Kim W5TIT

Just to illustrate the idiocy of some of the people on the freeway, I'll
throw in a personal anecdote. I was driving down a multilane freeway
through a construction zone and I was in the rightmost lane. I was
going
with the flow of the traffic in the slow lane, which was slightly above
the
limit posted for the construction zone. A semi truck comes up behind
me,
rides my bumper, honks, flashes his lights. Now, I'm already in the
slow
lane with no way to speed up since the vehicles ahead of me aren't going
any
faster and wouldn't want to anyway as there is too much chance to hurt a
construction worker plus fines in construction zones are very steep
here.
This idiot keeps it up until we are out of the construction zone and it
is
possible to move further to the right.

You must have been driving near Dallas...GRIN

Nope. It was near Detroit, MI.

We also have a problem that sometimes mandates driving regularly in the
leftmost lane in some areas. We have a lot of left side freeway exits.
Sometimes traffic is heavy enough that you'd better get into that left lane
at least 5 miles before you get to the exit or you will never be able to get
over to it.
