Actually I       thought the American drivers relatively disciplined, driving without much       panache but less courtesy than you'll find in the UK.              This is probably the #1 cause of road rage --rightly so:              "left lane is for passing only, as how it should be and was how i was taught.       passing on the right is more dangerous, not to mention extremely annoying.       it's the one rule of the road that i think should be strictly enforced."              https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JA2Dj-yy6oE              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
