Types of drivers that ruin the left lane....
Seems about right!

Theres also the groupies. They want to go a little faster than the guy holding up the line, but wont get out of the way for anyone behind them even if that person wants to go faster than everyone combined.

My nemesis is the "pacer". It is a modified "Tease". They will move along at a reasonable speed in the left lane so long as there is no one in the right lane. When they come upon someone in the right lane they will slow down and match their speed plus .0000000001 mph. They crawl by the person in the right lane until they (eventually) pass them at which time they will accelerate back up to reasonable speed to the next car in the right lane. You are never afforded an opportunity to pass and they feel they are still in the "right" as they are actually "passing". Albeit glaciers move faster than them during said pass.

I like the people that will ride your ass in the left lane, even if you're going 10 over the limit. Then when you shift right to let them pass, they slow down because they don't want to be the fastest on the road, afraid that they'll get pulled over.
So they merge right behind you and continue to ride your ass.

Lol!! Good to know I am not the only frustrated driver out there. It is truly a shame to have all those ponies under the hood, but no room to let them play.

In Europe, nobody drives in the left lane. It's great...wish they did it here.

Guys - there are ways of dealing with these people if you are brazen enough.
My favorite maneuver is "The Moses". It involves using strobe lights.

Well if you are brazen enough, stick one of these on your dash. It has an amazing effect in clearing the left lane.

I knew a guy that outfitted his WRX with wing mirror and grill strobes. He got busted the first time he ever turned them on while driving. I could see getting away with it if you were in a US made car, but with my luck, I'd get called in for sure!! I've not seen too many bimmers with e-lights in the states!

I like to think of myself as a courteous driver, though. I've actually gotten head nods or thumbs ups for moving over, before they get up to me, for a car coming up behind me that's going faster than me. Simple concept....yet grasped by so few.

Every damn day, except i'd add a new category for car enthusiasts driving on California highways.
"THE FAST&FURIOUS- This 1994 Integra driver with fart can exhaust, cut springs, yellow fogs & HID lights on during the day, and stickers stacked across the rear window, will chill in the right lane at a reasonable speed until he sees a 'challenger' in the left lane approaching. As you approach from the left lane, getting closer to the Integra, the driver of the Integra drops 3 gears suddenly and accelerates just enough to cut you off. While continuing to haul ass on the left lane you finally see the ricer-blinkers from afar & the Integra proceeds to cut off about 5 more cars before abruptly making his way to the freeway exit."
