When i'm in my Car, why do you folk like to surround me. I'll be in the middle lane and somtimes trucks will come on both sides and scare the living crap outta me. The wind is totally different, blows me about, it worries me.

Why do you folk do that?

Drive in the right lane, they'll only pass on one side that way.

If you are getting passed on the RIGHT AND THE LEFT you are in the wrong lane of travel for your speed. Get in the right lane OR speed up.

YOU learned this in Driver's ED..didn't you?

Tell the truth; you box in Madcap because it is fun. It's the same reason you drift toward the shoulder a little when you see a hitchhiker. It's why when three of you are running side by side you'll mysteriously slow to 50 MPH at the same time. You guys are fun.

Because I will get a fine if I go one more lane to the left. Right lane is for slowpokes. Middle is for truckers with the hammer down. Far left lane is for 4 wheelers only!

Like everyone else has said, if you are getting passed on BOTH sides, then you need to slide into the granny lane (far right lane) and let us keep hammering along.

Fred, grow up.The days of gift wrapping a car are a thing of the past, I get no enjoyment out of having to pass in the far right lane. And as far as hitchhikers go, there is no enjoyment out of swerving to the shoulder when they're there. If something goes wrong and one of us accidentally clips that poor person, that certainly won't be fun.

Typical four-wheeler nonsense...

I have long called the middle lane of a six lane road the chicken lane. It seems that people feel safer there and in our left lane restricted world, the chicken lane becomes our hammer lane, I have seen more rear end type accidents in the center lane than in the right.

Eventually, the person driving in the center lane decides they need to exit, and they can't, so then they stop. This even happens to truckers, hard as that is to believe.

One night I was driving up through Chicago on 94 following another truck in the center lane when the truck I was following did a quick lane change right at an exit to the left. A Stevens truck had missed the exit and stopped dead in his tracks, I had cars to the left and right and had to also stop, luckily we had slowed somewhat so it was possible for me to stop with only a few empty pallets on the box.

I love driving in WI or IA where there is no left lane restriction.
