Austria is close to Germany. Seem to recall my Austrian taxi driver driving on the sidewalk one time...
In Texas, you are generally good for limit + 5 mph. Depending on if the officer is up to his quota, could be limit + 10 to 15. I have driven in 47 states and never been pulled over while staying within 5 mph of the limit. Sadly, I have never seen or heard of anyone ticketed for going slow in the left lane until this new story. Wish it would happen far more often. If someone wants to drive slow, great. Just do it in the right lane. Certainly enjoying the increased speed limits of the past few years in Texas. 80 mph on I-10 in west Texas helps. Many others going up to 75 mph. |

Trust me if you think American drivers are bad, you need to see some countries that make American drivers look like super stars. I challenge you to see what driving in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, France and Italy or even Mexico is really like. Those are just a few off the top f my head that I have had experience with. Qatar was another crazy one but I blame that on the lack of traffic markers, road signs or LEO's... LOL

In Pa it is illegal to drive in the left lane of a highway unless you are passing. It is also illegal to stay in the right lane if someone is pulled off the shoulder of the road on the right. You must move over if you can. Example: A cop has someone pulled over or someone is changing a flat.
And sadly, very few do either. |

In these parts it's known as "Failure to Keep Right" and it's a ticket that should be handed out WAY more often!!

This bimbo did not get a "speeding" ticket for going too slow. She was cited for being in the wrong damn lane for the speed she had decided that she, and everybody else would be doing (have you noticed that a SPEEDING driver does not force anybody else's speed, but a SLOW driver forces everybody else behind them to adjust to the speed that THEY have selected?). The lane hog should get a ticket, if just to emphasize the fact that seems to escape so many: Left lane for passing, right lane for ANY f'n speed you like... without pissing anybody off! Such a simple concept, but plenty of people out there willing to reveal their IQs to everybody else by plodding along in the wrong damn lane.

Spend time in Israel or Bangkok. You will have a lot more patience for American drivers.

KEEP RIGHT EXCEPT TO PASS. It is that simple, but most just dont get it, even the cops

I wish everyone that made me pass on the right because they were blocking faster traffic in the left lane, would get a $1,000 ticket every time they did it. Sorry swizlstick, but this includes you. You are not only being inconsiderate, but you are also a hazard on the highway and should be removed until you learn how to drive.

Camaro's high beams work well for lane hogs. Give em a light show.
