Home and Auto Are You a Left Lane Dick ? - Page 5

A general term for anyone found cruising in the passing (left) lane, holding up the normal flow of traffic.

Lol, you're watching a movie.

Truly baffling how stupid this statement is.

For all the stupid shit r8ers says, he once said as a truck driver he just wants people to GTF away from him, and I couldn't agree more... it grinds my gears when there's a cluster of cars out in the middle of no where because a couple of dumb****s are incapable of passing a truck. OTOH, sometimes it's the person being passed who decides to speed up.

I (when I was driving longer distances ) would find myself in a situation where I was cruising along in the right lane, and would get over to pass a car going slow. As I was passing, someone would be cruising along in the left lane, going faster than myself, with a train behind him/her. Once I passed, if I was done, I was happy to get over, but if there was another car just ahead that I needed to pass, and if getting over for the train to go by was actually going to **** up my speed, I figured, "**** 'em." I know I pissed a lot of people off that way.

When I used to do auto claims I used to get a kick out of that type of accident, they would always say the other person didn't stop for them.

So lets say you are approaching an intersection with a green solid light with two lanes in each direction going straight, and a left hand turning lane that has a solid green light as well. You decide to go out into the intersection and stop, even though there is bumper to bumper traffic going fast in the opposite direction. You sit there and sit there, no opening in sight, and then the light starts to turn yellow. Still no opening. It turns red, and now you are shit out of luck. If you would have stopped and waited back before entering the intersection you wouldn't have put yourself in this predicament. Now, you are forced to make your left turn while the light is red. And bam! You are T-boned by another vehicle. You claim the other person is solely at fault, but the reality is you are both at fault, and you are at fault more than the other guy. Not only did you run a red light, you also failed to yield while making a left hand turn.

Agreed.

Perfect trolling opportunity. Well played, bwillie

I hate it when I'm cruising in the left lane at 5-10 over the limit and someone is riding my ass. I'm already passing traffic and some assbag is on my ass wanting me to get over. Typically, they get a finger and I slow down. Go around, cockbag.!

Makes sense... I made several trips between here and Detroit at one point, and people in Michigan love creating huge lines to pass trucks, so you'd end up with like 30 cars in the left lane, which would create a situation where people started trying to skip the line... obviously the extreme side of things, it's not nearly so bad around here.

I'm usually coming up to the train... and I try to be patient, but sometimes end up playing leapfrog. Some people are aware enough to realize that an approaching car at 7+mph will easily pass them once they pass and get over and they'll have a few seconds to get back in the left lane, while others are too lazy to get over or whatever and then spend 4 days approaching the next car to pass.

Once again, the left lane is for passing. If you don't want someone up your ass move the **** over. It's not difficult, the other driver is not the "assbag" here.

When I approach someone going slower than me in the left lane, you know what I do? I just pass them in the right lane, and I don't think anything of it. And my day goes on just fine. When I'm in the city driving in the left lane, I usually, you know, live over there and am expecting a left turn up ahead soon.

Usually when I'm in the left lane, I'm passing another driver, but apparently I'm not passing them as fast as the crazed lunatic behind me wants. And that is usually what you guys are bitching about anyway.

I also text while I'm driving, and I mount my phone and watch movies on long trips. Really makes it go by. Been doing it for years.

I also have no road rage issues like most of you. I don't have a personal vendetta against people who accidentally didn't see me and cut me off, or made a mistake while driving. We all make mistakes. I don't huff and puff acting all big and bad trying to ride peoples bumpers or flip them off as I go by because, that will show 'em!

You are a terrible person and part of the reason traffic sucks so much these days. I hope you never kill someone with your horribly negligent driving habits.

**Predarat** · 11-13-2015, 12:46 PM

I wish there was a way that you could confine tire tacks to only hit the offending car, the problem is if you throw them out there they spread into every ****ing lane on the interstate.

He said in the post you quoted that he was passing.
