173. Left Lane Idiots are very dangerous.......
... they cause legal, law abiding citizens to make illegal evasive moves to get around them. (which jepordizes us all)

All truck drivers and big vehicle operators are aware of the concept of "Continuous Lane of Travel".

In other words, once you have 60,000 lbs of cargo up to speed and moving at 60 MPH, the LAST thing you want to do is change lanes or make fast moves to avoid some dick-head in a Ford Pinto who is parked in the left lane going 50 mph. (Exit ahead or no exit.. that's not the issue). Remember, these big trucks are loaded and they are on their way to market to benefit YOU! They are on a tight schedule and busting their ass to keep your food stores stocked.

When you get in the way and block the left lane in order to make a statement, you are soiling your own nest.
