    Don't have a pic of the sign but I always refer to the "slower traffic keep right " regulatory sign. Yes those white rectangles are not suggestions, they are regulations.

    That's quite a dip in acceptance rate. A couple years ago it was just over 50%. Those numbers put it around 40%.

    I'm going to make one point about the usage of express lanes then I'm done with it. I question if many people have really observed traffic in certain urban situations, Atlanta's downtown connector being a prime example. Of course if the open road is uncongested it makes sense to use it only for passing if there are at least 3 lanes in the direction you're travelling. Even then in practice faster traffic often travels at such high speeds in the far left lane it makes it dangerous for everybody else though. Policing has long ignored overly aggressive driving in favor of the more cut and dry speeding tickets, and it has cost many lives.

    This is current Saban. (I isolated the gif to a special depository on my hard drive.) In case there is any doubt.

    Is it just me or does that make Coach Pruitt look like Thanos ?

    Thanks Jeff to you and everyone who has reached out . My brother is home and has even been cleared to drive short distances. Long term outlook is good so far but after his radiation treatments are completed we will know more. Again thanks the kind words and support was very helpful .

    About the driving thing, I’ve learned that it never fails that as soon as I do the right thing and move over to let these “faster” moving cars pass some idiot ends up driving beside me and boxing me in making me break my cruise control witch really grinds my gears.

    I learned that it you don’t have continuous exhaust in the hotel restroom then code requires an increase in CFMs being brought into the building

    Dawgsince76. The idea many have that the person driving fastest should be deferred to is nonsense. If you've driven on open interstate in fairly heavy but not bottlenecked traffic you understand the pain in the ass jerk who insist on driving 85 even when there is an implied agreement among most drivers in that lane to drive 75 or 80 mph. The jerk butt stain always has to act like the dominant driver and tailgate to try to intimidate others to either match his speed or get out of the way. If I was ever going to go full road rage it would be on a **** like that.

    In a civilized society it would be very easy, faster and safer on the open road. If you have 4 lanes of eastbound traffic the far right lane might be traveling 55, match it or move left 1 lane. The 2nd lane from the right might be traveling 65, match it or move left or right depending on how fast you want to go. The nest lane left in going 75, match it or move left or right. If you move left you're in the far left, whatever the flow is in that lane either match it while leaving a safe distance between yourself and the vehicle in front of you or move right. NEVER try to bully the driver in front of you by riding his or her bumper. In a just society law enforcement would execute overly aggressive drivers on the side of the road. I guarantee you the problem would be solved quickly.
