Man I wish there'd be a police campaign on this every once in awhile. As everyone here knows, left laners are one of my biggest pet peeves.
Sometimes you're just in a fast mood and you want to get to where you're going without any bullcrap along the way. When you've got a bluehair poking along in the left lane on deerfoot going 100, it's just aggravating. It's selfish and thoughtless to not look in your rearview to see if you're holding up traffic.
The whole attitude of "I'm not breaking any laws, so you can just stay behind me and kiss my ass" is so typically Calgarian. Why does this city have so many a-hole drivers?
On sunday, I was driving north on Crowchild over the Bow trail interchange. I know that the right lane eventually exits to Memorial, so I started my lane change well in advance. The pr1ck in the lane beside me accelerated when I signaled that I wanted in in front of him.
That's a quick way to tick me off, so I gave it a little boost and forced my way into the lane. Of course, the guy flips out and starts giving me the bird...
Seriously, who are these people that accelerate when you signal and why are they such dicks?
Same as the people that clog up the left lane and then accelerate when you slip into the middle lane to pass them. Like they think they're the police or something and that everyone should go their speed.
