WA Drivers I know it does not pretain to people on here so much but please tell your freinds and family that the left lane on the freeway is for PASSING. 99% of the traffic problems are self inflicked by the (non) drivers just being their obliviouse selves. The amount of STUPID out here on this coast is just staggering.
How do you know your driving on the west coast?
- there are 2 slow lanes, the outside ones.
- Instead of a DMV you go to the grocery store and buy a box of crackerjacks to see if you get a drivers licence
- MORE TO COME

I have been here since 95, everyone who lives here blames it on everyone from out of state. No offense to the Washingtonites, but you are full of ****. Seems to me 90% of the rest of the country has no problem with that concept. Drivers are the only thing I hate about Washington, well that and inconsiderate people.
My wife and her family all do it and they were born and raised in Washington. My wife has stopped, she never realized she was an offender until I kept mentioning it. She learned from her driving instructor.
Ok done bitching.

I've lived in Washington all my life, the LEFT lanes are the self appointed SLOW lanes. The RIGHT lanes and shoulder are for passing ONLY.

What gets me is the people that do the speed limit(or less) in the HOV lane. Ok, Busses I can understand, they have priority and are electronically limited. It's the cars that think just cause they have 2 people in them they can get in the lane and drive slower than the rest of traffic.
I'm curious, when you are in the "fast" lane, how fast do you usually cruise? Personally, I set the cruise at 9mph over the posted limit (99.9% of the time you won't be bothered by cops unless you pass that magic 10+ over) and get over as far left as I need to maintain that speed. I then get back over to the right as traffic clears.

Word, I don't cruise the Left lane. Although I could. I am 99% of the time going faster than anyone else. When I have to pass with Harvy the RV, you know there is a problem, If you are going 50 in a 60 on major highway...GET THE F*CK OFF and use the side roads.
Oh man I am getting all spun up!

The carpool lane is my passing lane.

You guys crack me up! 
People need to stay off their cell phones when driving..period! Ellis...
I hate when people are Slug Racing, as I call it. When they are all going the same speed (slow) in all lanes, blocking up everything. That just drives me insane! Pokey, Pokey, Pokey...as in slow-pokey
I also hate when someone is going slow, so I pass them. Then I guess they realize it's a girl and they don't want a girl to pass them, so they speed up and try to get back in front of me... of course I don't let them pass me again, But it happens to me ALL the time. Stupid People Suck!
Oh and I've noticed that Volvo's and Suburu's are the worst at the slug racing.
And if the Semi's would stay in the slow lane where they belong, then the slower people would tend to stay out of the fast lane...hopefully anyway
and I was born and raised here in Washington...
Ok, My rant is over...Next....

You should see how the semis are in Arizona... those bastards will pull a lane change RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU just to putt by another truck at like .0001 mph faster than them. I dunno how many times I had to jam the brakes because of one of them on the road between Albuquerque and Vegas.
