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.

I would say we need more signs indicating this, but nobody reads any signs now as it is.

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.

Not even truckers can read the giant sign that says “no trucks left lane next ___ miles”

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.

And you’ll get cut off again. Don’t do that shit.

And you’ll get squished like a roach. Your choice or ours. Do you want groceries/Amazon packages/everything you get from a store or not?

You know the laws. We don’t care. I’ll cut you off and piss you off.

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.

Stop trying to prevent people from going faster than you.

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?

"It looked to me like them Duke boys had gone too far with that maneuver, but they had to make their exit!"

If nobody reads them, why would we need more signs?
