A chronically unaware driver who sets up shop in the left lane of any major Florida highway, treating it less like a passing lane and more like a reserved cruise control runway. Left Lane Larry doesn’t discriminate—he might be a local with a “Salt Life” decal and a sunburned arm out the window, or a snowbird tourist in a rented Altima with both hands on the wheel and a wide-brimmed hat still on indoors.
Larry isn’t actively malicious—just militantly oblivious. He ignores flashing lights, honking horns, and the visible rage boiling in his rearview mirror. But try to pass him, and suddenly he becomes offended. He’ll match your speed just enough to box you in, like it’s a personal insult that you dared attempt efficiency.
He’s the kind of guy who would quote the speed limit like scripture while doing 63 in a 70 and holding back a convoy of 17 vehicles. The moment you go around, he speeds up—not to pass anyone, just to punish you for trying.

Common Traits:
Drives a base-model vehicle: Camry, Impala, Altima, or a beige Buick with zero visible dents (but plenty of emotional ones)
Has a college parking decal that expired in 2013
Uses cruise control as a personality trait
Turn signal is optional (and usually left on for several counties)
May sport bumper stickers like:
“I brake for butterflies”
“My other car is a prayer”
Or ironically: “Keep Right Except to Pass”
Windows always up. Volume always low. Seat leaned forward like he's landing a plane.

Cop: Sir, do you know why I pulled you over?
Left Lane Larry: I was doing the speed limit.
Cop: In the passing lane. For 14 exits. With no one in front of you.
Left Lane Larry: I was setting the pace.

Get the Left Lane Larry mug.a term referring to the left Lane warriors a small very dangerous gang of YNs and YCs in the south eastern Minnesota region.
you can usually detect them by there pontiacs and black bandanas although they are not associated with the bloods but rather they are a crips gang set and only use red in there vehicle colors. EX red pontiac
one of the founding members was a left Lanes warrior named landyn M who drove a red Pontiac and was kind of a jerk to everyone and acted like a thug even though he was white.
he was an idiot and he thought that driving in the left Lane was faster. this resulted in a group of ycs and yns making fun of him calling him left Lanes, which due to there gang activity left Lane became there primary gang name. it originated in the secondary/juvenile programs in the area but slowly evolved into more
if you ever hear someone being called a left lanes warrior, bully them sevearly
