I'm not advocating the behavior you are outlining, just clarifying moronic statements.
I use right lane to enter and exit, then straight to the left lane as I tend to drive faster than most and I always move to the middle when someone driving faster comes up from behind. So I guess I would say A.
I have seen plenty of Firebird drivers do some crazy stuff over the years too.
In my CLK350, 90 on my speedo is 85 according to GPS. 50/50 on whether I'd pass you, unless you drop below 80, then you're in my mirrors.On the other hand, riding my sportbike, I'm always the fastest it seems. According to the ISP trooper that didn't ticket me last month, 90 on my speedo is laser confirmed to be 82mph, which is my "average" speed on the highway. Cars never pass me, so I'm always in the left lane. I try to stay away from other vehicles altogether, so I find myself zipping around slow left-laners, speeding up greatly to pass semis, and going much faster than 90 to get out of a pack of traffic and back into my comfort zone.

I usually do, but what about the ones that are veering all over the place, not moving over to go past an interchange when they have the room to do so and almost running cars off the road, speeding (75/65), cutting drivers off and/or changing lanes less than 10 feet behind the car ahead? Its kinda hard to stay away from the big-rigs when they suddenly decide they want to be in your lane and don't really wait for you to get out of the way.
for the record, I witnessed all of the above this morning on my drive from FW to Indy on I-69.
Also, when I was driving my firebird I had a semi start to make a lane change while I was passing it. that is kinda scary when you're looking over at the underside of the trailer
If a car passed me on my bike, I'd be following him until one of us reaches our exit! It's a rare sight, but thank you for not granny driving in the left lane!
Speaking of following people:
I live near an ISP and Lake County post, and it seems that going up and down 65 I end up following them 50% of the time. People get out of the way for them, seem to pay attention to the road for a few seconds, and I feel much safer following them, not to mention they're usually going 15-20 over and I get to my destination a bit quicker.
I've had one scenario where I was following an ISP trooper who was going 95-100 when he pulled into the right lane, started pacing me, checked out my bike and gave me the . I let him back in front of me and we cruised all the way to Merrillville in a very timely fashion. Believe it or not, I've ran across the same trooper at the same stretch of road twice, this time with me pacing him and giving him the before pulling in behind him. What a nice guy!
Grown ups? Where?
It's maddening in Lake county, all the IL platers and transplants bring over their crappy driving habits.
The worst part is when the guy holding up traffic in the passing lane is going the same speed as the guy in the right lane and YOU CAN SEE THE G--DAMN OPEN ROAD FOR MILES AHEAD OF THEM GAH WTFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
