People love to go slow in the left lane because it gives them a beautiful
view of the "open" road. It's open all right but only in front. Behind them
all hell is braking (not a mistake) loose. Unfortunately the older set are
the worst offenders in this area. Sunday's in Montreal are unbeleivable.
Hundreds of Ma and Pa Kettles slowly cruising down the highway in the
passing lane. Every one with a few cars backed up behind them. The highway
drops 20 Km/hour from normal.
I don't know about the US but whenvever I drive in western Canada (I live in
the east), I have fits trying to pass anybody. There the habit of pulling
over to let someone faster through is not customary. I have seen a highway
full of cars all going average speed with people weaving back and forth
slowly passing on through. Really infuriating when you are in a hurry.
Always amazed me that more cases of road rage aren't reported.
