    Yeah your not kidding either! You HAVE TO follow the speed of traffic if you do not want to risk someone running into the back of you.

    I'd feel a lot safer if they never let VA drivers out of VA!!! It never fails when you run into a LLH doing 1 over the PSL taking 12 miles to pass someone, they are from VA or NC!!!
    Cannot agree with you anymore. So god damn annoying. VA and NC drivers do this bull**** all the time In MD they know their place most of the time though, all the way in the right lane getting blown past by everyone else .
    The most irritating technique(at least on my part of NC), if you do manage to pass on the left and the LLH gets back into the right lane they will speed up at least 10 to 15 MPH to keep you from passing them. This one usually pissed me off the most concerning my peeps from North Cackylacky.

    hey i like the left lane
    ironically its the right lane i like to speed in - its the whole cosine thing, since the popo is always in the median to the left!

    I'll speed in whatever lane I can get a clear shot in. Most often it's the left lane, since most of the PSL-lackeys hang out in the right lane. But, if the right lane is clear, that's where I go, since the rules of the road say "keep right except to pass!"
    If I'm passing you on the right, YOU are in the wrong lane!

    If speed kills, how come I'm still alive?

    GA was enforcing the left lane law for a while. It seems one of the legislators got held up by a LLH and introduced a new bill to make it illegal to ride in the left lane of not passing. After all that uproar died down I have not heard much on it being enforced.

    Would be interesting to see the breakdown on this. At least they're admitting it is a tax.
