    What is this “passing lane” of which you speak? All I’ve ever seen in America is the fast lane and the slow lane(s).

          It’s really not. If you’re driving the speed limit in the left lane when you could practically be in any other lane you’re an asshole. What you’re doing is legal, but you’re still a dick.

          Okay, so only use the left lane when you’re passing. Speed limit has nothing to do with it.

          Nope. You see there are two realities. One where the DOT exists and they write traffic laws for. Then there’s the reality the rest of us are living in. Cops are not behind every bush or blade of grass so adherence to the rules is an optional behaviour.

          People dogmatically sticking to the speed limit while there’s a line of cars behind them are the worst type of narcissistic asshole. Even if they don’t want to speed, they can pull over and let the rest of us pass them. But they don’t. Because that would mean feeling shame and they have none.
