You would think. There would have to be some reason for it. But this is the actual driveway (on the right). I don't understand how they got one tire off the ground in this driveway. I think they just somehow stomped on the gas pedal, but it didn't burn rubber or anything. |

It got me thinking about a focus group of drivers that I did many years ago. A young woman in that group said that she took off on a road trip, and figured out after a couple of hundred miles that she wasn't supposed to cruise in the left lane. She said, "I grew up in the city. You're supposed to cruise in the left lane there. How was I to know that it's different in the country?" She actually brings up a good point about our inconsistent lane philosophies. If you're in a major metro area and you're going to travel 20 miles on a highway, you're supposed to move toward the left so it's easier for others to get off and on. But if you're outside a metro area and you're going to travel 20 miles on a highway, you're supposed to stay in the right lane. I guess maybe the consistent part is that you leave the leftmost lane for passing, whether it's a 2-lane road or an 8-lane road. But even in metro areas you get the idiots who are cruising at a very high rate of speed and they're camping in the left lane. One might think it's an issue of 2-lane roads versus multi-lane roads, but in a metro area a 2-lane road gets cruisers in both lanes, and that's kind of necessary. So it makes me wonder. At what point when you're departing a metro area are you supposed to make the philosophical switch and never cruise in the leftmost lane? |

The nearest large-ish city to me with that driving situation has it marked. There are signs up that say "Through Traffic Left Lane OK" or something like that. California is one of the 29 states (as of this 2010 article) where you are required to move over if traveling at a slower speed than normal traffic: http://jalopnik.com/5501615/left-lan...e-by-state-map The most popular law follows the Uniform Vehicle Code, which says a car driving below the "normal speed of traffic" should be driven in the right-hand lane. Because it indicates "normal speed" instead of saying "speed limit" a driver going above the speed limit but slower than most traffic is still in the wrong. |

I will be the first one to admit I am not a great driver. I recently got a car over an SUV because the SUV was totalled andthe other day I looked in my review and side mirror changed lanes, didn't hear a honk or anything, just had a sense that someone was still on my left. I look over and this guy I ran off the road was just rolling with me on the shoulder. I swerved back over and he came back on the road and out of the corner of my eye I could feel his burning eyes. I was a bit worred because he was driving a plumming truck and I know he had some pipes that he was going to hit me over the head with, but I pulled into a sushi place and he yelled stuff and drove by.
