futuredivot 0 #1 November 8, 2011 Yesterday I-40 West from Asheville, NC to Nashville, TN that was the gal to guy count of drivers blocking traffic in the left hand lane. I didn't count near larger towns where people were jockeying for position Come on chickas, pas or get over.You are only as strong as the prey you devour Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TriGirl 268 #3 November 8, 2011 You think that's bad? You should check out the traffic where I'm living now. You know that joke about the lines on the road just being a suggestion? Here, they're just decoration! And everyone does stupid stuff -- gender doesn't matter. Actually, it's usually the guys crowding into that "parking" lane, when they know they'll have to get back over into the one moving lane before they even have a chance to pass anyone. On the other hand, I do feel your pain. Been trying to teach my sister for years that if she isn't going faster than the cars in the lane to her right, she should get over. Hasn't sunk in yet.

oldwomanc6 38 #5 November 9, 2011 As a woman, I take exception to that stereotype. I never hang out in the left lane. I almost always drive faster that the rest of the traffic. However, if there is a stretch where I can move to the right, I will. In other words I only drive in the left lane in order to overtake other cars. I find that the dawdlers in the left lane are almost alway busy with some other thing. Usually the phone, or a car full of distractions (kids, friends, balloons etc...)

gonzalesna 0 #12 November 15, 2011 I'll actually sit in the left lane behind them and just ride the horn until they move over... something about inturrupting their phone conversation or something like that seems to work every time. Some people refrain from beating a dead horse. Personally, I find a myriad of entertainment value when beating it until it becomes a horse-smoothie.

I did that one time. The guy wasn't on the phone, he just didn't want to move over. I just rode the horn for maybe 15 seconds before he gave up and moved over. Swerved back behind me as soon as I passed him, so I stomped the gas and flipped him off and I was gone."Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
