F...Left Lane Drivers

[ArtMonkDrillz]

I'll admit that I probably drive in the left lane more than I should, but if I'm in it and I see someone coming up fast behind me I'll get over as soon as I can. Likewise, if there aren't many other people on the road I'll do my best to stay out of the passing lane unless I'm doing just that.

Just yesterday I was driving home on I-95 just south of Baltimore and I'm cruising in the left lane going a little bit fast than the people on the right (I was probably going about 70 in a 65mph zone). There was a car about 100 yards ahead of me in the lane to my right going around 60, no one was in front of him and he wasn't be tailgated or anything like that but he suddenly decided to move to the left lane for no apparent reason. I had to hit the breaks pretty hard to avoid slamming into him.

If someone is driving in the left lane and they're going the speed limit and/or there are cars in front of them so they have no where to go I usually don't get too annoyed. But when they're in the left just putzing along I get pissed. I don't really think I'm an aggressive driver but sometimes I wish I had a cow-catcher or plow or something on the front of my car so that I could move this a-holes over.
