The analogy with the escalator is fantastic

waiting for someone to make a comment about C-lais in Richmond......

this needs to be taught in driving schools and icbc road tests.

Being illegal is pointless if the police doesn't actually enforce it.

More likely to pull over the person passing the lane hogger for speeding :rukidding:

it should be fixed regardless. problem i see is that the exotic car guys will look as this as a green light to continue speeding.... and their excuse will be that they were using the left lane.

they need to do this.

raise the speed limit :derp:, wasn't there some research done that modern roads, cars are capable of handling higher speeds, and the limit is just there so the government gets money from speeding tickets.

Worse if a semi or dumptruck is pulling this stunt :fuuuuu:

yea but if you raise it, people will drive faster

every time i see a semi or dump truck on knight street in richmond or either direction on the bridge going in to the left lane i'm like :ohgodwhy: :fuuuuu:

or 2 people hogging a 2 lane street by going 40 km/h in each lane lol

This video is talking about highway driving, not city driving.. In the city, there is no way traffic would run smoothly with all cars in ONE lane because of all the stop lights.

read the above comments where everyone is talking about city driving

Even with technological advancements in cars, some people still suck at driving.

Eg. Benz has that blind spot detector, but does a c-lai actually know what that light in her side mirror is for?

u say that as if nobody drives older cars anymore :badpokerface:

Raising the limit won't prevent people from being shitty drivers.
IMO the signs should read "KEEP RIGHT EXCEPT TO PASS" and they need to actually enforce it. I'm sure if there's a week long crackdown on left lane blockers (as with seatbelt checks), people will start getting the message.

Knight street is still considered a street bridge until you get to the richmond side, then it becomes a divided highway. This rule should not apply, especially since the bridge is such a terribly designed shit show with an average of 4 accidents a day. I believe the speed limit is 60-70 on that bridge? Half the accidents on there are probably caused by speeders, the other half don't know what a merge is. I was honked at this morning crossing the arthur laing bridge because i was in the left lane doing 65. It's not a fast lane, it's just a lane. damnit.

Speaking of that trucks and dump trucks. They drive like they were in a small sports car. They literally cut from far left lane to the far right lane just to go and pass a bunch of cars and cut back with their gigantic of a container right there.

Do they even know what their side mirrors are even for aside from checking their makeup? :ahwow:

No, the speed limit on the knight street bridge becomes 80 right after the mitchell island exit.

Those "Keep Right" signs are plastered all over I-5. Every time I go down to the States, the left lane is absolutely clean unless someone is overtaking. However, more often than not it's a Canadian that's jamming the fucking lane, and there's no one else to pass for miles, so I end up passing them on the right, which IIRC is illegal in certain cases.
