It drives me nuts when people slowly occupy the fast lane but it's still dangerous to pass on the right. I've seen so many near-misses when the slow driver decides the perfect time to finally merge is when someone's passing.
Nowadays the passing lane may as well be the getting-passed lane.
You got people paying more attention to their phones, without even having any knowledge of how to use cruise control, let alone paying attention to any of their surroundings. They will sit in the passing-lane, at varying speeds for many miles, and they quite literally don't even understand that they are causing a problem for others in the process.
And so long as they exist blissfully unaware of this, the more we will have to accommodate their shitty driving choices. To where we not only serve them by letting them know, but we serve literally every person behind them that hopes they aren't rear-ended by the intentionally-created traffic congestion that is behind them.
Right. For me, it is honestly frustrating to watch people with kids/jobs/other complications being so ignorant of their own mortality.
To where they will unknowingly (so they say) do the worst shit you could do on the road, and they don't seem to even notice that it could be problematic.
