100 things that piss me off: 3. People who drive in the passing lane

I don’t know why it is, but it seems that every time I’m driving somewhere there are three conditions that The Powers That Be insist on being met:
- No matter how fast (or slow) I’m driving, the guy in front of me must drive 5 MPH slower.
- No Matter how fast (or slow) I’m driving, the guy behind me must drive 5 MPH faster.
- Any time there is a passing lane, there must be somebody in it, just in front of me, matching speed with the person I’d desperately love to pass
I don’t know if most people don’t know this or if they just don’t care, but the reason they call it a passing lane is because it is there so you have room to pass the person who is driving at a snail’s pace in front of you. There are actually places on earth where driving for miles and miles in the passing lane will get you a citation.
I sincerely wish the police at this end of the internet would enforce such a law.

Ha-Ha, my wife and I had a good laugh! No matter when you are drving this always…always happens…very true!
I’ve thought for years that we could reduce the number of numnuts on the road by making everyone take the driving test every 5 to 10 years. And make them take the test every other year until age 25 and every year after 75. After all a big percentage of fatal car accidents are caused by younger drivers or drunk ones. It makes sense the old times should be tested. When you can’t walk without a walker you probably would not pass a reaction time part of a driving test…
