Bootstrap Framework 3.3.6

I am in 2 minds over this. I think driving tests should be different. (I am on about in the UK here)
Just because I can reverse around a corner, do a parrallel park, and "turn the car around in the road using forward and reverse gears" does not mean that you can drive!!! I think everyone should be tested every few years, maybe depending on age or how you scored in your previous test to set the longevity of the period. However the driver is marked on road awareness and for want of a better word curtesy(spl) to other road users, as well as road sense.

How many times do you see a 70 year old granny doing about 20 miles an hour in a 60 zone? all the time, that would be an instant fail. If the driver feels that going at that speed is the fastest they can go safely then they have no right and must not be confident or competent to drive. I would also have middle lane hoggers publicly flogged.

I'll volunteer for the

I sit in the middle lane and I refuse to apologise for it. If you're in a car on a road with three lanes with a heavy volume of lorries/caravans etc. in the slow lane then the most sensible place to be is in the middle. Anyone going faster than me (i.e. breaking the speed limit - as I tend to stick at 70) can go into the right hand lane (UK) to overtake if they want.

Its an overtaking lane! Dangerous to hog it.

Not to mention illegal.......

I do the same in the US; mainly because there are on/off ramps about every mile, so I would end up constantly changing lanes to let merging traffic onto the highway!

[What's Burning?]

I think in the US, merely the "concept" of a passing lane being understood would be welcomed. (I've actually never seen it enforced in 28 years of driving) So middle lane blocking isn't even on the top ten list of driving offenses.
