I didn't read whole thread, but I think everyone has it backwards, at least from my perspective. In Canada, correct me Alcatraz, the left lane is strictly for passing only. At least its like that on 401. Canadians laugh at Americans when it snows because most people get sceered and go slow. Canadians know how to deal with the sheot. Am I right Alcatraz? Its cool, I am from Ohio, and we suck at driving, its a free for all til ya get caught, at least in my area.
