between here and the columbia river it is just pretty much strait aways with not many exits because it is all farm land and stupid idiots will stay in the left lane going 65 because they don't want to turn off cruise control.
You are correct in the terms of safety, a highway patrol person may cite a driver going to slow in the left lane. However, each and every time that ticket can be fought and won IF, and this is the key, IF the driver is doing the posted maximum.In the left lane of any highway, the fastest speed you are legally entitled to due is the posted maximum. That means if the Max Speed Limit is 65, that is the maximum speed you can do. If a person in the right lane is doing 65, you have no reason to pass them.
If anyone had bothered to actually learned how to drive in this country, the signs say, "Slower traffic, keep right".
I've interviewed a couple of police officers for some public affairs programs, and this subject always comes up. Overwhelmingly, the police have told me that if someone is in the far left lane impeding traffic, even if they are doing the speed limit, they will be more likely to pull that person over. It may not be for speeding, but they'll look for something else.
Their reasoning is this: They are there for the safety of the motorists. A driver in the far left lane impeding traffic is more of a hazard to roadways than someone who is going with the flow of traffic. Even if that traffic is 10 miles over the posted limit. That person is making it more likely that an accident will occur and cause harm to other drivers, just because they are being a douche.
Now, you have to keep in mind we're talking about Atlanta interstates here, with 6 to 8 lanes of travel going in each direction. And the posted limits are jokes, and the cops know it. 50mph on an interstate? You'll get your ass run down by everyone if you do only that.
WTF are you going on about?da man does this...drives slow in the fast lane forcing people to pass in the right lane....his rational...o yea he has one..they all do....its the tru lane....hes doing the speed limit...now this is a major problem with me...causing me to drive most of the time....if you fuss...he will get over in the right lane for maybe 10 miles then back into the left and it does not bother him when people pass on the right....while i think its a highly dangerous thing to do....o great now the fight is on...he is now saying you do this to clear the lane for oncoming traffic coming off the ramps.....i mention he does this in the middle of bum fuck wv where there are no ramps coming on....
but this is a major thing....i would love some reason that he is totally wrong other than the fact he is....
and he likes to drive thru parking lots but take shortcuts thru parked cars...another thing i am nutzo over....he has had 3 accidents in parking lots...no he is not on the short bus....matter of fact he is at the high end of the iq scale....doesnt drive worth a shit!
to be fair and balanced: he will point out i have had perhaps 14 auto accidents....and had to go to driving school for tickets...speeding and passing on a dble yellow....and that he has never been on a high risk policy....
all valid points but i still dont drive slow in the fast lane.....or in the slow lane

It does not, however, alter the fact that the maximum speed a person can travel in the left most lane of any multi-lane highway is the posted maximum. Those traveling slower then the maximum must move to the right.
Now, some states (and I agree with this law) will cite drivers for driving to slow even in the right hand lane (usually 10 mph slower then the maximum) for safety reasons.
Speeding is a pet peeve of Mine. I don't really mind the 5 mph over the max as that really is close enough to the flow of traffic that it posses no real danger. But if someone is traveling 80 in a 55 or even a 65...they pose a real threat to the people around them.
The sad truth is that maximum MPH are OUTDATED. Newer cars with anti-lock brakes better handling and crumple zones are FAR more than able to handle higher speeds. The max MPH on a highway should be more like 85-90 MPH.
Like everyone is passing you? THEY ARE!!! Get the fuck in the far right and let people get the fuck around you. Personal peeve.

When you live in a little back woods town like I do, this is something you NEVER have to worry about. If there's more than three cars at a stop sign, it's a traffic jam...Like everyone is passing you? THEY ARE!!! Get the fuck in the far right and let people get the fuck around you. Personal peeve.

I find the tractors and manure trucks a bitch, though.
