Wow...there's all kinds of shit going on here that's fucked up not the least of which is the OP's taste in music.
1) To the OP: It's been said before and I'll say it again...The left lane is indeed for passing. You drive in the right lane, close on a car in front of you, move left to pass, pass the car and then MOVE OVER back to the right. No matter how fast you drive in the left-most lane there will ALWAYS be someone who wants to go faster. Treat the left-most lane like an ugly girl's pussy...get in, get out and move on. Don't hang out there. And here's a good tip to help you with your passing to insure courtesy and safety...When you're changing lanes to go around someone, use your side and rear-view mirrors. For example, you're in the right lane...and you're closing on the car in front of you. Check your side view mirror...anyone there? If not, signal, check over your shoulder and change lanes. Accelerate, pass the car and then glance in your REAR-view mirror. When you see the car in the right lane's headlights in your rear-view mirror it is now safe to move back over in front of them. The way you know if you're cutting someone off besides them honking at you is...if they have to brake AT ALL? You cut them off. Regarding your music problem...I highly recommend anything from RUSH prior to 1982.
2) To the motorcyclists: Your thinking was right but, your execution fucking SUCKED! When riding in a pack it's fine to shuffle through lanes like that but for fuck's sake...tighten it up, dirt bags! Group leader...when you change lanes so the group can pass? Um yeah...you don't get to slow down, hold up traffic and have a ham sandwich while the rest of the group shuffles through. #2 rider through the tailgunner...when group leader changes lanes, stay tight. You don't have to be right on his ass (that's LATER)...but have some situational awareness...When you see group leader's signal go on, put yours on and be ready to pass. Make your passes and then get out of the left-most lane.
3) To everyone else: This is not related to this video but, if you're on a road with more than 2 lanes in one direction? Stay out of the RIGHT-most lane, too. The RIGHT-most lane is for people accelerating/decelerating getting on and off the road/highway. If you didn't just get on the road/highway or you're not getting off at the VERY next exit or otherwise having some emergency situation which requires you to drive below the posted speed limit, stay OUT of the RIGHT-most lane.
4) Put down your bullshit distractions, pay full attention to your driving and maybe you'll save a life today. And yeah...for some people, the radio could be distraction. Especially, if it's a Jap built vehicle. Christ those slopes love them some buttons, don't they?
5) Save the manual transmissions...please. Learn how to drive one and own one.
