and BINGO was his name-o!

But seriously, if you are in the right lane doing anywhere from 55-60, slow down for traffic to merge, or if you are really good speed up to avoid any decision making. If the person is trying to speed up they are obviously trying to go faster than you, so why speed up more?

But in actuality you should be in the middle lane if you are just cruising along. I HATE people that drive in the right lane like it is a driving lane.

My next rant will be that little triangular shaped sign, its a yield sign, not a blow though this sign and diregard traffic. . .
