A-hole highway drivers...

Great...

been there, done that and hate to burst your bubble, but there was no tears and nobody fucks with me in the joint.

Just what society needs - another thug that is actually proud of going to prison....

Ever travelled in the US? It is the same way.....people look at you strange if you don't. It is actually amazing to see: You come up over a hill and as far as the eye can see the left lane is clear..even if there is only two lanes.



and I guess that means someone who calls himself an alcoholic beverage must be an alcoholic?

this is true on interstates, but not in the cities with commuter traffic

You are correct but cities like Chicago have more HOV lanes than we do....and 75 going into Atlanta I think has 2 hov lanes.

You are correct here but you are mistaken about the purpose of an HOV lane. An HOV lane is a legislated lane that has to do with how many people are in your car (must be more than one), not by how fast you are travelling. People are welcome to drive BELOW the speed limit in all those empty left-hand HOV lanes in the States - nothing to do with speed or passing, simply a mechanism to encourage car pooling.

I realize this bay...I was just pointing out that in areas with 1 or 2 HOV lanes it is difficult to maintain a passing lane as well.....

I drive in the US quitw a bit but I am not really sure if it is a law or just by convention that they do that. It does speed things up, but in England it is strictly enforced. I almost think that there is some unwritten gentlemens type agreement that if someone is slow in the third lane and you come up behind them. If they don't move over you can follow them to the next lay-by and throttle them. That last bit is just a perception but drivers take it very seriously. Do not get in the way of anybody in the third lane no matter how fast you are going.

In most U.S. states, its convention to share the road. Some do it fear of vehicle behind may possess firearm, with cases of road rage years ago.

Some states do enforce it if they see vehicle typing up traffic.

Lancs, U.K. has the pre-green flashing light to warn drivers of upcoming green, I can't recall the sequence. I like at night, many intersection turns to flashing amber instead of red for cars to pass intersection with caution, reduce wasting fuel idle at traffic lights & those roundabouts. Much more civilized.
