I dunno how you Californians tolerate this. Here, we block and push people out of the way if they are going to slow. God as my witness I have seen it done.
We don't have time that shit, bro!
People here think that if they are going the speed limit, they are entitled to hog the left lane. In LA, in traffic, it doesn't really matter. The problem occurs when traffic starts to get light again and people fail to realize they are still in the left lane for no good reason.
I've flashed by brights at many drivers and had nothing happen. People are either not paying attention, not aware of what this means, or worse -- stubbornly refusing to adhere to the rules.
I've lived in California almost all my life (other than a couple brief stints in London) but I have driven all over the US, UK, and Europe and based upon my experiences, California is the absolute worst when it comes to left lane hogs.
Another theory I have is that there are too many people from Mexico here -- illegal or not, I don't think it is in their culture to keep to the right, but moreover the ones who are illegal are too afraid to speed since they don't even have licenses. That's not racist, that's a fact.
