It's great to be able to reply and make it sound like you meant something more in your original post, isn't it? 
As well, I don' think I mentioned farm equipment in my list, but great addition! |
On Saturday I saw a guy with a space-saver tire merging from Canyon Meadows Drive onto Deerfoot where he proceeded to go 70 km/h in the right lane. He was an absolute moron, but by your definition that was totally acceptable. There are probably a dozen places he could have gone to buy a new tire or have his repaired that didn't involve going onto Deerfoot, yet there he was.
Also, the majority of the time people have highway issues that result in them limping along in the right lane are their own fault (lack of car maintenance, poor planning, driving an unfit car, etc.). It's tough to have sympathy for those people when they make the road dangerous for everybody around them because of their neglignce.
Other times there are unavoidable circumstances that lead to a person driving slow in the right lane. Nobody has a problem with those guys - that's obvious.
With RVs, it is so lame of people to buy a giant trailer and pull it with their underpowered tow vehicle and then cruise around the mountains 30 km/h or less under the speed limit. If you can't keep up, get off the road. Why would you even defend some a-hole like that?
