i really hope m5power doesn't drive like he says he does cause i'd give you a hard assed time if u ever met me on the road. i don't let anyone get away with poor driving skills. if its a learner its obvious to tell cause they have a fat 'L' on their car and i never for one second hassle them. i was a learner once and i know how hard it is getting used to everything on the roads. but if someone has a license and they still can't drive they are in for trouble. one mistake arouses my suspicion, and if they make another stupid one, endanger someone's life or i find out they are talking on the phone i will honk/cut them up, block them unnecessarily on a set of lights etc... i can't tolerate people who drive badly.
however fortunately many people in london drive very well and i must say i love it when everyone drives like they should and u don't have to complain about anything. u can even switch off and let ur subconsious mind drive u home.
with regards to US freeways, can u guys overtake on either side of a car on them? i thought u can only overtake on the 'fast' lane side of a car... like we can
as for things i hate, people who drive dangerously. if they are thick the rest of their life is probably nothing to be proud of so i pity them. but people who endanger other people's lives by whatever means, forgetting indicators or speeding in unnecssary places (school zones) get me very angry indeed.
i therefore hate mobile phone users and people who drink and drive by the same logic. one of my m8's pisses me off cause he always has like a beer or two and then waits till he 'feels' fine and drives home. i tell him not to do it but he says "well im not over the limit by now am i?". he's probably one of my best friends and i'd hate to call up the police on him and get him jailed cause he needs his car for his job/uni but if he kills someone i wont hesitate to testify against him. anyone think i should act differently? (pm me if u dont want to change topic)

I do, but don't worry - if anybody looks dangerous or has a car that conveys a dangerous image, I let off considerably - if you've got an Acura or BMW, I'll mess with you, but if you were stupid enough to buy the upscale version of the Chevrolet Malibu, you're probably also carrying a gun - so you go ahead, then. As I said, I'm also relatively nice to cars that I like such as W8 Passats or any Eagle product.

Overtake on left only - it's even more dangerous in the United States because the trucks (lorries) are much larger, and the driver's got a much larger blindspot to his right side than on his left. That plus the fact that 99% of highway exits are right-lane makes passing on the left the sensible thing.
The thing about it is that people don't always bother with the sensible thing, especially with losers who stick to the speed limit in the left lane. I typically drive 5-10mph above the speed limit on freeways and stick to the middle lane, but I'm astounded to either be passed by people going 20-30mph faster than I am or to be passing people who simply won't move to the right.

That's actually a fallacy.
There's no specific law regarding overtaking on the left ("undertaking"), and so it is entirely legal. However try not to do it with police cars around, as they will, if bored, do you for "Driving without Due Care and Attention"
Check the "Middle Lane Morons" website for an official response - http://www.middlelanemorons.com
I was forced to undertake on the A1 last weekend - a guy in a Mazda Demio filling the right hand lane at 45mph, causing traffic to bunch behind him. In the interests of preserving adequate following distances, and to prevent undue braking for the drivers behind me, I undertook. Followed by my dad. Followed by the car behind him. And at least six others (I'd left the vicinity at a reasonable lick by that point).
Have you heard of hog-lapping yet? I think I posted it around here somewhere (maybe in this very thread... I'm getting old...)
