this is my 3,000th post! woo-hoo!!


so do u get annoyed by unlawful drivers that impede the left lane on the freeways aka the passing lane? unless your state or local law states otherwise, these are not traveling lanes. you're supposed to get in, speed up, pass and get out. so what are these slow driving lane hogs doing driving in the left passing lane? i always think these drivers are trying to make somekind of statement lol. furthermore it's not really safe to impede the passing lane.


one cool thing about the passing lane is that many places allow u to drive beyond the speed limit in order to pass another slow moving vehicle in front of u. for example, here in Washington state, RCW 46.61.425 states that we "may exceed the speed limit" to pass a vehicle driving less than the legal maximum speed limit. on the freeway, i can hit 80 mph or more before i can safely pass the slower vehicle.


anyway what do u think about drivers traveling in the left passing lane? how fast have u driven in the left lane in order to pass another vehicle?
