Hello Drivers. You know that left lane on the highway? The one beside the right lane? That’s called the “passing lane.” Not the “sitting-there-driving-the-same-fucking-speed-as-the-person-beside-you-in-the-right-lane lane.” The passing lane. Here is a scenario for you: you are in the right lane and decide the vehicle in front of you is moving too slowly. You would like to go faster. You put on your left signal (no, that stick beside the steering wheel is not just for decoration), check to ensure you are not going to run into someone who is already in the left lane, then move into the left lane, speed up until you have passed the slower vehicle in the right lane, signal right (oh yes, you get to signal again! See how easy it is when you practice?) and then move back into the right lane, now in front of the slower vehicle. Repeat as required. Simple, right? Now perhaps the dozens of people I see on my drive into work can try this out some time. Fuck. -This Is Not So Hard

Very legit bitch!
That’s me! Just keeping you from speeding, that’s all…
There’s a reason we keep getting season after season of Canada’s Worst Driver….
Amen! I drive Mag hill every day and deal with this BS on a regular basis….very frustrating.
Yea this pisses me off too, makes me fantasize about having a battering ram on the front of my car and ruining their day and insurance! MUHAHAHA!
Also, conditions permitting, use cruise control. Passing someone going 102 then having them pass you going 130, then slowing down again and repeating is equally aggravating. Just set it at 119 and we can all be happy.
Do the signs say ‘ slow vehicle keep right” or do they say “stay the fuck out of the passing lane so asshat behind you can do 130”?
The drive from Truro to Halifax has become increasing frustrating over the years. Everyone in the left lane drives 100 and all the people in the passing lane do 130+ and ride your ass if you’re doing any less. I actually hate the latter more so…
drive portland street-alderney landing-macdonald bridge…its insanity personified. Thank goodness for my handy dandy new dash and rear mounted cameras…oh and i cringe saying this but its true…darmouth crossing, asian lady, white minivan. no look left turn into oncoming traffic(me) trying to beat the motorists coming from her right side….when she was greeted with screeching tires and blaring horn she panicked and stopped dead between the two lanes(mine and the opposite side) WHAT THE FUCK!! self preservation kicked in to avoid hitting her but i wish it hadnt….
