It’s supposed to be the passing lane; not the fast lane. That’s the problem. Speed is relative and the common nomenclature for the left lane has been “the fast lane” for a long time now. I can’t stand left lane campers and will go around them if it’s safe to do so but I still don’t camp the left lane myself no matter how fast I think I’m traveling.

Honestly, the worse thing to me is that lazy/incompetent/distracted people blast into the left lane immediately after entering the highway just so they can zone out while they’re operating their oversized vehicles.
Why more people aren’t alarmed at how unaware of their surroundings these campers are boggles my little mind. It’s incredibly selfish and unsafe. Just pay attention to the road for the 20 minutes you’re (not you specifically) driving. Sheesh.

Please consider this, OP. Your commute can make or break your day if you have to use main roads or highways. 95 is constantly a mess. 84 slightly less so. 91 is still hanging in there but the volume of people is becoming more of a problem each day.

You see, our residents can’t get their nose out of their phone for more than 2 seconds at a time and even if they could they forgot that the sun exists low in the horizon at times so we must all come to a complete stop every time the highway turns towards the sunlight. You know, cause you can’t see it coming and there is no such thing as a visor or pair of sunglasses.

Derp.

From what I read, he had been on parole and violated it so he finished his initial sentence. He was on the hook for more charges but it was caught up in court which is why he was out on bail with an ankle monitor. Sadly, this could have been prevented if our legal system wasn’t so clogged with frivolous lawsuits from bored inmates wanting an extra mattress or brand name Lubriderm because of reasons.
