Common courtesy: move over if you're not doing speed limit or following the flow of traffic.

Common courtesy, much like common sense - is not so common.

you know what I hate is when you are coming up to an intersection to make a right hand turn, and when you make the turn there is a white solid line because that far right lane is for the people making the turn while the other lanes to the left are the traffic which continue straight, and what I HATE is the people who STOP at the beginning of the turn waiting for traffic going straight to clear even though our lane is CLEAR SINCE IT'S OUR OWN LANE!

there is no stop sign! you are not supposed to stop!

the interesection next to the walmart in pleasanton actually has a sign that says not to stop, or something like that, and yet people still stop.

here it is http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=3...,0.004259&z=19
you can see on the right side that the turn has it's own lane

GRRRRRRR

You have to remember that we're not in Germany. The majority of people here don't know how to drive. Or, they feel that they own the road and won't yield, or move over for anyone. The guy in the that car was thinking, "F you! I can go as slow as I want. I'm a selfish, self centered son of a ***** and I'll do whatever I want. Especially if I'm getting in someone else's way.". Seriously, if you want to drive slow, use the right lane. If you want to drive faster, use the left lanes. How F'ing hard can it be? I have no problem going around, but I have to wonder if people are really that stupid/oblivious/inconsiderate to be there in the first place. Should someone like that really be driving in the first place? What's next, drifting into other lanes without signalling or looking because they're stupid/oblivious/inconsiderate?

Still it is hella annoying when some dumas is in the fast lane going too slow, just as when they speed in the slow lane and you are trying to merge onto the freeway Also there are signs everywhere that say Slow Traffic Keep Right ----> Whichs means if you are driving slower then the rest of the people behind you or even if there is hella room ahead of you then move to the mutter effing right lane/s!!!!!!!! It is just plain and simple, if the people behind you want to speed and get a ticket that is their business.

I gree there are way too many people in the US that do not know how to drive. 2 Left Lanes = Normal Driving Speeds of 65MPH and up whenever possible. I can see if he was trying to keep car or two in between his own for safety, but not by the looks of the pics. Anyways to each is their own, rant on all you want.

from the looks of those pics, you had a bad day and got all bent over nothing.

sure the guy had room but there was plenty of room behind him. it didn't look like some one was tailing him for him to move over. and the lane to his right (the lane you were in) had plenty of room to pass. and the car in your side mirror looks like the car right behind him, it didn't look like it was in hurry pass him either.
