Ever found yourself saying these thing to the person in front of you while driving down a multi-lane highway?
I have, nearly everyday! I don't get it. Why do people insist on sitting in the left lane, while travelling slower then the center lane? (thinking of our wonderful 417)
Now I am all for following the laws and do not in anyway feel that people should be allowed to intimidate others to go faster, especially on dangerous single lane highways like #7. But seriously, if you can barely manage to reach the speed limit (and have failed to figure out how to use the cruise control function in your car) Please, PLEASE, move over.
And while on this topic... stop tailgating! Doesn't anyone understand that tailgating leads to slower moving traffic? It impedes people try to get on and off the highway which reduces the overall traffic flow. IT also leads to much more stop and go because when you are going 100Km/h and you see the brake lights in front of you, you will apply the brakes relatively hard to ensure you don't end up in the trunk of the car in front of you... this has effect ripples back from you and slows all traffic down (and often leads to accidents)
3 seconds people! leave 3 second between you and the car in front of you and if everyone did that we would all get home sooner!
