We do have a problem all over this country with people who are generally inconsiderate of other drivers. The Smith system is very good and everybody should follow it (but dont). The truck drivers should just let the idiots in the fast line go barreling by without being the "Jury". Let the police take care of these people-saw one get nailed by the men in blue for this nonsense just 2 days ago on an Interstate. And the race car drivers on the street should take into account the lack of acceleration/manuvering capability/visibility/and fatigue that plagues big rig drivers.
And as for modern speed contests on the street, most of our cars are likely too nice to put at risk racing unqualified egomaniacs on the street anyhow, even if it was legal. I have let all these people run my blood pressure up in the past and it simply isnt worth it. These "Left Lane Bandits" have always been there-just for the record. They just used to drive different cars than the Prius. They have been in Simcas, Renualt Dauphines, Fiat 500s,Diesel Chevettes and Izuzu I-Marks,Metros,4wd Toyota Corollas,any kind of small 4 cyl diesel powered pickups,Yugos,etc. And some people have a more powerful car but either are totally ignorant that the traffic is piling up behind them(they may be on the phone or doing their hair)
or have the before mentioned "self proclaimed speed limit and traffic law enforcment mentality. Unfortunantly, we have to just live with all this nonsense while driving. Its not going away any faster than the same people in grocery stores or retail markets that walk backwards or in super slow motion when you are trying to get at something.
