I’ve often said that if I were king, I’d replace all the signs that say “SLOW TRAFFIC KEEP RIGHT” with ones that say “LEFT LANE FOR PASSING ONLY.” But these are much more blunt:

Yes, this is a chronic problem in Colorado. I wish I could send every CO driver to a year of California driving school (i.e., the LA interstate system).
I’m guessing they’re ‘shopped, but lordy, I wish they were real.
yeahp. It’s like that, really bad in most cities. My father was a teamster for just shy of 30 years, so when I learned how to drive, road etiquette was a something I learned more thoroughly than the specs of my car.
6 lane highways teach people bad habits. And engineers who designed left exits should be shot.
Think left exits are bad? How about left entrances? (e.g. 405N to 101W)
Oh, and whoever designed the area around the 10E to 405S, I hope he/she receives adequate punishment in this life or the next.
I hate playing the lane change tango. Your coming up on someone in the left lane and think you can just signal, get over, pass them, and get back over. But they see your signal and then they signal to get over. So you turn yours off and hold straight to let them over but then they switch theirs off and stay in the lane. And then you try to get over but then they try to get over and you swing back but then they straighten out with you. I know some people do it on purpose because they are being a dipshit, but lots of people are just that indecisive about things. I don’t think speed kills personally. Its the just all those people in your way that suck.
Yes, those who designed left entrances should be drawn and quartered.
This is all mirrored in the British Empire but yes.. and people who tailgate or otherwise try to indicate that they want you to get out of the god damn lane are considered the problem.
Considering that we have 3d sound and digital radio technology, why is communication between cars still via semaphore? (which the vast majority of people don’t use, or don’t use correctly). Tradition is the only answer I can imagine.. and that includes people who seem to think giving drivers the ability to communicate with each other would cause more problems than it solves. Fable of the shoes again.
The technophiles seem more interested in turning driving into a passive process.. like catching the bus, but with less seats. How about empowering the driver?
Steve Jackson had the solution in car wars… armor and weapons. I find AZ the best and WA the worst, but I haven’t been everywhere.
Art imitates Leland:
“Colonel, I…I was raised in a gracious and civilized atmosphere. I was taught the Golden Rule, and with the exception of some few business dealings, I have learned to live by it. However, in this case, I want these vermin HUNG! I want them buried in anthills, their bodies smeared with honey!…I want them drawn and quartered, and I want the pieces arrested!” — Maj. Winchester, MASH episode “A Night at Rosie’s”
I’m almost with Ken Anthony.
Paintball guns for everyone. And dash-mounted ‘bounty’ cameras to penalize egregious behavior.
