Why do slow people sit in the fast lane?

Question

Why do slow people sit in the fast lane?

Answer 1

I'm not sure about other states, but here in Michigan (particularly on US-23) the speed limit is 70, but 60 for trucks. They go 'slow' in the left lane while passing trucks, but slowing up speeders.

Other than that, I have no idea. It really freakin' irritates me.

Answer 2

The fast lane is really the passing lane.  We should all be in the slow lane unless we are over taking the car in front of us.

I would like to see the police ticket these people and have them retake their driving test.  Then maybe they would realize that they are not driving properly or they will lose their license and then they can take the bus.

good luck.

Answer 3

Dunno what you mean by "slow".  If someone is going at the speed limit, they can be in any lane they want.  You can't be going faster anyway.

Answer 4

They wanna get run over .

Answer 5

the real question is : why do fast people sit in the fast lane then they get all mad because everyone is going slow

Answer 6

A question I always ask myself.

We just live with a bunch of complete retards.

Only answer I can think of.

Answer 7

If I'm goin' the speed limit, why should I not be in either lane I want?   You're not allowed to go faster than I'm goin'.

Answer 8

They want to feel like they are fast!

Answer 9

To drive the rest of us crazy!  They inspire road rage...

Answer 10

I dont see the problem,, Eg The next turn right is on the right soI have to set  myself  to turn rigrt

Answer 11

They are stupid.

Answer 12

Maybe you shouldn't call it the fastlane, but the passing lane like

Fordman says, or  my motto, " KEEP UP OR GET OVER" It's a courtesy to not hold up the passing lane, you never know when a CHP  is going to come up behind you doing 100mph !

Answer 13

This annoys the c**p out of me.

I think:

a) Cos they're bad drivers since they dont look in the rear view mirror

b) They drive a fancy car and think its their right

c) They're control freaks, if I cant drive faster than a 100 than neither can you.

grrrrr

It makes driving actually more dangerous as you have to switch lanes to overtake!

Answer 14

think about it....thats why they are SLOW.... =P
