YES, I have. I have a very heavy lead foot but I swear to you... They need to put signs up before you get near Atlanta that say "Gentlemen, Start your engines!!", If you're not from here, pull over to get your race endorsement first. Those people HAUL A$$ around there. lol
No crap. When I'm in our Box Truck that tops out at 72mph we are just sitting ducks. And merging is a whole new activity. The art to merging is to hit your turn signal then merge immediatly. If you put your turn signal on and wait for a few seconds. The car behind you will merge over and pass you to get back in front of you even though you were getting out of their way anyways.
Now between 6am and 10am there is no moving on the interstate in any direction. Not on the Perimeter or any interstates 50miles out. It gets jammed.
But on a funny note some College students from Georgia State University decided to do an experiment with I-285. They decided to run the 63mile Perimeter and obeying the law and not going over 55mph at all. And they did it 4lanes deep so no one can pass them.
Here is the video about it...

Not assholes. They did nothing wrong. Yes, you do have a passing lane and shouldn't really be driving in it but this practice is not enforced. What is an asshole is the people doing 75+mph in a 55mph zone killing people because they couldnt stop in time for some reason. Or the assholes that passed them on the side of the road running into a disabled vehicle... They merely were trying to get media coverage to try to fix the problem with this road. Either raise the speed limit or get an amry of cops and monitor that shit like no tomorrow.
