You go girl! Anymore, I just pull up a seat in the gallery section and watch the action from afar. That's Mr. Chicken to you.

Years ago Richard Petty was behind someone doing that on I95 in NC. Gave him a tap and moved him out of the way. Just rubbin' man!

Atlanta drivers are particularly bad about this. It's funny in rush hour how driving in the right lane is typically considerably faster than competing with all the dummies jamming into the left lanes.

Ever drove in LA? Middle lane is not a safe haven here. Drivers can overtake you from BOTH sides of the road plus... you are allowed to talk and drive as long as you're using a hands-free!

No one is as bad as Ohio drivers in this regard. Actually the worst drivers in the world are in the U.S. and the worst of them are Ohioans. I dread driving through that state.

LA is crazy but they have a method to their madness...know and follow the etiquette and it will be OK (unless it's one of the three days it rains each year ).

Several other places I can think of the drivers are just plain stupid and oblivious...like SLC.

The drivers where you are from are the worst. Nobody knows how bad traffic can be until they've driven through your city.

Oh yikes, ya I'm that driver. Always looking at airplanes and picking my nose. In fact, it probably was me. I should be more careful.

The sad thing, it's not the first time I've been caught picking my nose when the driver next to me pulls over...
