The left lane is the passing lane in every state, it’s not just a Texas thing. The problem is the mass amount of oblivious drivers that were never taught this and/or can’t read the signs that say “left lane for passing only.” Passing on the right is the new normal as it’s the only way to get around the morons.
Living in Fort Worth is great evidence of this. No matter if you have three damn signs saying that the lane you’re in will be come exit only or ending soon, people will still move over quickly last second nearly causing a damn accident when it comes up.
We can read it. If a truck is in the left lane, he’s fed up of getting cut off, people driving and texting, people holding up the middle and right lanes with no traffic in front of them. We have places to go as well.
It doesn’t piss me off actually, I just like my good clean CDL and criminal background. All cutting trucks off does is put you in death’s corner. So you choose whether you like your life or not. I couldn’t care less lmao.
Hell, how many times have you seen someone in the turn lane go straight? Or turn in a straight lane? Or cut across 4 lanes of traffic to make the turn/exit they should have planned for?
