Bingo. Flow of traffic.

Those that aggressively pass or end up getting aggressively passed, are the problem and probably deserve all of the headlight flashes, middle fingers, and honks they receive

To work: GPS says 1 hour 10 minutes. Takes 50-55 minutes. So 15-20 minutes. Is it worth it, of course not.

From work: GPS says 35 minutes. Takes 35 minutes. Always nice driving home

For the most part yes. But there are those drivers in the fast lanes going under the speed limit. They are the ones I mostly see getting tailgated, middle fingered and honked at the most.

"Getting aggressively passed" covers that

These people suffer from main character syndrome. It's a symptom of their completely uninteresting and boring life. The only interaction or attention they're able to generate from others is by obstructing the flow of traffic. They claim it's safety or legality or some other delusional taek that doesn't involve the fact that they want everyone to conform to their 9ussified stance to keep traffic from flowing at a reasonable speed.

Think some states will ticket those doing that. I think to reduce the rage!

Marylanders at their finest. It's their god given right to drive in the left lane and never move.

Indiana is supposed to be one of those states... don't think I've ever seen it happen.

It happens most days of my commute. There's always some obese red hatter camping in the left lane running their jalopy right at or below the speed limit. I just give 'em the bird as I swing past 'em in the right lane.

Sadly you're probably right. We can thank NYC for that.

I suppose that if you only have to waddle over to the doublewide at the front of the trailer court, routing your way to work each day isn't necessary.

Those of us that commute more than 500 feet like to know if there's traffic that would make it smarter to take an alternate route than usual

No clue what is happening in my area. I see cars with one headlight, no headlights or no tail lights. Cops don’t seem to care.

You realize GPS gives you so much more data than just your route? Construction and accidents and how to get around them. Where the cops are.

Just have to get behind Blakeman and hope Mamdummy pisses off enough people down there to have them flip.
