Slower traffic should drive on the right. Period. Also, why the heck would two cars be driving neck and neck???? This pisses me off. Get the heck outta the way!!!

That's quite the road rage there buddy. I'd hate to be a passenger in your car, or a driver anywhere near you. Calm down, or you'll get killed.
Lots of us drive with purpose, but we're not invincible. Stop driving like you own the road. Seriously.

Pretty good rule of thumb there.
One of the first things I was taught: if someone else has to react to your driving (and by that I do not mean stopping/starting at signs/lights, rather highway/freeway driving), you're probably doing something that is a possible threat on the road. And when you're flying on a strip of ash at 110kph, you need to have complete control of your vehicle. "no funny business" my teacher used to say. heh.
