Wisconsin drivers

[Conrad]

Do the drivers in Wisconsin not know how to read a sign or what?

After many trips driving up to and in Door County over the summer and this fall, I have come to the conclusion that they do not!

Two lane roads with CLEARLY marked slow vehicle passing lanes. The damn sign says, "Slower traffic KEEP RIGHT". They even have signs telling drivers that the passing lane is coming up!!!

Yet the stupid with Wisconsin plates stay in the left lane.           Assholes!



Just like this. See all the Wisconsin drivers in the left lane?

Hey, it's their state and you're a foreigner. What do you expect? It'll be different when they get the fence done.

They do it all the time here.  You just want to grab them by their throats and  .   I don't understand why some drivers do that (travel in the left lane all the time).  I feel nervous staying in it unless I'm on an Interstate flowing with the traffic.  Must be genetic.  Many times it's because they're going to make a left turn in 20 miles and they want to be sure they're set up for it correctly.

What fence?

Aren't we protecting our borders?

Makes no difference on gender, age, ethnicity.  I've seen the entire gamut going slow.  No one in my family does it(if they did, I'd give em an earful), so I can't ask why.  I rode (in a car) with a driver that did that and I felt so uncomfortable I wanted to jump out of the vehicle.  I didn't ask him about it because we wanted to sell him a system.  Didn't want to **** him off.

  You should see how they drive in Lake Havasu City, Arizona when they arrive for the Winter. You can tell The Arrival of the Snow Birds by the broken tail light and headlight glass at every intersection.
  Other then the poor driving, they are very nice folks.

Based on my experience driving all over the country, Wisconsin isn't the only offending state. People everywhere do that.

Another typical behavior is going 5 under the limit, but when they get to the passing zone they gas it and end up going 15 over. Once the passing zone is over, it's right back down to 5 under.

makes u want to push them on down the road like a senile semi driver did to a woman and her child for 10 miles, right before his vacation w the state.   as was said, some people take it as an attack on their dignity if u should be so boldly offensive as to dare to pass them anywhere.  what the heck was i thinking to try that?  i get a big laugh out of how people drive.  sometimes.

 I have driven in most states, and the worst driving offenders are the old retired "townies" that are out in the early afternoons and the Asian females around San Francisco.

Put down your phone and wake up, doomasses.

I try and teach them, but one man can't fix this.

By the look of you avatar you're trying.

My wake is quite epic.

Have the same issues up here. As well as the self appointed speed police, they speed up to switch lanes then match the speed of the slower car to slow you down . Douche-bag central. split lanes at this point 
had a few thoughtful drivers yesterday pull to the shoulder to let me pass , they received a thumbs up unlike the others who usually get the flying Eagle.

And here I thought Texas had a monopoly on that behavior. Must be universal.

[rrman1]

  also my preference

We have the same problem in Colorado too... and it's even on slab... they'll loaf along in the left lane @ 5 under, and even give you a look of wonderment, as you pass them on the right giving them the "number one" hand sign!

If I'm not in a hurry... I'll pull in front of them, and left off the gas... slowing down... forcing them in to the right lane... then I'm on my way.

You and me both, Brother. It amazes me how long they're willing to follow me at 40 MPH though.
I've had plenty of people cheer me on at the next light.
