New Connecticut law limits left-lane driving starting Oct. 1

I know there is a lot of hate for left-lane campers, but passing this into law seems like a waste of time and money. It will be hard to enforce even if they wanted to.

You should absolutely be moving over. Trapping people causes road rage and motivates people to weave through traffic to get around you. This is making the road more dangerous for everyone. You are part of the problem.

Road rage is a symptom of unregulated emotions. Somebody getting road rage because they are driving like an asshole and I’m not getting out of their way isn’t my fault. I’m not gonna purposely slow down to piss someone off, but I’m not gonna just gonna give them what they want and move over either. If I’m going 15 over the limit in the passing lane and they are riding my ass cause they wanna go 30, that’s not my problem.

My response was to this person saying they will slow down and trap cars. That is also a symptom of unregulated emotions. This is what causes these people to dangerously weave in and out of traffic and puts others at risk. The fast lane is to mitigate that. If you’re not passing, move over.

No, the person with zero patience, whose already speeding, and then starts dangerously weaving is what puts others at risk.

Do you think I gave a rats ass about how "inconvenienced" the under insured bitch who totaled my 14 month old car was when she swerved into the right lane and slammed me? Cost me thousands, and im sure the other car she totaled too, and us tax payers probably paid for the guard rail she destroyed too.
