Oh hell - I thought this was referencing the pic about the guy with no left
mirror. It takes a bit of a while to download a picture, so I didn't.

OK, there's 2 guys in the left lane. I'd have passed 'em on the right in a
heartbeat,without much thinking about it. That is the normal configuration of
traffic most places I drive - people get on the road and get in the left lane,
no matter what. Am I gonna get upset about it? Noooo... I'm just gonna pass
their ass!

Where I drive there is semi next to them and other traffic around
preventing people from easily passing LLBs.

Your method of driving doesn't scale.

In most places that's the rule rather than the exception;LLBs blocking
passing.

Not enough, I'm certain, if the "victims" are idiots like you.

Seems to work around Indy, as there is obviously a way clear to pass these guys
in the center lane, without any problem.
