You may not have seen this post above your own: <br /><br />"Most of the time people pass on the right shoulder because of ignorance." <br /><br />Whether you like it or not, stupidity will eventually prevail and idiots will take to the shoulder, or even the median to get where they want to be in the traffic configuration. This idiot did that. <br /><br />And to the misinformed go-cart drivers who suggest the left lane is primarily for passing....that's just pure damned ignorant and illogical. It is indeed a lane typically used to pass slower moving traffic, but you cannot cite any manualized reference restricting that lane for such purpose.

That lane has a purpose and that purpose is to pass. If you are not overtaking a vehicle in that lane then you should be in the right lane.<br /><br />It is that simple.<br /><br />Now...if it gets complicated...like the car in front of you is traveling at the same speed as you...then you may have to adjust your speed up an MPH or down an MPH...but whatever you do...do not stay in the left lane.<br /><br />There are laws...and there are articles addressing the laws...and there are police officers quoted in the articles telling YOU that it is not legal to ride in the left lane.<br /><br />Do you understand that...did that make it through your dense brain?<br /><br />Do you see that no where in that type that I put forth that I said anyone should pass anybody on the shoulder of the road?<br /><br />And we wonder why this state remains the dumbest, most illiterate state in the nation?<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-35810383857672448002016-10-19T14:43:42.814-05:002016-10-19T14:43:42.814-05:00I have to wonder if all these self-righteous, holi...I have to wonder if all these self-righteous, holier-than-thou comments from the wannabe preachers (or one very prolific preacher wannabe), are not from the sort who fly by me, driving at reckless speeds, and otherwise driving like psychotic jerks - with license tags that say things like "4GIVN".<br /><br />Save it for Sunday School, Brother Bob!!!

I say to myself, "Soon, enough, buddy, you'll be wrapped around a utility pole, or smooshed-flat against a concrete embankment."<br /><br />It helps me control my rage, to think these things. And so, when these things actually come to pass, it reinforces the effectiveness of my anger control strategy.

Why do they think there is more than one lane? It is because one lane would not handle the number of cars using the road. If all of the cars drove in the right lane unless passing we would have one long parking lot.

There were quite a few things said about the driver that were not exactly nice. Go back and look for yourself if you don't believe me. Or the Van Sice case as well. <br /><br />This kid was reckless and was responsible for his own death. We hate it for the family and friends because they are suffering. However, be thankful he didn't kill anyone else as well. The only difference between him and the other drivers is he didn't kill anyone besides himself. <br /><br />by the way, WLBT was going through his FB page and posting photos yet I don't see anyone slamming WLBT for doing so.
