Just returned from a 1600 mile road trip. Admittedly I drive above the speed limit on the interstate. I hold a firm belief that the left lane is for passing only and one should return as quickly as possible to the middle or right lane after passing. Even if that means overriding your cruise setting or exceeding the speed limit for a bit. I am convinced that despite roads signs and actual laws against blocking the left lane, some people honestly don't give an actual F*@# about their fellow drivers or the danger they a creating behind them by blocking the left lane. I also believe a small subset of drivers believe themselves to be self-ordained speed enforcement officials (looking at you Prius drivers). It pisses me off tremendously to see the traffic pile up around me while an self-absorbed a55hat blocks the left lane mile after mile (OTR truckers included). Couple this with general cell phone addiction in ALL lanes and driving has become incredibly frustrating and risky. I used to enjoy the road trip experience, now it is just a necessary evil. The journey is no longer the destination. Rant over.
