i do the latter often because of the former. however, i am normally just cruising along by myself for miles in the right lane, since it is generally wide open because every jackass thinks they need to be in the far left lane so that one is clogged to [censored] and undrivable. run-on sentences FTW.

now i'm just angry.

First off, let's make this very clear, there is no 'fast lane' there is a PASSING lane, and if you aren't passing somebody, you don't belong there.

I do drive faster then average, I'm okay with that, I never do unsafe maneuvers, such as cutting anyone off or swerving, as soon as I pass, I get in the right lane and don't touch the left lane again until somebody is in front of me slowing me down.

I hate when people pretend this is gospel.

Well, I think we found at least one resident passing lane squatter.

[Slow Play Ray]

so where specifically is it considered a "fast lane" then? because that's just poor traffic planning if it's anything but a passing lane.

Other than HOV lanes, where is this the case?

About six months ago I was driving home from work in heavy traffic. I was going North on Western and was the first car at a red light at Beverly. Traffic going East on Beverly was very backed up, and an idiot in an Avalanche had pulled into the intersection and was still blocking it when my light turned green. I pulled forward quickly and honked my horn in displeasure. When his traffic started moving, instead of proceeding straight he took a left and rode my bumper. I tapped my brakes a couple of times to try to get him to back off; instead, he just bumped my car. He pulled into oncoming traffic on my left a few times and finally managed to pull around me and cut me off. He leaped out of his car and tore off his shirt, challenging me to a fight. I opened my window a crack and laughed at him and asked him what his problem was, and he claimed I had attempted to hit his car. I told him I wasn't getting out, so he spat at me and got back into his car.

I didn't call the police because I had two scotches at the office before I went home. I wasn't drunk, but I really didn't think getting the police involved was a great plan for me.

Living in Los Angeles, this episode really made me realize that I can't pull this [censored] anymore. Now when [censored] stuff happens I just smile and hum. It's just not worth it.

WTF? WHY?! There was a thread in OOT a few months ago about "brake checks" - why in the hell do people do this?!
