[QUOTE=Xesum;16634013]No, they were called paths, and if they were main paths they were rocked.[/QUOTE] No, they were called dirt roads. [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirt_road[/url]
The leftmost lane is where you're supposed to travel 20km/hr while looking for your offramp. Everyone knows this.
[QUOTE=HellNaw;16629799]stop playing eve[/QUOTE] 130au/hour... That would be fucking slow, at least in EVE terms. A.K.A. about 0.04 au/second. Yea.
[QUOTE=Dr Egg;16629727]The first roads were made for horse and chariots, and the cars adapted to that. It's like that story of why the booster rockets on the space shuttle are a certain size, to preserve compatibility with the old standard, thing were kept the same way, so basically the size of the booster rockets are dictated by Roman horse and carts or something.[/QUOTE] Carts were made, wider roads were cleared. Carts were built to fit a standard size for roads, roads remained. Cars were built to fit the roads built for carts built the fit the roads for earlier carts. Railways were built the same way as well as another way, eventually standardised to the same as carts and cars. Rocket boosters were built to fit the trains which were built the same as roads built to fit carts and cars built to fit earlier carts. The history of transport follows that same wheel distance... Anyway, to the point, it's for overtaking. The right lane that is, the outside one, because Britain is right on the left. There's also the hard shoulder, don't drive there, that's just silly, that's for fire engines and engines on fire.
So you can pass those goddamn slow ass old people, people who are high, asian women, people who pay no attention to anyone else who is on the road, etc.
[QUOTE=deepneau;16587295]It's for overtaking slow ass motherfuckers who DONT FUCKING KNOW NOT TO FUCKING EAT A MOTHERFUCKING BURGER WHILE ALSO AT THE SAME FUCKING TIME STEERING THE GODDAMN WHEEL AND SCREAMING AT THEIR MOTHERFUCKING CHILDREN IN THE MOTHERFUCKING BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![/QUOTE] "It's for people that don't know how to multitask" That's all you had to say bro.
[QUOTE=insane taco;16587251]I'm talking about the fast lane on the highways. I started driving late last year with my permit and I've only realized this now. Why does the Government/Police want you to drive at the speed limit but then they have a "fast lane" on the highway? Or am I just getting this all wrong and it's not really a fast lane and that it was named that by the people and the name sticked? Please explain this phenomenon.[/QUOTE] There is no fast lane anyone who totl you that is a moron There are HOV lanes for carpooling it helps people get to work faster and easier
[QUOTE=mike;16588161]because we can drive properly. and drive on the correct side of the road. and use roundabouts.[/QUOTE] It doesn't matter what side of the road you drive on, there's always going to be nutburgers that can't drive anywhere you go. [editline]11:27PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Peluri;16630010]some motherfuckers wont let me pass them when i'm driving a motorcycle, when i go to fast lane they just accelerate so i can't get past them :/[/QUOTE] Be careful out there, I mean it.
[QUOTE=Peluri;16630010]some motherfuckers wont let me pass them when i'm driving a motorcycle, when i go to fast lane they just accelerate so i can't get past them :/[/QUOTE] I'd make a mental note of their license plate and turn the fuckers in. That's dangerous as shit.
it's the lane where volvo drivers aren't allowed to drive in
I thought this was going to be about the chain of gas stations named Fast Lane.

[QUOTE=Peluri;16630010]some motherfuckers wont let me pass them when i'm driving a motorcycle, when i go to fast lane they just accelerate so i can't get past them :/[/QUOTE] Not sure about anywhere else, but intentionally accelerating when someone is trying to pass you is illegal where I live. :tinfoil:

[QUOTE=KrAzY_nikomo;16637570]it's the lane where volvo drivers aren't allowed to drive in[/QUOTE] And Honda Civics. God damn people thinking they're the shit that can't drive. Also, the Fast Lane has proven very useful for me.
