MA state Law 89-4B, prohibits slow vehicles on left lane. These people need to understand that they are breaking the law and they are not the "LAW abiding citizens"
So imagine how frustrating is when you are in a semi truck and you are stuck behind someone like this for long time. I go thru this everyday all the time, i swear if you crash and die i wont even stop for you i wont even dial 9/11 I have no regard for people like that . Sorry.
That's Massachusetts for ya. I commute daily from NH down 93 to as far as Gloucester, and everyday there's always someone sitting in the passing lane for a good 10 miles every time.
They do the same thing in the Province of Ontario, makes you want to mount machine guns on the front of you car and fire. That'll give her a reason to brake.
@PHAEDRIDER He has a case no matter what the speed limit. If you can get into a lane to the right, you are an idiot for refusing to do so if traffic is closing in on you. Period. It's not anyone's job but the police to regulate the speed of the left lane--even if they are going 20-30mph over the limit. Refusing to let others pass is just another form of road rage.
A terrible driver you captured. God it is so tempting to just knock them out of the way but, only in NASCAR I guess. I liked your video so I added it to my "Left Lane Bandits" collection.
These people are the most oblivious people around. Its a sign that this lady is a very driver. PAY ATTENTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU WILL THANK ME WHEN YOU MISS THAT CLOSE CALL!!!!!!!!

It would take less time to drive around the van than to call the cops, report it blah blah....so many self righteous, selfish people on the road these days....its all about me me me huh?
The only thing worse than this is the MORON redneck in a HUGE suv/pickup (usually ford ram or escalade, going even slower refusing to move out of the way , thinking he owns the road. Folks like that should be locked up haha and their permits to drive taken away:)
I used to get mad. Now I call the police and report a car impeding traffic (or in this case, a careless driver as well). Sure, it takes 15 minutes out of my day because I have to pull over and give a testimony. I was also requested to appear witness for a case that resulted in a 1 year suspension (zing!) but it is SOOO worth it. My favorite is when this old fuck YELLED at the cop, saying how he hadn't been pulled over in 30 years. That was better than losing my virginity.

@fuckTNC420 Suspensions result from left lane blocketry? Hmmm. Interesting. I gotta check into that...would be nice to have that implemented (sorry if I misspelled) in Atlanta.
@MISTERDIPLOMATIC It wasn't that incident alone that made her lose her license for a year. She had prior traffic violations and was on a suspended license. I was there as a witness to the fact that she was not only driving but driving slow and erratically.
man, i know how you feel, im riding the pike everyday and this is one of these things i have to deal with, but i swear after i become a state trooper im going to be pulling so many people over, this person is clearly distracted, maybe a cellphone? best to just pass them... when they cause an accident you don't need to be the one injured or killed because of there hazardous driving. Drive safely ;)
Note: if you see someone swerving in and out continuously just Call 911 and report a possible DUI.
You need one of those "SLOWER TRAFFIC -->" decals.
I always wonder what's going through their minds when there's nothing in front of them, yet they still hit their brakes. It makes my head want to explode.
Passing on the right is never safe if the vehicle in front of you is larger. As you can see in 0:57, you can't tell if there is enough room on the right to pass. There could be a small car ahead-to-the right of the mini van. And if you let the minivan get ahead so that you can see if there's room on the right to pass,now you need more room to pass. Bottom line, the larger your vehicle the more considerate you need to be. I give semis a break though.
@rez886 When I was in Germany if you stayed in the left lane of the autobahn too long, people will pass on the right then cut back very close in front of you as a sign to move over.
You get these folk everywhere. Here in the UK undertaking is illegal and people just mindlessly hog the middle lane. I used to get really pissed off, but I've realised some people find motorway driving scary as hell, others are alcoholics or on medication, and they all go on the road!! If you tailgate them you'll just cause a phantom jam when you inevitably slam the anchors on, and you might even crash into them, so unfortunately you just have to take it and try to chill out.
As a young, aggressive man I used to tailgate these people. Usually the only result was a screen full of washer fluid, the more belligerent ones would apply a brake test, and on a couple of occasions I was, through a series of obscene hand gestures, invited to partake in fisticuffs at the nearest service station!
Rarely did I achieve the desired end point.
As age overtook me I accepted the driving foibles of others, stopped believing that my own driving was faultless, and chilled out...
Two undercover Policemen in two different cars pulled me over for Highbeaming on the left lane for miles.
Since in Fla isn't a law and I can cause the LLH to panic and crash. they were going somewhere else so the let me go with this verbal warning "Calm down", they won't move, it's just the way it is.
I'm a State Trooper and I HATE when I'm in my personal operating vehicle and drivers clog up the left lane driving slowly. So now I make it my goal to write EVERYONE I see driving below the speed limit in the left lane a $100 fine.
Lol, we're human too. The same thing that ticks you guys off ticks us off. I get tickets all the time too when I'm off duty. I drive a sports car and I tend to speed a lot.
What about people in the left lane who simply aren't passing anybody? Nothing chaps my ass like a pair of cars driving the same speed right next to each other and clogging things up behind them. They basically create rolling traffic jams, even when most people don't intend to drive like bats out of Hell.
You're too nice...I flash my high beams and if they don't move I floor it and race by, partially in their lane. It usually gets their attention and they move the hell over.
same thing happened to me on the mass pike today. we were in the left lane, and this guy was in front of me doing 65!!! I drove RIGHT up his ass, and he WOULD NOT MOVE!!!
Yes, that Audi passed, but he went right back over into the left lane. Since the right lane was clear, he didn't have to do it, at least not immediately after passing on the right. So, yes, may be a silver star... but not hero status.
honestly, punch it into 3rd and rock past that noob this happens all the time i dont videotape it and post it on youtube i slam it down 2 gears and pass the mother fucker in the right (also dont fully leave the lane drive like halfway in their lane so they shit themselves/drive in the shoulder)
i was getting pissed just watching this...i dont understand how people can make it to adulthood being this fucking stupid..I usually just throw on my HID high beams and they gtfo of the way..
Had a job which involved alot of driving, one time, frustrated after courtesy horn blip, wait, then quick light flash, wait , then longer horn, longer flash, etc etc etc etc 10 minutes later i just sat on horn with high beams. Nothing, i eventually passed and they looked at me like i was crazy. Well i was mad, but they stayed there as cars banked up behind them. I wouldnt do it again, you cant win with some, just avoid like the plague.
One of my moves is to move over just enough to see if there is a slow vehicle or another reason they cannot or will not move over. It works about 80% of the time.
the van is clueless for squatting in the left lane but you are just as bad for sitting behind them. There is plenty of room to pass so just do it. The van has no idea that there are other cars on the road so they will not move.
Law states you must move over for any driver flashing their lights how ever it's for emergency use only and doing so in any other situation can be deemed illegal
going 30mph on 35mph (no one drive under speed limit) ~ and running red light... and I'm stuck @ red light...
It always happen like that... casually running red light all the time and leaving traffic behind.. Good thing that non-of my friends drive like that.. well one.. and other than driving I can't deal with him too.
just want to thrown rock @ those drivers... put'em off the road...
So annoying. You were in the right. The idiot in the van should have moved over. This is probably the only time I'll agree with a Masshole :) After a while, though, you ought to just pass. What kind of accent does this driver have?
No, this was on I-291 right in Springfield, headed toward the Mass Turnpike. I hope you aren't asking because you drive the same mini van. In other words, I hope this wasn't you?

I've also noticed that what seems as heavy traffic IS NOT after one passes a team of left lane bandits.
Kansas City highways consist of clumps of drivers behind teams of left lane bandits.
