Tsk, tsk. Left lane <> fast lane. Left lane = PASSING lane! And yes, as
such, it is faster than the right lane, and referred to as the "fast lane",
not for ignoramusses to remain at what they may deem a "comfortable" speed
in the left.

So, you were breaking 2 traffic laws now?

Rudely trying to get you where you belong?
You mean to say, that YOU RUDELY were blocking the right-of-way of the
entire convoy, and the 4th was the first to attempt to reclaim it from you?

Perhaps you need to be confessing YOUR sin, and it will be forgiven YOU!

Another perfect example of the lack of driver's education in these United
States. In Germany (and I'm sure our continental listers will verify), if
you're dawdling along in the left (fast) lane at a mere80Mph, you are likely
to cause accidents!

On the Autobahn, many of the fastest drivers don't even NEED to flash the
highbeems anymore. The current trend seems to be simply activating the left
directional, about a mile back, and the well-educated, courteous drivers
simply move over to the middle lane, where the 80Mph is a bit more accepted,
but still on the slow side.

Not may things irritate me more while driving, than other drivers ignorance
of the law, ignorance of other motorists, and obvious total lack of
courtesy! Get with it, and get in the right lane, unless passing.

Welcome to the twilight zone!
