I’d be happy if everyone just got off the fucking phone. They can’t put it down, even while piloting a 3000+ pound vehicle. Some of them are piloting 5000, 6000 lb vehicles. The only answer I have to any of is to move rural and figure out a way you can work rural too. As long as you are around big metros, cities, etc, this is only going to get worse, not better. It will not change until AI/self driving bullshit is extremely common. These pacifier bitches will buy these vehicles, Hal9000 will drive them around so they can play on their phones in pure ecstasy 24/7. Then you’ll be able to get around them 10X easier.
What am I doing? I'm talking to an empty telephone

I think the whole "can't pass on the right" has been misunderstood. When I learned to drive, it was about passing on the shoulder.
If it applies to traveling on multi lane highways, imagine someone going 20 under in the left lane just to block all lanes of traffic because no one would dare just drive at normal speed.

It's already started. You can tell which vehicles are using adaptive cruise control, Teslas especially. They leave giant gaps for people to merge into and slow down every time it happens causing more people to swing right to get around the Tesla and merge back left.
On I75 to Tampa, I generally cruise the right lane as there's no one in it compared to the left and center lanes. Go figure.

when in traffic on a big highway I like the adaptive cruise control... I set it slightly higher than the vehicle in front of me that is going at a speed I like and it just follows that car.
I think the politicos in SC were discussing passing a law about left lain drivers but I'm sure some of them probably explained how it was against God's wishes and quoted something from the Bible to prove their point.
