xrichx saidAlso, avoid letting certain cars in front of you. I know that's a dick move. But I'm never wrong. Certain cars/drivers always drive slow or erratically, causing the rest of traffic to slow down.. in the left lane. Fuck those people.

Some people seem to drive slower but they're really not. That's me. My car has a sensor that senses when a car is in front of me when I have it on cruise control and slows down when necessary in order to maintain a specific distance. I can set that distance to far, not so far, closer, and close. I almost always keep it set at far. I can set the cruise control to 90 mph with the distance set to far and the people behind me see all that distance in front of me, get annoyed, and assume that I'm a slowpoke, but it's really the car ahead of me. They pass me and then my car just adjusts for them being ahead of me. Rinse and repeat with the next car behind me.

No. I'm talking about the people that leave a quarter mile gap between themselves and the car ahead of them. They're actually CAUSING traffic to back up.

scruffLA saidI totally agree with gap drivers causing back ups in busy traffic
southbeach1500 saidArt_Deco saidI tend to stay in 1 lane, unless I must change lanes because of a problem car ahead of me. My husband hates that, because he's a constant lane changer. Typical of Florida, I call it the "zig-zag" school of driving. Florida drivers can't go a single block without changing lanes.
I quickly get in the lane I know I'll need, and just stay there. Works best for me, if not my husband, who follows the Florida ethic that you always have to get ahead of the driver in front of you.
Hmmmm... That may be the case in Wilton Manors, but is not at all the case in Miami-Dade, nor any of the other parts of the state for that matter.

What do you guys mean by "gap drivers"? If the speed limit is 65 and someone has a quarter mile gap in front of them but they're driving 70, and they're not in the leftmost lane, is that a problem?

scruffLA saidI totally agree with gap drivers causing back ups in busy traffic, sometimes, especially here in LA, CHP will do a 'traffic break' for no apparent reason other than to purposely slow traffic speed for everyone, in every lane. This traffic cop power play has never really been explained. I have never seen this done in any other city. I have been 'in the front' of one of these breaks, watching the cop weaving 5 lanes back and forth, finally exiting and when we do get back up to normal speed, there is no traffic accident or problems on the freeway. I think they do this just to be dick heads. In LA, there are so many cars and because of the gaps drivers cause and CHP gaps, leads to complete, sudden brake, gridlock miles in back of the place where the gap occurred. Very annoying
Say you are 2 miles behind where the gap occurred, you and the cars around you are at a complete stand still and nobody knows why
