when it comes to driving, 4 things come to mind-otherwise my daily commute
doesn't bother me...

1-hang up and drive.
2-don't leave your turn signal on for 20 miles down the road.
3-don't move into the fast lane on purpose, just to slow someone up!
4-2 cars going the same speed on the interstate to where you can't pass.

I'll add a closely related one...

Look in your mirror before changing lanes to pass a slower car on the
highway. If there's a car coming up on you (obviously faster than you), why
not let that car go by you and the slower car before you change lanes and
hold the other guy up the same way that the slower driver was holding you
up? It seems like the guy who has to pull out to pass the slow car in his
lane does not want to kick off his cruise control so he pulls out into the
fast lane. Get on it, pass and then move back over, or wait until the
faster car goes by.

Yep, that's exactly it. That would require moving his feet and
expending some energy, and most folk are lazy.

This is a Nascar group. You'd think that those who post here would know
enough about the sport that they could correctly spell the names of drivers,
crew chiefs, owners, etc.

Worst spelling peeve for me: "Rousch" instead of "Roush"
