OK, I said most of this before...but I just can't stand it. The left lane is the passing lane. If you can move to the right without slowing down...do so. If there are cars behind you, and no cars in front of you, speed up or move to the right. If three cars in a row pass you on your right, take the hint, and either speed up, or move over to the right.
There are four problems that slow traffic down:
1) trucks - not much we can do here, but I am willing to consider limiting trucks to non-peak hours. Cars and trucks alike ignore dedicated truck lanes.
2) slow cars - I discussed them above
3) scared drivers & 4) stupid drivers - most accidents are not caused by fast drivers, aggressive drivers or confident drivers. The problem is the stupid and scared drivers. They screw things up for everyone and interfere with the natural flow of traffic. Apart from drunk drivers (who in my opinion qualify as stupid drivers) I gurantee you most accidents are caused by someone doing something stupid (changing lanes without looking for example) or slow drivers gettting in the away. I don't know what to do about 3 & 4, but we all know they are the biggest problem on the road.

crackhead -
how would you get the products delivered to all the companies daily? Make them all work nightshifts to get their materials?
Would trucks be allowed to drive on surface streets? what about interstate sleepere teams?
step away from the pipe.
Spoken like a true whore to the trucking industry.
I said non-peak hours, that means trucks could still use the freeways in the early mornings, mid afternoons, and late nights.
obviously you have never worked in the trucking business.
So businesses would have to open earlier to recieve goods and stay open late to ship....
then the freight would move slower interstate as they would have "shutdown" times due to driving restrictions.
45 in the left lane? Forty effing five?!?!
I was complaining about drivers going 70!
45?
Those idiots would be shot here in California! (and no I'm not kidding...we shoot at each other on the freeways here....)
