simply insane, because it happens all the time. The driver's improvement course in Maryland even explicitly explains this law and shows several demonstration animations of traffic going various speeds including people in a right lane traveling faster than a slower car in the middle lane. I find it hard to believe Maine would be so dumb as to define "passing on the right" as "traveling down the highway faster than a slow car in the left lane."

It just boils down to one thing: laziness. People who get into the left lane and stay there until they need to exit the freeway are just lazy drivers.

[@Borderline5440]

I agree with you, but I also mainly drive in the left lane because I consistently move faster than right lane traffic and move over for faster traffic behind me, while making a conscious effort to not drive the same speed as the person next to me in the right lane.

[@dustinpomeroy8817]

If your doing 80 your always passing people ,I wouldn't call it lazy as it is not weaving in and out of traffic every 2 minutes

[@cameronmchugh4153]

For people that speed it boils down to stupidity, arrogance, impatience, and selfishness

As a visually impaired person, I really appreciate your narration. I can't drive at all but this content is fascinating and accessible. Thanks!

The worst thing is when left lane bandits speed up when you begin to pass them on the right.

[@Bonzi_Buddy]

People on cell phones do this very often too. What they do is tailgate a car that is roughly doing their speed...I've had those pricks do that when we're the only two cars on the road at 3AM in some pretty sparse stretch in a rural area. But when there isn't someone to track like that, they just sit there and when other cars speed up they do too because they're going off others. It is infuriating.

[@SFbayArea94121]

Bonzi Buddy they deserve to be shot honestly.

[@TheInfiniteNine]

I hate that too. Sometimes when there aren't cops around, I speed even faster than they do quickly in response. Probably not the kind of driving behavior that should be encouraged in that situation but it's like dude you were going slow in the left lane, and you wouldnt move over. I'm passing your ass wether you like it or not.

[@xracecar]

or vice versa. after work one day i was driving home and decided to pass a guy going 5 under the limit. i passed him and wanted to go back into the right lane, so i waited a few moments til i could see his headlights in the rearview mirror, but i notice he started speeding up as there was no difference in distance. (the headrest of the backseats block headlights, and he was just right at that spot where i could safely lane change) i honestly didn't realise it but i signalled right and cut him off, which i saw two headlights slowing down behind me.

Had this happen today, the girl thought if she gassed her 4 cylinder SUV, she'd stop my V10 engine from passing her with ease.

[@ncl420]

I wish Law Enforcement would focus on this more, hogging the left lane is far more dangerous than speeding.

[@mikaelmakinen995]

Hogging the left lane IS what makes speeding dangerous.

[@adenowayyed2855]

In my country they do, if you stay on the left lain for too long and no reason they are aloud to stop you, and sometimes they give you a ticket.

[@eyeborg3148]

Traffic enforcement in the USA is not about safety but revenue generation!

[@Nub00005]

​@@eyeborg3148 one time i saw a cop on an overpass with a radar gun getting people and radioing ahead on the expressway, up ahead there was about 6 cop cars waiting in a line to get the speeders he called out. i imagined a semitruck sideswiping him on the bridge and emptying him out like a tube of toothpaste... like that was probably half the citys resources dedicated to that speed trap that day. they must have needed a new coffee machine in the office or something idk but i hate cops after i saw that. it wasa 2 lane bridge and he had his squad car on the bridge blocking 1 lane and holding up traffic that was crossing the expressway.

As Jeremy Clarkson once said "Think of it as a lavatory. Once you go into it and do your business, you then get out it." Same logic applies here.

[@Pyrosquirrely]

It's a Top Gear joke about English. Clarkson often uses the wrong article for humorous emphasis. "Today we have AN car to drive." It isn't correct, don't be confused lol

[@nickbono8]

My biggest pet peeve on freeways is when a driver merges onto the freeway with nobody in front of them and they immediately switch to the middle/left lane. I’ve had people cut me off before that way and they’re completely clueless.
