Default Left Lane Confusion (USA)

On a four lane highway the LEFT lane is for two things 1) Passing 2) Faster traffic. The RIGHT lane is for SLOW drivers. But apparently I live in bizarro world where everything is backwards. How can people....A) not understand this B) be completely oblivious and not ever check their mirrors and realize that they've been holding up 12 cars behind them for the last 17miles because their driving 55mph in a 65mph zone in the "passing" lane and the guy in the right lane is driving right next to them at 55mph as well (aka..roadblock)?

So your on your motorcycle completely hemmed in with no escape. Your stuck in peoples blind spot (which I hate) and the moron in the left lane four cars up is in LaLa land. On a bike you can't afford to get road rage because it will get you killed but you want to talk about frustrating as well as just simply a unsafe situation. All becuase of someones inane stupidity!!!

I vote for..........
1) Mandatory Driving Tests everytime someone gets their license renewed.
2) If your over 65yrs old....eye exam & driving test every two years.
3) All stupid people get deported to Antarctica........(god that's going to be a crowded place)
