I cannot figure out why this is so hard. If there are three lanes, there is a entrance/exit lane.. and TRAVEL lane and a PASSING lane.

"KEEP RIGHT EXCEPT TOO PASS" these signs are on most highways throughout the country and for those of you that can't understand the meaning or,just plain can't read it means stay in the right lane until you need to pass.The middle lane is not "the travel lane" it is,for the most part the trucks passing lane,since so many states now restrict us from the far left lane.If you are one of those that hang out in the middle lane for no reason or,you are scared of the guard rail monster or,falling off the world you are part of the problem not part of the solution.Use common sense and tie it together with common courtesy it won't cost anyone a dime.
As far as having to drive 75 to make a living you may need to think about your career choice,you're throwing tons of cash out the window at that speed.

Now that my memory is jogged....
They do have some 3-laners down there that have signs that tell you Trucks are prohibited in the left lane, and can only use the right 2 lanes. There are times...I've whipped out in the 3rd lane and put the hammer down...just to get around some slowpokes. But they have to be climbing a grade or really going slow for me to go for it. Much of the time though...I just relax and go with the flow. I seem to maintain better health, and honestly...that extra 5 mph....for me in the overall picture of my day...is nothing. I always seem to find open stretches for better than half of my day which easily lets me lay tracks. All said at the end of the day... I cross territory and Git 'R Done. I say don't grind your teeth or make an ulcer. That becomes a habit of behavior. I have to check myself up every now and then. |
