Is there such a thing as a passing lane?

[c=#BF6900]Here in the U.S. the left lanes are typically for those passing the slower drivers.

Unfortunately, there are bunches and bunches of people who dont agree resulting in all lanes blocked by drivers going approx. the same speed.

Happens in Canada as well, really comes down to uneducated drivers. It is far too easy to get a license and once you do, as long as nothing happens, you don't have to be retested ever.

@gmatthewb uneducated or disrespectful?

@CC67219 I've spent most of the past 15 years on the roads in Canada and the US, in that times I have seen so many things. I really believe it is all about them not knowing that they are to stay in the right lane unless they are passing someone and that the left lane is for passing only. A lot of people don't even know how to signal correctly though, along with a lot of other mistakes people make while driving. So, my only conclusion is they just don't know any better. I don't like to think that there are that many people purposely trying to upset others while driving.
