I bet you block the aisles in supermarkets with your cart too, don't you?

You bet wrong

Guys its obvious this is a Troll. Feeding him will just keep him going at it.

Have you talked to your therapist about the grandmas in the left lane yet ? I am worried about your blood pressure.

Can't I have some fun with him before he gets bounced?

Speed kills huh?

Welp, we better ban vehicles with more than 3 cylinders. Limit cars to 100 HP and require speed limiters of no more than 25 mph on city streets and 55 mph on the highway. Who needs a car with 400hp after all?

Gee what does that sound like?

Well ok, it is funny as hell to watch I have to admit. I am often told I have an "off"sense of humor though.

@ma96782 is very much NOT a troll. I've met him a few times and he is a good guy. I happen to think he is as wrong as a soup sandwich on this topic, but definitely not a troll.

You are forgiven.

For NOT reading previous posts. Note : Post #20

No.....I'm NOT......"Holier Than Thou".

Truth is......I do speed sometimes. LOL.

He trolls some, but we're talking about the new guy. Same pattern, probably been here before under a different name.

I always drive the speed limit, plus a few. I mean, 100 in a 70 is a few right?

Quite a few!

I have numerous traffic pet peeves greater than people speeding in the left lane (fast lane)...
I regularly watch semi-trucks drive not only in the left lane, but a lane farther left, the carpool lane in attempting to drive thru downtown Seattle or Bellevue as quickly as possible. Them being there backs up many people behind them who want to go faster than the semi...
The issue of drivers going thru intersections after the light has changed from green to red is more prevalent than before. They don't want to stop and wait for the traffic signal to again turn green and they are willing to risk going thru the intersection at a high rate of speed during a red-light..
It is good to have a dash camera so you don't find yourself in a situation where the police are being told alternative versions of what caused an accident.

Can't believe this is even a debate here. Intentionally driving in the left lane so others can't pass (because you're going the speed limit) is textbook Karen behavior.

It is only a "debate" because the people doing this want to be able to tell others how to live. Some of them want this so badly they will make every excuse under the sun to try to justify this. This is FAR from just while driving. The kind of mentality that does this, does it in any part of life where they think they can get away with it.

Public roads are a shared resource intended for safe use by everyone. While I do not advocate that anyone other than cops "polices" the road, I do encourage people to follow the rules and ignore unreasonable demands from the individuals like you. Feel free to drive whichever way you like in your private driveway, but your behavior on the public roads directly affects everyone else on the same road, potentially putting them in danger. So at the very least be prepared to receive the criticism, because it's not really an example of "nobody's business..

I agree public roads are a shared resource. Thats why all 50 states have rules for left lane campers. In Washington State the fine is $136. In Texas it is $200. The fines are different for each State but the rules are pretty much the same ie: no camping. You can search "Ask a Trooper" Left lane driving 11 May 2016 and it mentions that in 2015 in Wa 14,000 tickets were issued for left lane camping @$136.00. Another search is Mattihiesen, Wickert & Lehrer, SC for a good reference to the nationwide rules of no camping in the left lane.

RCW 46,61.100, RCW 46.661.425, RCW 46.61.120, RCW 46.20.095, RCW46.82.430, & RCW 47.36.200 are interesting and on the subject driving rules. These are rules for driving in the State of Washington and should be observed by all drivers to make driving a smoother safer experience. YMMV

I just want to say thank you for not driving 62-64 mph while camped out in the left lane. God bless you for keeping to the right.

I have no reason to say you're not better informed about the regulations in Washington. Your claim regarding the 50 states is outright false, unless at least you can demonstrate the existence of similar regulations in Oregon, which I have elaborated on earlier in this thread.

On top of that "camping" is an arbitrary definition created by the mentally unstable individuals as demonstrated in this thread. If you want to be taken seriously, please stick to the legal definitions and exact technical terms.

I know you've been the target of some harsh criticism in this thread, but that's just ridiculous, no matter how angry you are.

I saw no criticism. There was the classic rhetoric of the individuals who don't believe their actions in public are subject to regulation as they don't see how such actions carry risk to other parties. Now how did you figure I am angry ? I am not the one admitting here that superficial stuff drives my blood pressure up. I am simply demonstrating that there is a lack of consistency for people here between the two high risk activities - use of firearms and driving on public roads. Nobody here advocates for reckless behavior with firearms, or breaking firearms regulations, no matter how small. Yet there is a clear advocacy for reckless behavior on public roads while using the tools that are equally or potentially more dangerous, posing a threat to property, health or life when misused.
