        Insert the guy in a Prius going 30 mph under the speed limit and slamming on his brakes for no reason.

        Insert everyone in the passing lane that isn’t passing.

          What is this “passing lane” of which you speak? All I’ve ever seen in America is the fast lane and the slow lane(s).

                Nope. You see there are two realities. One where the DOT exists and they write traffic laws for. Then there’s the reality the rest of us are living in. Cops are not behind every bush or blade of grass so adherence to the rules is an optional behaviour.

                People dogmatically sticking to the speed limit while there’s a line of cars behind them are the worst type of narcissistic asshole. Even if they don’t want to speed, they can pull over and let the rest of us pass them. But they don’t. Because that would mean feeling shame and they have none.

        One photo of a truck hogging two lanes and I’ll believe it’s something you didn’t just make up.

      If you swerve in and out of lanes to try to get ahead, you can be traffic for an easy 3 or 4 lanes!

          And only end up being farther back than if they had just stayed put, as everybody else had the same thought, making the new lane the slower one.

            And even if it doesn’t, they lose any time they could have possibly gained the moment they get off the highway and hit a red light.
