Those Infuriating Drivers That Take Over The Left Lane And Prevent Passing Will Undoubtedly Be Stifling For AI Self-Driving Cars

Difficulties in left lane usage are common and exasperating. I'm referring to those darned drivers that sit in the left lane nearly forever, cruising leisurely along without a seeming care in the world, backing up traffic as they do so. You've undoubtedly been stuck behind such a driver. It is exasperating, infuriating, and altogether makes you want to bust a gasket. They get into the left lane and occupy the lane as though it is owned by them. On top of this, they decide to be the unofficial determiner of the allowed speed for the rest of nearby traffic. For example, even though the posted speed limit might be 65 miles per hour, the left lane hog will opt to go at say 55 miles per hour. There are lots of frequently cited reasons or excuses for this type of behavior. One claim is that they are going at the safest appropriate speed. This is based on the logic that the posted speed is the maximum allowed speed, which is not necessarily the safest allowed speed. Indeed, the driver's handbook clearly states that you should never assume that the posted speed is the speed that you are to be driving at.
