  I've think that multi-lane highways are easier to deal with if
  everyone stays right to drive and only uses the left lane when
  overtaking.  Isn't that the standard practice in Germany? (Obligatory

  If I'm driving on a rough freeway, there are times when I have moved
  into the left lane because it's smoother, but I try to move back to
  the right when people come up behind me.  Comments?

  I couldn't agree more. Any asshole that daydreams in the left lane and
doesn't merge right after passing can kiss my ass.
  1. LEFT LANE IS FOR PASSING ONLY!
  2. SLOWER TRAFFIC STAY RIGHT!
  3. PASSING TO THE RIGHT IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED!
  4. AFTER PASSING MERGE RIGHT!
  Now only if everyone would follow these basic rules, we wouldn't have
accidents, or at least a lot less. We would have a safe, disseplend highways.
Have you ever watched the stupid ediot on an empty freeway daydreaming in the
left lane with nobody in front of him for miles, absolutely refusing to merge
right. Or the person in the left lane is driving exactly the same speed as
the guy next to him, so traffic is back up for miles. These people deserve
big tickets for breaking the 4 main rules, they do in
Germany!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  See ya, Michael
