    It isn’t the fast lane, it’s the PASSING LANE. If you are in that lane and you aren’t passing, YOU are the problem.

    Edit: And if you are going 2167 mph in a 55 and not passing, you are STILL THE PROBLEM.

      I meant passing lane. But I was just asking the question because nowhere in the United States are you allowed to exceed the speed limit legally…even to keep up with traffic. Was just funny that he suggested someone was doing something illegal that prevented him from doing something illegal.

          All the people saying move right just want to drive in the left lane at illegal speed. Crazy lack of self reflection.

          I’m not saying don’t move right… just saying the guy used the law to say you need to move over(so he can break the law)… and that this was the law… which it obviously isn’t. JUust thought it was funny.

            The law specifically states that you must yield the left lane to faster traffic. Every few months the highway patrol gets real energetic about enforcing it too. Hall monitors are rewarded with fat fines.

        You can say that, but there are practicalities here. Where I live, it is highly unusual for someone to be going the speed limit on the freeway. It is completely unfeasible for cops to try to do anything to curtail that on an individual basis, so only the people doing truly dangerous things tend to get pulled over. I just play zebra and enjoy blending into all the other people going 15 over.
