get into the slow lane please!!!

i hate going into the left lane only to be stuck up in traffic because someone in a prius is going 50km instead of 80km.

i know you want to save gas but please stop slowing down traffic. This can be said about alot of drivers but some reason most these people seem to be in a prius.

I have noticed that the people who buy the "eco cars" (Prius, Insight, Leaf, etc) do this a lot.

I think it's a combination of things.....the vehicle tells them they are being more and more eco-friendly/green when they drive this way, so it's like a goal to get more "leaves on their display" in the case of the Leaf.....the other piece of it is that their vehicles even at full throttle have a tough time going fast enough to be in the left lane, so they don't even bother trying.

You know, can't look cool, can't sound cool, can't go fast, so go even slower to see how much gas we can save.

I've been passed by a couple people in Prius's and I generally am passing everyone else when i drive... i just figured they didn't want to be seen in the prius any longer than they had to

Its the prius and subaru station wagons that are the absolute worst.

Drive a Pious is a political statement. Driving slow is an "in your face" disresepct of your driving freedom and is intended to frustrate you into their political thinking.
Ever notice every Pious driver was hit with an ugly stick?
They can shove their tie-dye shirts, beads and Birkenstocks up the ash.

G.D. Prius Of S#!+ drivers !!!

I get stuck behind 2 or 3 of them every day on my 42 mile commute across the Valley of the Sun (Metro Phoenix).

They poke along in the car pool lane at 10-15 mph under, like they are saving the planet by holding all traffic to below the limit. I roll up on their bumpers in my lifted gas guzzling Chevy Silverado and fill thier mirrors with my grill. After they piss themselves, they move over to let me by, or to survive a monster truck crushing death.

Arizona Prius drivers, go the F!@# back to Kalifornia !!! You Commie M.F.ers... Stay here and we'll recycle YOU !!!

PRIUS HATER YA THINK ???
