Im sure itās an issue in other places too, but this video was filmed in the Austin area and itās a goddamn epidemic here.Without any commentary beside the map system talking, only thing I really noticed is how many people were driving slow in the left lane on that clip and getting passed on the right.....
I'm pretty sure there is an embargo on sharing driving characteristics. I've read that this is lifted this coming Monday so we should get some better information then. This video was a bit of a loop hole. They can film it driving but they are unable to share their thoughts at the moment.Cool to see but would've been better to actually hear his thoughts on the driving experience.
Itās everywhere. If Iām traveling with my wife, I usually drive, but when she does, she does it. I told her not to do it and how rude and also embarrassing it is to do so, and she totally doesnāt get it. She argued that youāre supposed to drive in the left lane. Of course, she also thinks you canāt call a Bronco a truck. I gave up arguing about it.Im sure itās an issue in other places too, but this video was filmed in the Austin area and itās a goddamn epidemic here.
People here are addicted to driving in the left hand lane, even if they are 5-10 under the speed limit!! Iām usually the fastest sumbitch on the road (nothing crazy, 5-10 over) and I very rarely drive in the left hand lane because Iām passing everyone on the right. (And donāt even get me started on the left lane campers anywhere on the I-35 corridor.) **rant over**
Everything I've always seen says stay in the right lane except when passing. I wonder where she got that from?Itās everywhere.

Its also a safety thing........I'll be out here in the remote areas with little traffic in my truck and if you're sitting in the left lane, maybe because you passed a semi, and don't get back over when you see some hot rod coming up behind you at 90mph plus, they will pass on your right and swerve back in front of you to emphasize the point.......it is unnerving for some drivers because you're not always expecting high speed passing on your right side........especially if they are lost in the scenery and weren't aware enough to move to the right in the first place when someone was coming up behind quick in the rear viewItās everywhere.

When Iām driving, she constantly gets onto me for driving in the right lane. I go 80 on interstates and use the left lane only for passing when I accelerate faster than that When Iām in the right lane and people pass going 90, she thinks Iām a shitty driver.
Iāve given up on āmansplainingā that you donāt have to be in a huge hurry and demand I speed over 80 to get to our destination if you (write it down, if necessary) plan better and leave earlier. In other words, donāt plan a trip departure time based on the best-case scenario ETA (light traffic, speeding); instead, leave at least a half hour or hour before that estimate. Instead, she leaves about an hour AFTER her determined already-cutting-it-close departure time, then demands we set up shop in the left lane going 90 and gets mad when the kids need to stop and piss during a 7-hour trip.
Iām an āassholeā for mansplaining that the results she gets every time wonāt happen next time if she changes her methods.
