[quote=Anonymous]NP, but I gotta say, everyone on this thread is exactly why everyone claims the DMV is full of terrible drivers...

I'm a nervous driver, so I strongly prefer to hug the right lane and just suck it up if I get stuck behind someone slow  (especially with y'all crazy people who think speed limits mean 15mph greater than the speed limit!) but given how many stupid left exits there are in this city, I am sometimes forced to move over to left lane just so I can get where I'm going.  And because I'm a nervous driver, I am NOT going to be able to safely dive across four lanes of traffic to get to my exit at the last minute.  So the left lane will have to live with me doing only 5-10mph over the speed limit for a few miles before my exit.

To answer the OP's original question: I had a shoddy American driving education, which definitely contributes to my not-great driving, but the only reason I EVER end up in the left lane is left exits which seem to be a specifically DC-area perversion.  Or at least they're rare in the other parts of the US I've been to.[/quote]
