I'm baffled. How you could possibly know they are doing that?

Its simple, right........
Driver Right
Pass left
In Michigan I didn't encounter the Left Lane Loitering so much but ..........
What's really sad is that I'm almost getting used to it out here in Tahoe. It seems that I need to get used to it or go crazy.
Another pet peeve of mine is shopping carts in parking lots. Seriously, how much time does it take to put your cart in a corral, or back at the store properly?
I'm betting it takes less time than taking a ding out of your door or touching up the paint.

Drivers who only ever look in their rearview mirrors when backing up. :lol:

I have to agree with you on the shopping cart thing, man that drives me nuts, and it is always my car that a wind driven cart finds, how can people be so lazy!!
In a certain town in CT, they can be pretty lazy. I was walking toward my car in the grocery store parking lot and saw a woman, who has just unloaded her groceries into her car parked next to mine, park her carriage directly behind my car (as in I would have to move it to get out of my spot). I thought maybe she was putting it there temporarily for some reason and then watched in amazement as she got into her car, preparing to leave. The freakin corral was on the other side of her car!! When I asked her if she was seriously going to leave the cart where she had parked it - in light of the corral being 10 feet in the other direction, she flipped me the bird, and drove away. Unbelievable!

Drove for almost 2 miles at 15 over the limit through Stamford this morning (amazing in itself, really).
In the center lane.
Passing consistent traffic in the left lane.
That was moving about 5 under the limit.
Seriously people, WTF?

Or east in the morning.
Given, but the evenings have had more offenders lately.

Saw another one today: your driver holding their ankle biter dog on their lap while they drive. F - that.

Today- people who pull into the left lane when they're going nowhere near, and have no hope of ever getting to, the speed of the left lane. It's awesome that you don't like the speed you were going, so you're going to make everyone travel at that speed.

I had to laugh - the other day driving on the Southern State (Long Island), 3 cars driving 55 in the left lane, no way to pass on the right (3 lanes) being all clogged up. Eventually some movement to the right of them, and took the opportunity to pass them on the right.
All 3 were MASS plates.

Saw a police cruiser this morning on rt. 3 driving in the rain without headlights on...I know it isn't the law in MA but if your wipers are on then your headlights should be as well.
Also had a person who was looking and drifting over into my lane on 128. Must have thought that a turn signal was a sign of weakness...

I can understand why they do that. I've seen quite a few drivers that react to seeing a turn signal by speeding up to prevent the person from changing lanes in front of them, or just ignoring it and blocking them out. Civility is so last century...

I know why but I don't agree, especially when they just start to wander over into me without checking first. Almost like they are saying "see me move, get out of my way".
Just plain rude.
For the record, I signal and look. If it's clear I will move over. If it's clear and someone is challenging me (speeding up) then I move over sharply and just cut them off.
One thing I've learned after decades of driving in the Boston area is that the local drivers may be aggressive but for the most part they don't want to get into an accident, and if challenged they won't ram you...
The speed traps near me are fairly evenly spaced between median / side

Never ever drive behind or near a Zipcar.

HA...of course the real reason is that one's hands will steer where your eyes are going!...so drivers shouldn't jump to conclusions other than those of driving the car...
Just go by the oldschool specs...don't signal and move over till you see their front bumper clearly in rearview mirror. I often think that with heavy traffic...lots of drivers end up pulling over short of where they should've given the driver behind you = selling it as an offensive move....more than as safe driving....y/n? Of course it's what's in the mind of the driver behind that interprets it as an offensive move...
