Prius, get out of the fast lane!

Anyone else have problems with Prius drivers thinking it's thier job to keep everyone driving slow in the fast lane? What? to save gas? Seems like this week is WTF

Default Prius, get out of the fast lane!

Anyone else have problems with Prius drivers thinking it's thier job to keep everyone driving slow in the fast lane? What? to save gas? Seems like this week is WTF week. Must of happened 10 times. Why the heck would you be in the fast lane during rush hour when people are constantly going around you?

That Kenman he is funny. I didn't know they allowed the Prius on highways let alone the fast lane.

Some Prius drivers definitely can be self righteous types. Around here most people buy them for the image (you'll see one parked next to a Hummer in the driveway of a multi-million dollar home) but others think they are saving the world. If they slow you down you'll consume less gas and release fewer harmful emissions .

But in reality we just consume and release more as we drop to 3rd and fly on by at WOT.

I do encounter a lot that speed like mad.

Some people are too stupid to know the left lane is the fast lane. Like here in tx, 3/4 of the state thinks the passing is on the right and the cruise lane is on the left. This is what happpens when republicans think that the first of the budget cuts should hit education and healthcare first. You get dumb, sickly,fat people with high stacking sandwiches and low immune systems as well as low IQ's... cruising @ 48mph on the left lane. And never having touched a turn signal cuz there's one hand on the steering wheel, the shoulders hold a phone. The other hand holds a sanwich. Lmfao.

A lot to be said for the heaviest state in the union. To top it off. The state doesn't want to pass any driving while texting laws or phone laws. Man I can rant all day. Lol. But anyway... here in texas, prius' try to egg me on for races. Lmfao.

Unknown it isn't good to hold back. You should express yourself more and not hold it in.

That's how I drive my mom's Prius but at more reasonable 80 mph on 95 and still got like 45 mpg

Part of it might have to do with those damn VA cops and their ridiculous driving laws
