Pet Peeve #1: Why Do Some Drivers Hog the Left Lane?

1, Passive aggression - the SPEED limit is 65. I am going to make sure NO ONE exceeds it, even to pass a truck quickly on a hill or to enable drivers who have to get into the right lane to exit to do so. I am GOD. The three-mile long line of cars behind me PROVES IT!

2. Fearful - The left lane is SO secure. I do not have to slow down for merging traffic from thruway entrances or rest stop exits. I will even pull in FRONT of a car going at a faster speed to reach my left lane safety haven. I also tend to hover in a truck's blind spot for long minutes before I get up the courage to pass it.

3. Lazy - I just hang here in the left lane, set my cruise control and communicate with the cosmos (until I near my exit).

4. Stupid - What's wrong with traveling in the passing lane? I'm not hurting anyone except those crazy, volatile road rage guys in the SUVs and the occasional semi on a schedule.

5. Poorly trained - What's the problem?
