People who drive slow in the fast lane by SnArL2004-10-22 08:55:58
  120 mph?!?! by schwing12004-10-22 09:06:11

      So you're offended that the driver by Kickstart2004-10-22 09:11:59
        The left lane is supposed to be used for passing by SnArL2004-10-22 09:29:56
          Agreed. Regardless of the by phezult 2004-10-22 09:35:33
speeds being traveled, braking when someone comes up behind you is EXTREMELY dangerous. That's how accidents are caused. It could have been 50mph and 70mph. Would you all harrangue him for 5mph over the limit?

There's a strech of interstate that goes through the city of Syracuse, with a speed of 45. If you do 45, you'll get creamed. End of story.

The left lane is technically supposed to be empty unless the vehicle in it is passing someone else.

While I may not entirely agree with the going 120mph in traffic (note the "in traffic"), I completely agree about the left lane and the braking.
