If you are in favor of laws against left lane "slow" drivers

are you also in favor of more electronic surveillance to ticket speeders via their mailbox ?
In the name of safety ... of course.

For those who can't merge on the interstate, or any road with traffic flowing, without coming to a stop...stay home.
For those who can't drive anywhere but the left left, and do so only at a speed that impedes the flow of traffic, stay home.
For those who like to speed up until they are side-by-side with other slower traffic to ensure one can't get by....
ugh, too early to get aggravated about traffic...

that horribly designed I20/I26 interchange in chicken city.
Obvious answer 80% don't understand - spacing. Errbody keeps 2-3 carlengths apart and you can all merge smoothly.

I had a wreck there

Was traveling east bound and it was a clogged mess as usual on the two right lanes. I was in the middle lane (not the far left) doing a little over the speed limit. Dude in one of the snarled lanes got impatient and swerved into my lane without seeing me.
Luckily no injuries. Banged up the hell out of the entire right side of my Trailblazer that I had at the time. ###### up his F150 pretty good, too.
But yep, I got to experience how much that spot sucks first hand.

Electronic surveillance tickets are ######## and can't be trusted since law enforcement uses speeding tickets for revenue and to meet quotas (Yes they do! Sit the F down. Yes, they do.)
People who drive slow in the left lane are legitimately putting people's lives at risk. In states where this is enforced and recognized, traffic flows much smoother with far fewer traffic deaths.
SC leads the nation in traffic deaths. Our left lane enforcement is atrocious. I'm not saying correlation equals causation, but... well, maybe I ####### am.

Here is my breakdown of types of people who I notice cruising in the left lane most.
20% middle-aged white Karens
20% black people
25% folks who look like they should appear on "My 600 Lb Life"
15% nerdy looking white dudes who look poor
20% people in Ford Rangers

It doesn't matter if you don't like that people drive faster than you. IT'S THE LAW THAT THE LEFT LANE IS ONLY USED FOR PASSING.
The signs say for slower traffic to keep right.
It endangers people's lives. You don't have a defense for it.

What about the Mexicans?
You left out the Mexican women that can barely see over the steering wheel and have only been driving a few weeks.
and don't get me started on the Asian drivers...
because I live in the triangle and there are a whole bunch of people here that are new incompetent adult drivers.

Speed kills and we all know it. Put GPS on all cars and send the tickets based on recorded speed. I bet everyone would slow down or we raise the speed limit.

1
Mar 17, 2023, 8:56 AM

I'd would graciously them surveil all of my cars.
In SC, because the drivers are so ridiculously bad, our insurance premiums are some of the highest in the nation. So what ends up happening is the majority of responsible drivers end up paying for the minority who are irresponsible.
Law enforcement isn't enough.

Mar 17, 2023, 3:26 PM

Requirement is tacked on to the bill, and Sc’a mandatory coverages limits are pretty low by national standards, so you are paying extra because it’s likely your company will be picking up the tab if the other at fault party has the minimums and they don’t meet the total costs. Underinsured motorist coverage is a huge part of SC premiums.

Left lane minimum...
Mar 19, 2023, 2:57 PM
|

should be the speed limit. However, that doesn't give anyone the right to restrict traffic. People should be civilized.
We shouldn't be running up people's butts to try and control which lane they use and the slow pokes should get out of the way when others want to drive 30+ mph over the speed limit.
My philosophy is 'If you want to kill yourself with excessive speed then I want you to pass me so I'll e behind you and not involved in your death. Don't expect me to speed up much pass the limit just to be a convenience to you. I drive my car and you drive yours and there's a medium and shoulder if you just have to get pass me immediately.'
