Damn Right I Pass On the Right

Ordrock · 08-22-2010, 08:20 PM

I swear to the good Lord that people are getting more stupid by the day. It must be all that Hope and Change crap in the water. Riding to Portland every Sunday, it's like the left (Passing) lane is a parking lot for Morons.
With their Latte and cell phone stuck to their face, they park in the fast lane while watching the DVD with the kids.
Not one sign from Medford to PDX telling the dipwads that the left lane is for passing. At least I didn't see one, it's kind of tough when the right lane is mostly made up of semi tractor trailers and RV's.
4.5 hours to ride 311 miles, last week it took 5.5 hours. I know bitch bitch bitch. I did see some other bikers, mostly Harleys doing 5MPH under the max posted speed limit.

God Bless them.

How about the minivans parking in the left lane, and once someone passes them on the right, they try to switch lanes, and cut you off when you're passing them.

This reminds me of an arguement we had online about two years ago. Rather than retype my rantings from back then, I've pasted them, including the links to the original, below. These were some of my postings back then;

I-5 Carpool Lane

I'm sorry I offended you. If you are a liberal and understand how traffic is supposed to flow, you are rare based on my experience. I don't always drive fast either, but when I'm slower than the prevailing traffic, such as in an unfamiliar area or while searching for an address, I move as far right and out of the way as possible. If I can't maintain highway speed or traffic starts to build behind me, I move to the shoulder and stop until I get my sh*t together.

I-5 Carpool Lane

My brother and I used to joke about building a big beater car with push-bars on the front, and a big, powerful engine and using it to 'shove' people out of the fast lane. We were young and crazy and we never did it.

I-5 Carpool Lane

If you want to slow everyone down, someone is going to get pissed and finish you off eventually. How do you know that the guy behind you doesn't have an emergency he's dealing with? Maybe a woman in labor on board? It's none of your business why someone wants to pass you. Your job is to make a path, not obstruct traffic. If you don't like it, take down the license number (in your head) and call the cops to report it. It's not your job to be the traffic director. If I were a cop and witnessed you blocking traffic, you'd be the one getting the the ticket for obstructing traffic.

I always notice it's the tree hugging, pink Volvos with John Kerry stickers left over from the last election that think it's their job to slow the traffic. These are the same a-holes who think they can tell me how to live my life and raise my kids. Move the hell out of the way. I'll bet I waste the equivalent of 2 weeks of my life every year following you idiots.

I really like the windshield sticker that says, "Move Over..." Where can I get one of those? It seems that my flashing high beams and honking horn only work about 1/2 the time. Maybe that would help.

handicappedfunhouse · 08-22-2010, 11:47 PM

I always do the charge on my bike. If they are going slow, I continue to back off and speed up... then they move and give them a thumbs up. I know its a waste but it makes my day more entertaining

.
I like it when you get from a two lane highway and a passing lane comes up. Its good to see that people do go over 55 on the highway....but its not till you get to those passing lanes they turn from grandma daisy to Micheal Andretti

.
I think I am gonna carry sticky notes with a page reference to the DMV book about passing, then say your an idiot keep RIGHT unless passing

and stick it to their window.

Frill-dog · 08-23-2010, 10:03 AM

Saw a guy with this sticker on his windshield this last weekend.... WINNER!!

paneuro98 · 08-23-2010, 11:18 AM

You can always buy a LEO lookalike bike like a white or black Honda ST-11/1300 or BMW 1150GS. Whenever I pull up behind a cager with the black ST with hard bags and mirror mounted PIAA 910's can almost see the beads of sweat before they beat a hasty retreat to the right lane while I blast on by.

james1300 · 08-23-2010, 11:23 AM

Just go round the stupid bitches! Is there a law in Oregon about moving over?

Transported · 08-23-2010, 11:32 AM

I didn't realize driving was such a political statement.

I drive like a maniac and I'm as progressive as they come.

Uhm yes, but it's been ignored for far to long

. Even posted signs! Ya know "keep right unless passing".

karlengle · 08-23-2010, 11:39 AM

Well, whining about liberals is what conservatives like to do best!

What? Am I stereotyping?

lazyeye · 08-23-2010, 11:45 AM

The day you find a traffic cop issuing a citation for someone driving like a pussy in the left lane, is the day coppers sprout wings and do traffic patrol from above.

In his defense though, I presume every cousin f-cking inbred redneck in their lifted moon Bronco swaying down the passing lane is just your run of the mill republican

handicappedfunhouse · 08-23-2010, 12:09 PM

I've found two, for two different states, but not ours

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDr5-JuIcaA

Under New Jersey law (where I learned to drive), it already is (1) illegal
to drive in the left-most lane except for when you are passing another
vehicle or about to make a left turn (2) legal to pass a car on the
right if it is waiting to make a left turn and in certain other
circumstances.
http://www.ibiblio.org/rdu/resp/025-...-on-right.html

And this was stopped, and its in TX

So Pigs are gonna fly now?

The nice thing about a bike is it fits in that little lane to the right of the white line...handy on a 2-lane road. Not that I would do that though, being a Liberal and all.

Avboden · 08-23-2010, 06:17 PM

I've found turning on my highbeam and bright ass AUX lights makes people move over.

Gusgus · 08-23-2010, 06:35 PM

driving my 3500 4 wheel drive 4 door dually a moron pulled from the middle lane right in front of me yesterday in south Portland. Then slowed down to 45mph! I passed on the left of the fast lane. I am sure it woke the dipshit up! My son high fived me, I was smoking hot.

Haga 41 · 08-23-2010, 08:00 PM

Did you know that a impeding traffic ticket is more than a speeding ticket. They have their cash cow right in front of them and they still wont write the award. Its like when you go down to the DMV to get your endorsement you are signing a piece of paper that says every jack f#@k has the right to run your ass over without fear of being prosecuted because they were on a motorcycle. It seems like I am reading more and more about the guy who had a illegal immigrant make a left turn in front of them leaving a widow to raise their kids and no citations issued and all we can do is bitch about the guy or gal that wont move over!

Did you really want to start a pissing contest to see what is the more fucked up thing to bitch about?

Who the fuck are you to decide what is the most important item, or the most dangerous condition? The fact is they are all troublesome, all dangerous and should be complained about even more. Bitch about the fucking corner beggers if it gets them off the corners, bitch about the assholes who stop and allow people to cut in, as if I don't fucking mind if I am held up or the guy who t-bones them is OK with it.

All we can do is come together in the spirit of motorcycles and correcting the wrongs. It isn't a pissing contest so stop trying to make it one!!!!!
