I try hard to not pass on the right. Way too dangerous. A few days ago I was moving over to the right when some knucklehead came from my left and behind to the same spot I was moving to. I saw it coming so avoided the crash that they were trying to cause.

I have to take I-10 to get into town most days. It's about 5 lanes wide on both sides and 65mph, IN TOWN. Should be 55. I swear, people are going 75 and 80. Cops work it pretty hard but aren't there every day.

The thing I see that is the most dangerous is the folks going faster than the rest of traffic and changing multiple lanes at one time. Literally 3 or 4 lanes at once then back again. It seems to be a phenomenon here, and Dallas, Houston, and around DC. I'm sure there are others but that's just what I've seen.

As for worst drivers, I've lived in DC, Ohio, Hawaii, and a bunch of other places. They all have their proclivities but Hawaii is pretty bad and there is no where to go on the H-1. Rules really don't apply and if you just hang a shaka out the window then all of your bad driving is supposed to be excused.

Give me Germany any day. Unmarked police cars that nick you for being in passing lane too long or passing them on right.
