We’ve all seen it. An empty right hand lane with a traffic jam in the left lane because everyone wants to be in the left lane several kms down the road.
What a waste of pavement! And, what a bunch of fools you are.
I like to get into the right hand lane and drive around you. And, for those of you that get mad and honk at me, you make me smile. — City Driver

Yes, it works best if, when a right lane is closing up ahead, if people merge alternately at the last minute.
However, since they don’t, and instead when the sign says “right lane ends ahead, Nova Scotians tend to all move over to the left lane, then you should too;
As a truck driver, I liked to cut out in front of folks like you and drive slow, matching the speed of the left lane. We used our radios to warn each other when you’re coming.
One time, an over anxious driver tried to cut inside me on the shoulder in a mini-van, and I watched her enter the ditch when her wheels hit the gravel.
The car stayed upright and no-one appeared hurt, so I continued on. After all, gotta get these micro-wave ovens and colour TV’s the Wal-mart!
p.s. OZZY RULES
Cyclists love an empty right hand lane, motorists please do not change your driving habits based on this Bitch.
Yeah, cause waiting your turn like everyone else is for suckers, right OB? It’s impatient knobs like you that make the traffic jam much worse and slower to move. Nice job, Ace. You saved yourself a whole minute. What to do with a whole minute? The options seem endless!!!
Good for you OB. You’re the best driver EVER. What do you win? Getting to work before everyone else??
I can’t figure out why these tools are in such a God damned rush to get to work in the morning. After the weekend, I am in NO rush to get to work.
I never understood that.
and how often does the left hand lane close ranks against you, queue-jumping jerk, and not let you in? let’s see if we can make that happen everytime.
The left laners exist because they are shitty drivers. Driving to the right then merging to the left scares the crap out of them.
if they really make you smile instead of frustrate the hell out of you this should be a love.
avast0, Shitheads like this are not rushing to work. They’re rushing to Tim’s. I’ve seen this on mulitple occassions.
Has anyone ever had someone pass by you (while in the left lane) at mach 9 just to take the next exit to the right while you’re doing the speed limit?
OP. So you’re one of those fucktards or an obvious troll.
OB …I’m one of those truck drivers who won’t let you in .
WHo will cut in front & drives slow deliberately to keep pace with traffic & the MAIN REASON …. to piss you off, & just like you …. I don’t care .
You can bad mouth me all you want cause I’m still … Smiling & waving back !
Oh, was that the finger LOL boy that sure did hurt !O!
“avast0, Shitheads like this are not rushing to work. They’re rushing to Tim’s. I’ve seen this on mulitple occassions.”
Too true, Campana.
In one specific area, getting onto the MacKay Bridge Dartmouth bound, there’s a sign saying “Left lane Barrington St only”, and still assholes try to merge right at the last minute to get on the bridge. It is one of pleasures in this life to intentionally block these idiots out
Barrington st is notorious for this chicanery.
Too telling that most of you have come here in defense of shitty drivers
why is it ‘shitty driving’ to drive in the appropriate lane for one’s destination? the bitch doesn’t say it’s a highway where you are to remain right unless passing…
Exactly Molly! GT, in the city, we do have multiple lanes for traffic, however, it is just common courtesy to make appropriate lane changes well before your intended exit. In other words, if you make the decision to zip by everybody in the free land and then decide to cut in at the last minute, that IMO is shitty driving, and entightlement.
So, you get the better of them; and of the situation. You think this is a bitch?
