[quote davester][quote kap]Someone did that to me one time and I slammed on the brake. Then immediately switched to the farthest right lane.
Now wait one gol darn minute. You "switched to the farthest right lane"?? What the heck were you doing in the passing lane with people coming up behind you (or perhaps I don't understand what you were doing)? Nobody should be blocking faster traffic in the left lane (and it is illegal in some states) unless passing a slower vehicle on the right. Unfortunately, this is not enforced much in the U.S. but it sure is in much of Europe.
davester, if I could lock the forum for a day to focus on one post, I would do it with your reply.
What makes driving in the US a pain, is many of the rules of the road are not enforced. Keeping right except to pass is one of the key elements to keeping traffic flowing smoothly.
