Default Why do people in Florida think the passing lane is for going 5-20MPH under the speed.

I deal with it every day and i don't understand it why the hell do people here think driving in the passing lane doing 5-20MPH UNDER the speed limit is alright and they won't speed up at all its fucking annoying as shit. If you want to put put along then PLEASE KINDLY GET THE FUCK OVER!!!!!

Sounds like ottawa. People merge 20 under the limit as well. What i do when I follow them is leave the truck in third and when I get the chance, i put them in my rearview mirror as quickly as I can while still respecting the speed limit.

I've noticed this too. Florida driver's just plain suck at driving.

During my stay, we pretty much all passed speed limits.


Well until there were blowouts and then loss of control, then people slowed down or just stopped on the highway on all lanes (it was epic!!).



Floridians need to quit driving on bald tires over that shitty stuff you call roads!

I was thinking today on my way into work that there should be a law that keeps elderly male drivers off the streets until after 9AM.
I swear at every turn I ended up behind one driving 5 under the speed limit. Which I know is perfectly legal, but is inconsiderate of those of us with places to go and people to see. TODAY YET!
