We hear all the time about the crackdown on aggressive drivers. What nobody talks about is the Lollygaggers. These are the folks that have alllllll the time in the world. They think that whatever speed they choose should be the acceptable rate of travel, and they will do everything in their power to make sure everyone else participates. Known behaviors include: putting in the left lane, riding with their foot on the brake pedal (even during acceleration), stopping at the beginning of a merge lane, and my personal favorite - blocking the left lane.
The blocking is what I consider the worst. They will get right next to the back bumper of the slowest moving car in existence, and then take 27 miles to pass them. Of course, while that's going on, traffic is backing up for miles, and everyone else is turning into the dreaded aggressive driver. At least with aggressive drivers you can get out of their way. Lollygaggers can't even get out of their OWN way!!!!!
There should be special penalties for these folks. Something along the lines of a giant fist coming out of the car behind them and flattening them into a pancake sounds reasonable =)
