Here is my take on the: really!
I've studied motor vehicle accidents for a living, one of the contributing factors in MVA's are what we call difference of speed!
You have a guy on the Interstate going 65mph in a 70mph speed limit, lets say he is in the fast lane.
then we have the guy going 75mph in the fast lane and hits the guys going 65.
Both drivers are at fault in this accident.
Lets say the first driver is going 65mph in the fast lane, or in my business we call this lane 3, all other traffic is passing him in lane 2. and lane 1.
A driver behind the driver in lane 3. is driving to what is called driving to the conditions, and hits the slower driver, the slower driver hits other cars causing injury to the others, Ambulance chaser Lawyers will eat this guy for lunch, reason? not driving to the conditions of the highway!
Silly but true!

 

If you're a left lane ****, I'm the dude in your rear view mirror crawling up your azz. Move the f*ck over! OTOH, I'll even slow down to get over for ANY car coming up on me. Either he's crazier than me or a cop...

 

Like I've always said, groups of motorcycles ain't no better than blue hairs in RV's when it comes to hogging the road!
Rude,inconsiderate people are every where!

 

I'm very familiar with that stretch of road. If it wasn't the HOGS hogging the road, it would have been a caravan of semis, old ladys and/or other "I don't give a crap about anyone but me" types. Hawgnuttz, thanks for being the traffic vigilante since Barney Fife retired.

 

To the guys who posted that they "always" ride/drive in the left lane.... sorry but you're an idiot. Ask any experienced LEO and he'll tell you, you are 3x more likely to get a speeding ticket in the left lane. Stay in the right lane. Go as fast as you like... pass on the left and get back in the right lane. I learned this from a state cop buddy about 15 years ago and haven't gotten a ticket since. Oh, and I go 80+ about all the time on bike or car when I'm on the highway.

 

Exactly. If the group had been traveling in the right, the OP would probably be complaining that a trail of bikes blocked drivers from merging from the on-ramp. You can't please everyone but it just seems as though the safest place for the group would be the left lane - middle if you've got one.

 

Man it's like that every where.The latest hurray for me and F_ _ _ everybody else!The norm around here is the passing lane is now the right lane.No Problem!!

 

Ride in any lane you want, including the oncoming lane if it happens to float your boat. However if your holding up traffic and not already in the right lane have some courtesy and move the hell over. Is really that big of a freaking deal. Its ******** like you that cause problems. Get a life

 

try that **** in la and you're gonna get a ticket. and it doesn't matter if the person is going faster than the speed limit, if you are impeding his movement, you are wrong.

 

I had a company car that tracked how fast you were going. Company policy is you can not go over 70 mph!! If you get caught twice in one week or 3 times in a month or 4 times in your career you are fired. Now that was stressful.
I averaged 1200 miles/week.
