I live in NJ. Around here you can't get anywhere if you driving in the left lane because this is where all the slow campers are. Left lane huggers is like a cancer around here. People pulling from the stand still straight into the left lane even if there's not a single car in the right lane, forcing others to change lanes and pass them on the right. Obviously it triggers others. Lately I'm using right lane more often then ever before, just because nobody drives in it. On the other hand, one of my friends got rear ended severely by a limo while doing 70 mph in the right lane on the Garden State Parkway. Limo driver who crashed into him claimed that my friend was driving too slow and was obstructing traffic, LOL. Crazy stuff.

I have noticed that in NJ also, which is weird because NJ troopers used to be MILITANT about policing people who sit in the left lane. It’s like they just completely abandoned that.

Driving these days is like navigating a battlefield. I've been a limo driver for years, and I've seen it all. Stay alert, anticipate the craziness, and be defensive. Also, invest in a good dashcam. it's saved me more times than I can count. And remember, sometimes it's just not worth engaging with aggressive drivers, even if they cut you off or ride your tail. Stay safe out there, folks.

That's an edge case. Normally its:
Challenger drivers doing challenger things
Mustang drivers doing mustang thing
Jeep driver doing jeep things
