They have signs like that (Stay in this lane except to pass) on US95 as you get further south. Only two lanes for most of NC through GA and it's rare that I've had issues with people going too slow in the left lane. Unlike up here where people go 62MPH in the left lane of a 3-lane highway.

How about if your doing 70 m.p.h. on route 25 north at the beginning of 495 in the outside or passing lane to get around and by traffic going onto the ramp to 495, and this chick in a suburban comes onto your ass about a foot away from your bumper. You look in your mirror and she is looking down at her cell phone probably texting her friend some #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& is in my way keeping me from picking you up sooner.

My 70 m.p.h. speed couldn't have been too bad because after I put my blinker on and she went by I slowed down to 65 m.p.h. and barely overtook me. She just didn't like me being in front of her.

Yield, the word, in relation to driving a motor vehicle doesn't exist anymore.

Some folks can't stand the idea of someone else ahead of them, the just have to take the lead. I like the andrettis who pass everything in sight then slow dow when the road ahead is devoid of another vehicle. I really think that they don't want the responsibility of looking for the police alone..

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.
