Driving to town yesterday afternoon on the H-1 freeway (yep, we have freeways on Oahu), in the far left lane (aka fast lane) of six lanes. The speed limit is 55, but cops won't tag you if you're under 70. So, I'm trucking along at about 68 when this dipshit in the adjacent lane decides she going to pass a slightly slower vehicle (looked like a tour van). No biggie at first, but then the beyatch decided that staying directly to the van's left and mirroring its speed (about 60) for the next few miles would be a good thing. Apparently her speed-matching skills needed work because eventually she edged just far enough ahead of the van to where I could blow around her. Sure enough, when I did and got back into the fast lane, in the rear-view I saw this dumb twat doing a slow, exaggerated seal-clap, like "Well, good for you". So, I just flipped the twat off as I went on my merry 70 MPH way...and watched as two other cars blew around her dumb ass. Hawaii has a lot going for it, but seriously it has some of the fucking dumbest drivers on the planet. I guess being raised isolated on a 600 sq mil island attenuates the mental development of some people...

I was drving through Yellow Springs the other day. I was either going to, or coming from, Young's, Ha Ha Pizza or Peaches, I'm not sure because I'm pretty old. Anyway, I came up on this four way stop and some asshole who was just sitting there turned left right in front of me. Four way stop signs are confusing so I was going to drive right on through. This guy had to have noticed me coming and I had no turn signal on and yet he insisted on turning in front of me. I gave him the finger because he had his family with him or I would have stopped and shown him what a broken hip feels like.

I freaking hate this. A lot of states don't get this, don't know about Hawaii.

In most places, the left lane is a passing lane. That is all. Also, all of Europe and South America.

Sometimes, with traffic in Ohio on say I-71, it is unavoidable to stay in the lane with trucks and stuff. But if you can get back to the right, you do. Traffic engineering has even showed this is best.

To be clear for Ohioans: it is not a "fast lane," it is a "passing lane." Not sure if that is true in Ohio actually, but it should be. Lots of places have signs saying "use left lane only for passing."

Ever drive in tsun? Draw a line between AA and EL and anything north of that is pretty much some of the dumbest drivers I've ever dealt with.
