Lol. Good video. I too get a little pissy ( very pissy) when someone is holding up the left lane. Even though technically the left lane is for passing only I suppose.

It's typically a prius plugging the left while pacing the car on their right 10 below the limit! Hence the oblivious conservative creating mayhem on the far right whereby a 350 is forced to be "that guy" passing on the right! lol

Video is Spot on!

In SC, the passing lane is sadly the far right lane, as everyone thinks they're passing everyone else in the "fast lane" and thus leaving the slow lane empty. My state BADLY needs a "fast-lane-for-passing-only" law AND needs for it to be enforced!

Anyhow, back in topic!
