Well here's the top five types of left-lane hogs as I see it:
- The "clueless" types - they don't realize the "passing lane" vs. "cruising lane" convention, they just figure there's two lanes, why not spread out & use both. They abhor a lane vacuum.
- The "don't give a damn" types - difficult to distinguish from the "clueless", however they do exist. A quote I read from one "don't give a damn"-type fellow about the frustrated drivers stuck behind him in the left lane: "F'em. I am already speeding. You want to go faster, go around. Oh, and flash your f'ing lights at someone else. "
- The "very, very slowly passing people in the right lane" types. They're aware of the passing lane vs. cruising lane convention, and are adhering to it, though very slowly.
- The "not paying attention" types (though, to their credit, once they realize they're hogging the left lane, they tend get over to the right reasonably promptly).
- The "above it all, don't know & don't care" types - these are people driving large trucks & SUVs who aren't concerned about the problems we little people think we're having, and they probably can't even see us anyway.
