Why are you in the fast lane when you are going slow?

Question

The signs along the freeway in Washington state say keep right except to pass. Even when there isn't alot of traffic you still find people driving in the fast lane who have no business being there. So my question, who are you and why are you there?

Answer 1

BECAUSE IM A RETARS AN IM MORE IPORTAN TH AN ANYONE ELSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

lol good question. slow drivers get on my nerves!!

Answer 3

I've seen women put make-up on while driving, people talking to other passengers (tourists), but the ones that makes me the most mad are the ones on their cell phones!

...and we have to get out of their way.  Be nice to go back to before cell phones were carried.

Merry Xmas everyone.

Answer 4

My mom does it and she says since she is going the speed limit that is fast enough for anybody.  If she wants to go slower than the speed limit she moves over to the right.

She doesn't know there are two speed limits, one for all the lanes except the left lane.

Answer 5

I agree this is so annoying ...In most states their are signs that say slower traffic drive in right lane..Yet these slow pokes

Tye up traffic and get on allot of peoples nerves... In Chicago Illinois you will be pushed off the road by irate drivers and police will ticket for obstructing traffic.. Go with the flow or get off the interstate !!!

Answer 6

I am a native Atlantan and we drive "fast", a well known fact. You have "hit" a "pet peeve" of mine.  Georgia's Department of Transportation will tell you the "fast lane" is for "faster moving" traffic.  This means yield to faster traffic, GET OVER.  Just because it is your opinion your current speed is OK does not mean stay and impede faster traffic.

Our Commissioner of Georgia's Department of Transportation recently was on talk radio hosted by Neal Boortz.  A caller had this specific question and he stated the left or fast lane is for faster moving traffic regardless.

Answer 7

What is your definition of "going slow"?

If there isn't a lot of traffic, then my guess is that all traffic is moving at around the speed limit, and you're mad because you want to go faster.  Which you can't.

Answer 8

there not actually going anywhere.there on that side of the road to look at the grass and look at the faces of on coming cars.but they cant pull over or stop there so they just go slow.

Answer 9

sorry its me!...i drive on the left here in uk...and i get confused....lol

Answer 10

I hate those people!  The ones who are going so slow in the left lane, that people in the right lane pass them.  *Shakes fist at slow drivers* lol

Answer 11

1.  The least traffic is in the left lane.

2.  You only have to worry about cars on your right instead of your left and right.

3.  You don't have to worry about cars merging onto the road.

The fast lane is the place to be!  (Note: I obey the law, so it's not me.  I'm just explaining.)

Answer 12

they have those signs in new jersey also. I think the law means drive left pass right since it seems most drivers do that. i really do not have an answer for you. sorry but merry xmas

Answer 13

Huh? What?  I can't pay attention 'cause I'm talking on my cell phone.

Answer 14

If you find out, let me know.  We have the same laws and the same people in Kentucky.

If they are doing 80, then I don't mind it.  When they are doing just the speed limit or even slower, it bugs me.  Especially, when I pass them while I'm in the right lane.

Answer 15
