Dangerous and selfish driving on E.C. Row. With traffic backed up due to closure of the left lane, arrogant people believing themselves and their errands are more important than what anybody else needs to do, continued to speed up in the left lane in hopes somebody lets them back into through traffic. They believe they are entitled to bypass those whom are considerate & patient. Yes, I was in the car that began to drive down the middle of the road to prevent people from passing us. We were shocked at the stupidity of drivers that continued to pass us by driving on the shoulder. Why do they think they are so much more important than anyone else inconvenienced by the accident?
