I remember back in 1979, we were driving back to Indiana from Florida and we were driving through Georgia and I remember my dad was pretty pissed with some left lane hog that refused to move over. He was also running the CB as well and you can hear people on it talking about that car !
A different story, there was a woman who owned lake property next to us, she was a real ***** and widowed. Her late husband was a big executive for GM in Anderson IN and she was his secretary. She got him to divorce his previous wife and married him. She had several kids stay with her each summer and one of them and I were talking. The kid remarked how she would get p*ssed when someone passes her on the highway and how she drove right at 55 mph. This was before cell phones became prevalent but the kid mentioned that she stopped several times at a gas station to report the person to the IN State Police.
One time I was talking with someone and she overheard our conversation and butted in and remarked, “if the speed limit is 55 mph, you damn well better do 55 mph or have your license revoked”. She was definitely a busy body and I know from her attitude that she was a “keeper of the low speed” and a LLB.
> Did she have Alabama plates? Seems that every state/region has its own set of driver idiosyncrasies. Some Alabama drivers love to hog the hammer lane, slowly passing cars on their right. As soon as they finish their pass, instead of moving over, they speed up so that the line of frustrated cars behind them cannot get past. Then they slow down again when passing another car.
But sooner or later they all wind up in Florida.
