However driving in Massachusetts for a number of years has thoroughly convinced me that most people don't know the purpose of the *passing lane*. I know when I took driver ed (in New Hampshire), the use of Passing Lanes was emphasized. Perhaps Massachusetts doesn't make such an emphasis? Perhaps most drivers in Mass haven't taken driver ed? Perhaps most drivers in Massachusets just coun't give a damn?
