Does anyone know what the far left lane is used for?

American or German?

In the USA, the far left lane is for the lazy SOBs who turn on their cruise controls at the speed limit plus a few and coast. They do not move over, they do not yield. Every 20 miles or so, you will run into a log jam due to them.

In Germany, the far left lane is for the fastest cars on the road. If you are slower and are in that lane, you get a whooper ticket if you do not yield to faster cars.

Which system is better? German. The German autobahns have a lower fatality rate than the US interstates proving speed does NOT kill. (Except for Americans who drive on the Autobahns, such as military service personnel. Americans are idiots when it comes to high speed driving.)

In L.A. the far left lane is for MORONS trying to get better reception on their cell phones while they have the better traffic flow signage view and can still while juggling those manage to fix their faces in the mirror without the glare of the middle lane new Mercedes reflecting their way and getting in the way.. or so it seems every morning!! I think it comes with your SAG card!!

It stands for Super fast lane. Don't get in my way. Far right lane is for slowskies.

For 18 wheelers to get in and slow down 4 wheelers.

Making left turns or faster traffic. Sometimes it's carpool.

I hope I'm right?!

the passing lane..

For high speed travel. stay the hell out of it unless you are passing or going faster than average speed.

i think it is used for the hitch hikers so they can stand there and look pretty and put a thumbs up to the ppl that are driving by........ : )

Dave, I couldn't have said it better.

car pooling
