It's not bad at all. The trick to it is to know that that's what they
do, and more to the point, that's what they expect =you= to do. They
are ready and expect you to be ready.
It only becomes really dangerous when an American overtakes on the
right lane of a highway. Because nobody expects it, nobody is looking
there.
Hey, you aren't supposed to do that here, and I think it's a stupid
rule. If you're going to slow, I'm going to pass you, I don't care in
which lane I have to do it in.


I'll remember you said that after they pull you out of the ditch. evil

There is nothing I hate more than someone who won't even momentarilly
lift to give slower traffic a chace to move to the right.


Problem around here, and were I used to live, is that the slower traffic
feels they have a God-given right to enforce the speed limit.


You don't obey the speed limit I was in Dallas Saturday, driving wasn't
too bad. I lived there for 13 years after moving from a small town in
New Mexico. Talk about being lost for the first 6 months

Never said I did. But it's the police job to enforce it, not the jerk
in the left lane doing 10 under.

So, were you stuck on the LBJ for that 6 months or just on Beltline?

Guilty of doing that once, in Chicago....although technically it was a
grass shoulder on the interstate.
