LMAO... had someone do that to me a few minutes ago on the belt parkway... Weird... I wonder what they were thinking... The first thing they did was cut me off which made me brake and cut my speed from 60 to 40 and then I had to follow them for about 2 miles because cars were flying past me.

Worse than someone going slow in the left lane is someone going slow in the left lane and pacing the car along side them for miles.

This is one thing that I detest!! Obviously for me though in the UK it's the right lane lurkers!!
However, in the UK, people aren't too bad for this. However, whenever I'm in the States, I notice that people are terrible for it! I admit, that this is Florida I'm talking about! I am there quite often as I have a holiday place there, and also my parents live there too, and whenever I'm driving out on I-4 or the Turnpike, there are SOOOOOOOOO many guys sat in the left lane doing 65mph, which is almost always 1 or 2mph faster or slower than the car they are over taking!! I really do think that the Floridian drivers are pretty damn bad! I have my Florida Drivers License, and therefore I know the handbook inside out as I studied it very carefully before doing my test and theory. And I know for a fact, that it strongly focusses on "hogging" the left lane! And even the white signs down the highways and Turnpike etc that say, "SLOWER TRAFFIC KEEP RIGHT" if I remember correctly, don't seem to affect these drivers!! ARGHHH!! SOOOOOOOOOOO frustrating!! Anyway! Rant over!!

The worse ones are those who change lanes in front you but seem to hold a good pace, then once in your lane they slow down, THEN keep pace with the car in the #2 lane.

If you ever went 40 they nailed you big time. they also had a MCY squad near Canarsie that patrolled. since the season was short they really enjoyed pulling cars over in good weather. In winter and bad weather they were in cars with MCY on the door, and as I recall they wore full leather at all times.

Its all the bloody time, whenever i drive into a city, its like people see the beemer, and get drawn in front of it! It must have some hidden "pulling" power! Its always old drivers and young girls who've just passed their test! Grrr! Its soooo annoyin!! ha
