Left Lane  A rant by: joejoetime People of WInnipeg! When you are on a four or more lane highway, such as the perimeter, or any other similar street please remember: The left lane is for fast traffic! If you are driving slow in the left lane, please move over to the right. It is courteous to other drivers and will reduce road rage in drivers such as myself. WOmen of winnipeg, please note: Your rearview mirror is usefull for more than just checking your makeup. Try aiming it a bit differently and you'll notice me riding your tail. This does not mean that i want to be close to you. It means your in my way and i want to pass you. If you would be so kind as to move into the right lane i would greatly appreciate it.

This manuevers you speak of also go well with the pass between two cars going under the speed limit, and the use a merge off lane as a passing lane (only for use w/ fast cars and booze). What get's my goat is when i'm driving my pickup truck and i don't want to go over 100. on the perimeter. I stay in the right lane and everytime i have people riding my ass rather then going into 'the givr lane'. I took the drivers training nearly 10years ago and i still remember clearly that the slow traffic always keeps to the right. Why don't you morons realize that this means the fast traffic keeps left?!?! Also for you transport drivers out there. You are all freakin retards. We all know it takes you 6 miles to get up to full speed. So why do you go in the giver lane right beisde another transport truck. You do realize you are putting my childrens life in danger here! (i get so pissed off i pass them both in the ditch). Granted you are trying to make a living, But so are all the people that drive to and from work. Maybe it's time you realize your not the most important person on the road. Infact you are just a sweaty lonely pathetic excuse for a man. Also, when we get snowstorms and the traffic is all going 80kms/hr on the perimeter why do you cameljockeys in your reimer express threads flow by us at 120? Never seen a semi truck in the ditch before? On its side with the drivers head decapitated? And do you not realize that a little car loses its traction when a huge highway tractor with a 53' trailer loaded on it blows by?!?! give you head a shake! the law has spoken. Anonymous says: 2005-11-16 19:01:40 There's nothing like driving through Winnipeg and ma and pa Kettle humming along in the left lane at a whole 40 kmh! Or junior in daddys car with the seat way back and the quarter panels thumping to some "I hate the world rap crap", talking on his cell! You would think that everyone passing you on the right would be a sign. Oh wait! You probably want to make a left turn on the other side of the city, so I can see why you're in the left lane! Silly me! M O V E OVER!!! Anonymous says: 2005-12-08 00:11:21 Umm what if you are turning left? Then it is going to be impossible to cross three lanes to get into that lane cause a Winnipeg driver would never let you in. By the way i bet you are one of those people who thinks the speed limit is actually 10 over the number on the sign. I don't want to kill any innocent people thank-you. SOLMoFo says: 2007-02-08 21:54:31 Hallelujah!!! This is possibly the most irritating aspect of my morning commute, taking the perimiter to avoid the slowasses on the main route. I think part of the problem lies with driver training. Graduated licencing is simply a cash grab in a pitiful attempt to make up for the training (or lack thereof) provided to our new drivers. Also the signage is to blame: "Slower traffic keep right". Nobody likes to think of themselves as slow. Also, this implies "I'm doing 100 km/h which is the speed limit, the right lane is intended for people going slower". The sign should read "Keep right except to pass". The semis in each lane are frustrating, but what is truly infuriating is when you have a semi in one lane, and a passenger vehicle in the other, both at a red light. You go behind the car, because it accelerates faster than the semi, right? WRONG!!! Every time, I'm stuck behind someone who is obviously overdosing on a mix of Quaaludes and Heroin. |

I agree with the joejoe. But I think that if people like us are hindered by dips***s that don't know what they are doing on the road, we should be allowed to tap the rear end of their car to get thier attention. Some of these losers don't get the hint when you are 2 feet off their bumper going 100kph, so usually I sit on the horn at the same time, and then I get the dirty look as I pass. Also, if I pass you and then slow way down and block your progress, this is just to show you how I felt, you tool.
