What if the right lane is full of potholes?

Move over to it long enough for the people behind to pass and then move back to the left. Very simple

It's very simple.

Right lane = speed limit or slower lane.

Left lane = fast or passing lane

It isn't that hard. Driving slow and impeding the flow of traffic in the left/PASSING lane is dangerous. Go look on youtube at the dangers it poses.

I don't get how anyone who has been driving in America for all their life doesn't get this. It ain't rocket science. I don't like looking like an inconsiderate/stupid driver.

Now Mexicans on the other hand..........

1. Complain to your state DOT.

2. Let your congressman know.

3. Let your state rep know.

4. Get over in the fast lane and speed up to that lanes flow of traffic.

5. Stay home or let someone who is able drive.

I rarely drive in left lane I'm a right lane try to do the speed limit not go crazy guy. Left lane is for angry people and the one that apparently drive way better than me.

If I'm in a squeeze for lane options, and there's a string of traffic , all trying to merge off the ramp, onto the hiway, at times I'll move into the left side so I won't need to negotiate those cahs all trying to merge in front and behind me. I don't go slower, howevah.

Ill speed up til the right lane isn't so impacted, then move back there.

I prefer to keep the cah length military distance along the way.

Our asphalt mix design doesn't stand up well from rain. August was wet here and pot holes were everywhere, patched now. The worst one I saw was 2 feet in diameter and a foot deep and was there for a bunch of days! alignment destroyer......


I love the smell of burning spruce---I love the sound of a spring time goose---I love the feel of 40 below---from my trapline I will never go!

yes call. tailgating is dangerous. its also a major violation on license if ticketed.

If you have 40 tons under your butt and you like to tailgate in an attempt to gain 15 seconds your an idiot.

Or tell them where their truck is and they should send another driver out to get it the one that's was driving it is no longer capable. Some us us don't have the best reactions to dangerous drivers especially after having someone kill one of our kids and put them and their wife in icu for two weeks. Got to tell you though sitting in court is no fun and lawyers are expensive. It's just a good example of why you should always be polite. You never know what others are or have gone through.

On my to a job this morning I was in the left lane of I35 coming in to KC. About 100 yards behind the guy in front of me matching his speed. Avoiding the traffic coming on. Pickup comes around me on the right accelerating. Bout caused a crash with folks getting on. I get to my exit 3-4 miles and pickup is still only 100 yards ahead of me. I did not speed up. Stupid
