Idiots not keeping left!

[Ace_VP]

It is actually an offence for which an infringement can be issued, unfortunately not many highway officers issue tickets for it. Its one of those things that if a few people put along in the right or middle lane (when its a 3 lane highway) it can completely stuff the flow of traffic.

Education is needed and operations targetting drivers who break the rule need to be run. Autobahns in Germany flow well because the traffic is monitored and drivers are well educated. As a result they flow well, its a different story here, people just sit in what ever lane they want at what ever speed.

WTF! without even the luxury of a "passing lane" around here, and slow drivers being in plague proportion, i wish i had that problem of idiots not keeping left, cause if they done that here, there'd soon be a head on collision, and i bet they wouldn't like that.

Old people and truck drivers seem to be quite good at sitting in the right lane. They sit side by side of the vehicle in the left lane doing the same speed, very infuriating. This morning all the way up South Road for miles I had a truck in the right lane next to a coach in the left lane, both just sitting on 60 with a mile of traffic behind them.

A few weeks back a bus going up Cement Hill gets in the right lane to overtake a truck in the left lane but couldn't. Both did 50ks an hour all the way to the top in the 80 zone. When the bus finally pulled in at the top of the hill I got next to him and fully abused him, he knew what he had done and looked very sheepish.

Indeed, some buses do 30 - 40ks up cement hill, banks up traffic like a major crash scene.

What sucks is when say a bus in the left and a car in the right lane, both cruising at or under 60, the bus brakes and so does the car in the right lane? kinda same time for no reason.... which of course makes everyone else banked up behind them hit the anchors...

dont speed and it wont annoy you i highly doubt if somebody is in the right hand lane that they are ever doing 5 kms less than the speed limit.

its not about speeding, bit hard to speed when traffic is banked up and congested thanks to count 'em ONE driver holding everyone up 10 k's under the limit...

Cops seem to be present there a great deal lately, thats probably why they're both breaking.

Not really there, but anywhere... if a bus brakes in the left lane (for its own reason), the car in the right lane seems to feel the need to brake as well... hard to explain but i see it all the time..
