Ranting #345 - Driving

I am wondering if they teach a few basic principles in driver's education anymore.

1. Cars turning right at an intersection have the right of way verus cars turning left across lanes. Cars that are turning right at a green light, please don't wait for those cars turning left.
2. One car (who is already in the intersection) is allowed to turn left once the light has turned red, not two or three cars.
3. The HOV lane is not for passing and vehicles in it should go the speed limit.
4. The far left lane on a highway (not the HOV lane) is used for passing slower cars. If a car is passing you on the right, then you are in the wrong lane. Signs on the highway, ask that slower cars stay in the right lanes. Why can't people follow these signs, stop hanging out in the right lane and move over.

I always wish that there was a lane for people actually going the speed limit. I feel like if I'm going to speed limit, people ride my tail even in the slow lane. All I'm saying is leave five minutes earlier. Or just be five minutes late. But get off my dang tail. Come see us soon!
