Lately, I’ve noticed an increasingly frustrating trend: drivers merging onto the highway and immediately heading to the left lane—only to sit there, blocking traffic. They’re not passing anyone. They’re not moving faster than the flow. They’re just… there, clogging up what’s supposed to be the passing lane.
It’s getting so bad that the right lane is often the best option for making actual progress. The left lane, once the domain of efficient overtaking, has become a parking lot for oblivious or inconsiderate drivers.
What happened to basic driving etiquette? The left lane is for passing—not for cruising, sightseeing, or daydreaming. If you’re not actively overtaking another vehicle, move over!
We need better drivers who understand and respect the flow of traffic. So, here’s a friendly reminder:
- Merge smart. Don’t rush to the left lane if you’re not keeping up with traffic.
- Pass, then move over. The left lane isn’t your personal highway lounge.
- Be aware. If cars are stacking up behind you, take the hint—it’s time to slide over.
Driving should be about efficiency, safety, and respect. Let’s get back to better habits and keep the left lane what it was meant to be: a passing lane, not a parking lane.
What do you think? Have you noticed this problem getting worse?
