Right Lane Retards

OK, the fit has hit the shan. What is it with people on 275 that clot the right hand lane creating loads and loads of traffic when the road is nowhere near capacity. My drive to work takes me on the interstate from Hillsborough to the Dale Mabry area. Traffic while heavy flows relatively well on good days if you can get to the two inside lanes, but inevitably the right hand lane is a veritable parking lot. This makes it a nightmare to get on and off the highway. Why to people persist in travelling long distances in the right hand lane. I know on rural interstates, particularly ones with only two lanes the right lane is the preferred lane of travel so people can pass on the left, but in urban areas traffic interacts in the right lane with merging and exiting cars creating a snafu that snarls the other two lanes. Sure if youre planning on exiting at the next or following exit, plan ahead and get over, but people travel for miles in the right lane jamming it up. And before I get some PC flak, look up retard-it means: to slow up especially by preventing or hindering advance. After this morning's commute Grumpmeter level is nearing 7.
