Lefties

[TheLastColdBeer]

Another long cruise back from Texas yesterday, another close shave with a lefty. You know them. The people that own the left hand lane. They won't pass, they won't pull back into the right lane, and they park in your blind spot. Missouri, you have the worst! RT44 is riddled with people that jam you into the back of tractor-trailer rigs, and follow single file for miles in the passing lane. After dark, and I tried to yield to a dude flying into merging traffic, guess what? Somebody had parked next to me, out of mirror sight, and had obviously been there for a mile or better. Luckily I turned my head to check my six, yup! A miserable squatter that couldn't make up his mind. Followed another dweeb up and down hills while he watched a movie on his center console (sadly, he had St.Charles dealership surrounding Illinois plates).

The Dodge Ram isn't near as bad, hard for them to get near undetected, but the Cadillac has terrible blind spots around both door posts. You have to physically look to make sure nothing is there.  I'll admit, I enjoy watching semis box them in and force them to change lanes, but that shouldn't have to happen. Stay safe out there, it's Thanksgiving travel time.

same in Canada , i use the shoulder to pass the road Karians if need be

yes  Karians drive middle or right lane and save on brake pads & gas, i bet if a ambulance came behind you and you park the car there.

That's why most of the trucks around here have custom made steel push bumpers. Well that and the original bumpers usually rust off in about 10 years. Welcome to the rust belt lol.

I feel this and I am from Missouri.

Honorable mention to the phonies, tailgaters, & drivers that have never used a turn signal in their lives.  

I like Buc-ee's, but I despise the double circle jerk in Springfield. Nobody knows how to get into it, what lane to use, or how to yield.

Same here in Quebec , poeple dont know about road signs like merge or yield when they access into a highway they just cut incomin traffic then all have to brake and make a traffic jam , and yes we have a lot that think a semi can stop on a dime and they cut them like non sense.

Here we say they got their driving licence out of a Craker Jack box...
