I think some part of it has to do with bragging rights. If you slow down for them to pass you they can say (at least in their small minds) ..."Yup, I passed a Corvette today, so I'm the man!"
Went to Road America on Sunday and had a cop ahead of me all thru Milwaukee. Amusing to see guys all pumped about blasting past a Vette then having to almost lock up!

Reason: Typo
Personally, I never sit in the left lane. I am either passing someone, or moving over to let others pass me or get in the proper lane. The rules are, drive right, pass left...

You two are in the minority unfortunately. There's a LOT of left lane bandits on the road. Was simply curious.
I call them left lane zombies, beause they just poke along in stupor while holding up traffic...
Yep, really frustrating. But something I've been noticing on a lot of the interstates, is that the left lanes seem to have smoother pavement. The right lanes around our parts are riddled with potholes and rough patches. Maybe some of the folks are fed up with that and simply searching for a smoother ride? Not condoning the practice, mine you, by any stretch of the imagination. Just offering a possible explanation.

In California we have the worst drivers, many having no drivers license and/or insurance. Our state decided it was a good idea to give illegals drivers licenses and now they are finally figuring out that the majority of them have no insurance. I'm amazed how people will pass me on the freeway to take the next exit to save them maybe 1 second of time while speeding and risking everyone's lives. We have the most impatient drivers I have ever seen! I also have a problem with people tailgating me and it is worse in my Z06.
So many Moron drivers here who shouldn't be on the road. This is why car insurance is so high here because of all of the accidents. Texting and driving and cell phone use is out of control and the high fines don't make any difference. Don't even get me started on the idiot motorcycle drivers. Unfortunately we have lots of fatalities from them.
