RE: Proper Driving Etiquette. Part one, The Left Lane.
I love this! My wife and I talk about this all the time, people driving in the passing lane is a good example. People just do not know the rules of the road anymore or are too distracted to care.
The number of close calls and nit-witted infractions I see almost EVERY time I get behind the wheel is astounding. I wonder how there aren't more accidents. During our last road trip to NY we noticed even the OTR truckers weren't following the rules, this use to be the group of drivers who observed the rules the most. I have two words...autonomous vehicles. I'll miss driving but at this point humanity is so distracted we'll be much better off with a computer at the wheel.
Agreed, we'll be sleeping behind the wheel in no time with no issues. Hopefully you have the option though, I would like to go back to 'manual' driving once in a while just for the fun of it.
Truckers have been getting worse. I think years ago, a lot of the truckers were lifers so they had experience as to how the rules worked. The pay has risen dramatically lately because of the need for so many drivers, that newbies are rising in #'s fast. Clearly they don't know the rules as well.
