The left lane is for passing.....

So, I have finally created my blog...it's something I thought about for several months before actually gettin' 'er done. I live in the Dallas area...I drive for about 2 hours everyday on the freeway or parking lot, depending on time of day. It makes me crazy when people drive slowly in the left lane. I know, you say, well we are driving the speed LIMIT...yes, maybe so, but you are also causing major traffic congestion. Have you ever noticed how people are driving faster than you? Have you ever seen that line of cars stalled out behind you? Have you ever seen people passing you on the right, just to zoom back in front of you and move on down the road? If you haven't seen these things and are driving slower in the left lane, then open your eyes darlin' and look behind you with that rearview mirror installed front and center. You are the number cause of traffic jams in the heavy flow of traffic, you are a hazardous driver, and most importantly you are blocking the flow of emergency vehicles. Yes, I saw this one day as I was driving home. A person was driving in the left lane, an ambulance came upon them and they did not move over. I hope that if my family; or I am in that ambulance, you will get your slow happy butt over to the right or center lane and let it go by. I also hope that you are reading this and will make a decision to be a better driver by moving to the center lane, right lane or get off the freeway since you aren't staying with the flow of traffic. I see this every day and I also see why people get road raged....and trust me, a road raged, hormonal female is not good for anyone.
