Here we call them Left-Lane Bandits.
You were speeding! It's his job in life to make you obey the law!
One of the ones I hate is when there is construction going on. Everybody moves over to the side with the upcoming open lane. After traffic has stopped there is always at least one "I'm the only one who matters" jerk who stays in the other lane, passes 40 cars, and then expects someone to let him cut in. Not me, partner.
After eight years on-and-off driving skiers to the seven local resorts, I decided that most people didn't do stupid things habitually, and sooner or later I was bound to make a mistake too. People here like to say "Utah drivers are the worst in the world!"
I smile and say "You're one of them." When they get offended I mention my above comment.
On the other hand I once stopped at a red light, and, while waiting, looked around. The guy in the car next to me had his seat all the way up so his knees were propped against the steering wheel. Propped on his knees was a magazine. In his left hand was a doughnut. In his right hand was a cup of coffee.
