Re: driving to and from... is it just me?

Well that may be the case. But this was rural Georgia, well north of Atlanta, where there are no exits. So, I am not sure why people couldn't move over out of everyone's way- not just me... It was a major problem for a lot of people on the interstate. My husband and I were watching the pattern develop. Every time it was a problem because of the people in the middle lane. It was definitely not safe for them to stay in the middle lane when everyone around them was whizzing past them in the left and right lanes. I was taught to stay to the right if I am going slower than everyone else, or to move over (when not in the slow lane) if someone going faster pulls up behind me . Otherwise, I am clogging up the lane behind me, and that is dangerous. I watched it today- there were people a half mile in front of us in the left lane and was causing a back up that far because they would not pull into the middle lane... It was scary being in that pack.

It is sad that people don't have the courtesy for each other that existed a long time ago. I wish we could get it back. That being said- you all are a cut above... you are so nice on here. Not everywhere is it like that...
