Honest question, why would she choose the left lane?
One of the behaviors I see that's quite common, but I can't wrap my head around why, is people who enter the freeway and make a very deliberate and hasty transition to the left lane. Why is that? My hunch is they feel like they don't have to pay as much attention to the road, and can forego having to worry about the traffic transitions from cars merging at the ramps. What's worse, is many who love to camp the left lane also lack the courtesy for drivers around them, and won't move over when a car approaches from behind.
I won't defend left-lane camping. I don't do it and don't like it when other people do.

I skipped 10 pages. Dunno WTF that guy's smoking "half the drivers don't drive the speed limit" - implying they're going slow? I encounter the occasional slow poke, but it seems everywhere else I've been in this wonderful state, 10 over the limit is average, and if you're doing the speed limit you better be in something safe, because you might be getting run over. Only people consistently driving anywhere near the speed limit on most roads are old people and Prius drivers. Old folks get a pass, they earned it for surviving so long, there's no excuse to drive a Prius. Ever.
That sucks. Seriously.Some of us also have company vehicles with GPS that sends out alerts to half the damn company if you go too fast.
Agree.I drive the speed limit most of the time in town or no more than five over depending on the traffic. Works well in the small towns of Kerrville, Fredericksburg, Harper, Ingram, etc.
Never speed in neighborhoods. Kids don't pay attention to traffic and they can be out in front of you before you know it.I drive the speed limit most of the time in town or no more than five over depending on the traffic.

Oh yeah!!!Elementary school PTO Moms are something else
On the flip side, our Texas back roads are in better shape than the interstate in Louisiana. I20 is a ball joint killer. A good suspension shop could make a killing in that area.
Yeah my mom always told me to go play on the interstate!Never speed in neighborhoods. Kids don't pay attention to traffic and they can be out in front of you before you know it.
Has the OP reached LA yet? Any updates?
I thought the speed limit applied to all the lanes.I'm just wondering if all these offensive commentors are actually the people who are going slower than the speed limit in the speed lane. I see it all the time.
I don't mean to be offensive to anyone. It's what I observe. It's like me seeing people driving off the freeway onto the frontage roads when traffic backs up and somebody complains that you need to have an SUV or truck to be able to do that.
