People suck ass at driving on the highway?

So often the roles of the highway lanes seem to be reversed. The left lane is full of dummies which makes the left lane the slow lane because there are so many of them and they aren't passing anyone as they should be because it's the passing lane. The right lane then gets used as the passing lane by a lot of people which is much more dangerous than the left lane. Does this happen where anyone else lives? I'm in MA this happens on the pike almost everytime I drive on it at least once the left lane is right at or below the speed limit

welcome to CA, OR, WA(sometimes). NV is surprisingly much better about this.
People are not taught to move over even tho the signs say so.
Don't get me started on blinker!

I've been driving for 20 years, and yes it seems people been getting dumber over the past years..

Chicago checking in.....of course rush hour (which seems to last all day) keeps speeds around 15mph in almost every lane!

Yeah, i dont care what CA people say. If you've never been to Chicago, you have never experienced traffic. 290 out of the city from 1pm to 8 or 9pm is 2 hours minimun to go 20 miles. Don't even start on 90/94 lol.

Lol at grammar and double punctuation. But in GA it's a shit show.

Why just the highway?

[efficient]

Everyday I drive 25 miles, I deal with morons all the time going so slow in the fast lane.

[AndrewBird]

I don't know what you are talking about. I've never seen anyone do what you are describing ever.

Said no one ever.

The worst is people who fail to understand the point of an entrance merging lane and attempt to merge into a 100km/h zone at 50km/h. So incredibly dangerous.

[lukeADE335i]

Or those who end up not merging and stop in the merge lane - trying to merge into traffic from 0km/h is not great either!

[UlrichFennec]

I get more irritated by people not using their blinkers on the freeway. That shit's dangerous.

This usually happens because of the aforementioned idiots.

[Stanley Rockafella]

The reason why (from what I can tell) that some hog the passing lane, is usually they do not want to have to move over every time there's another car merging onto the highway. This makes it easier for those merging onto the highway.

While I don't agree with this, I see the logic.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. The 405 is legendary for a reason.

I just notice more crazies on the road period. Our fast lanes bunch up way faster than the slower lanes when the bungee cord effect happens in traffic.
