Passing in the TURN LANE

What the f? I work in an office off of Commerce Road and the entrance to my office is about 100 yards over a hill near the loop. In that area there is a turn lane in the middle of the road. Drivers out here seem to think it is okay to pass me in the turn lane when I turn right out of my office... despite the fact that they were not even over the hill when I turned. Where are the cops who should be enforcing the no-passing rule? Where are the cops who should be enforcing the NO SPEEDING rule? I can''t believe drivers could be in such a hurry that they can''t slow down to the speed limit (55) to come back to Athens.

It scares me every time it happens to me or the car in front of me, because one of these days someone is going to get in the turn lane to turn, and they''re going to get plowed by this crazy driver! Maybe the cops will keep a better eye out then...

Its always a fun surprise as well when exiting a bus and crossing the street... I''ve nearly been picked off several times because impatient drivers can''t wait 30 seconds behind the bus.
