I don't know why this concept is so foreign to the people in my area. My favorite are the drivers I see enter the highway then immediately cross two lanes to get to the leftmost lane only to get passed on the right by the cars coming up behind them.
This is my second biggest driving pet peeve. My biggest is people who pull out from a side street right in front of me (often without stopping) when there is no one behind me and then proceed to go under the speed limit. Road rage ensues
I feel like drivers should be required to pass a driving test every few years just so it’s a mechanism to keep people’s bs habits like these in check and as a reminder that we don’t own the roads.
We should also update our driving laws and tests to catch bs like this, which is incredibly dangerous.
I’m with you on all of this.
I believe it used to be different, at least here in Belgium.
Driving below the maximum speed was right lane, driving the maximum speed is middle, and driving over the maximum speed was left lane.
Some people still believe it to be like that.
