    Honest question here,... Why don't you "travel in the exit lane to avoid traffic, then get back into lane right at the end"?
    Why does doing that make somebody a jerk?

    why? Because you are the cause of the delay and not the only one trying to make work on time, genius!

    i can't stand people who think that because they're going faster than the posted limit that they are entitled to drive in the passing lane. When I come up your *kitten*, it's nothing personal.... it's just my way of saying "get the *kitten* over, I want to go faster than you" with my car, you know the only way I can. If it's night time I will give you a flash. Also code for "get out of the way"

    You want to know why? Because passing on the RIGHT is frowned upon. I don't like passing on the right. slower traffic keep right applies no matter how fast you are going.

    But going 100+ is perfectly fine? Fine logic you have there, lol.

    State "keep right" laws

    http://www.mit.edu/~jfc/right.html

    Ignorance is no excuse.

    i explained that the conditions of my city make the left lane not a passing lane, by overwhelming consensus and convention. also, i don't live in a state.

    #1 You asked:
    Supposed to move over? According to which law?
    #2 I assume you live in D.C. It also has a Slower Traffic Keep Right Law.

    Sorry was unclear - but, thank you, yes, I did ask for a law, & neglected to offer a context re location, my bad - I meant, what law permits tailgating as an appropriate form of inter-driver communication?

    The left lane is the passing lane in most places, of course, and technically (but in no way realistically) in mine too

    Not in DC, not in the US

    Oh, well that whole back and forth was pointless. It's comparing apples and oranges, we don't know how people drive in your country.

    Passing lane is not a technical thing, it's a very real in our country because it is big and we can afford those lanes except during rush hours in major metropolitan areas.

    I am appalled at the lack of road ethics shown by people. For example, people would travel in the exit lane to avoid traffic, then get back into lane right at the end. I hate these people. There is something wrong with them. We all justify our stupid actions but it really is a reflection of our character. Stop being a jerk!
    Did they use their signal light to change lanes?

    What? It's 'very real' on the books here too - it's just unenforceable, because there is literally no space for all the freaking cars. NOSPACE

    and we can afford it, we just have an ashhat for a mayor. other cities don't have this problem.

    I really hate it when people feel the need to drive up the middle lane to pass everyone out or pass you out on a two-way street. So dangerous. Also when you have to get into the passing lane to get off of an exit so you must slow down and they drive right up to the back of your car and get mad.

    "very real" I mean it is not just on the books and is enforced, hence it is very real with everyday implications.

    By "afford" I was metaphorically referring to space/land and not money. If you don't have enough space to use left lanes for passing then you aren't really experiencing the same issue we are talking about.

    My peeve at the moment:

    Stupid white van waiting to pull onto a 60mph road, gives way to the car directly in front of me and whilst looking the wrong way to see if it had passed, pulls out, forcing me to do an emergency stop (and only narrowly avoiding hitting him). I blast him with the horn and he then proceeds to block both sides of the road to tell me off for driving too fast (48mph on a 60mph straight road? Car in front going faster than me not a problem?). Interesting I get 'taught' a lesson in dangerous driving when he was the one who nearly caused an accident by not looking and then blocked two lanes of a 60mph road, causing 4 more cars to slam on the brakes to avoid hitting him and me whilst he was shouting through the window! Psychotic! How do these people get licenses?

    i have not ONLY driven around the city i live in. i'm in north america. and a reasonable physical infrastructure is not necessarily constrained by square area.

    I haven't read through the thread yet so no idea if it's been mentioned, but wanted to add mine in anyways:

    1. People who turn out in front of you really fast from a side street - and when there are no cars behind you - and then drive slower than molasses.
