Left lane violators thread

Needs no explanation . Feel free to comment or post as you wish.

As for this fine Prius, it's safe to say the amount of carbon burned by people angrily trying to get around it negated any environmental benefit they were trying to achieve.

Well, I don't know how long you have been in the greater Seattle area, but that is what drivers do, they come on the freeway and head straight for the left lane as if it were a God given right, set the cruise control to "stupid" and look at YOU or anybody else when you try to get around them as if YOU are the idiot.

They are simply pylons,,, I go right around them as quickly as possible and leave them in my mirror.

I feel your pain.

AMEN, brother. I have been here since 1987, so it's not a new relevation for me, but I figured it would be good group therapy to talk about it

the following morning I came back from my L.A. trip, (which I enjoyed driving there for people's fast pace and flow) I'm stucked behind 3 prius, red, silver and blue. CHiPs style. Not to mentioned we are moving at the blazing speed of 55mph.

wish you have this thread earlier... God damn Prius!

Sweet! Another transplant! Just kidding! Passing people on my m/c is like insulting the youngest child in the family because they are ugly, left out and refuse to acknowledge it. (sorry, 2nd laughing face) Just kidding again,, I love ugly kids! (dammit,, 3rd laughing face).
Washington Native here, so I have a book of rights no one knows was printed. ( okay,, now this is out of hand!) Clearly,,, I DO need therapy!

I thought I was the only one that noticed Prius' being the majority of the left lane violators!!

Unfortunately, I've lived from coast to coast and Seattle is no exception....slow left lane drivers plauge all roads and highways I've been on.

I always love the look of that one person holding up traffic.

You know....not a care in the world, just rockin out to books on tape sipping a coffee. Then you have me, face red as a cherry ready to club baby seals.
