I don't usually get mad. I'm a nice guy........or scared of other drivers. I'm not sure yet, lol.

One thing that has always confused me: the fast lane. What is the reasoning behind that? I was under the impression that everyone was supposed to be driving the speed limit.....the fast lane seems like a paradox.

 

Fast lane is for passing.  If USA drivers were smart enough or were taught like how they drive in Germany then there would be fewer accidents.  I saw on History Channel it is illegal to pass someone on the right which happens all the time where I live (Austin, Tx) because you have some dumbass going 60 or 65 in the fast lane clogging up traffic.  So people try to zoom in and out (passing on the right side) which increases the likelyhood of an accident.  If everyone just passed on the left the highway would be a lot safer.
