If you are in the passing lane and going the speed limit, thats ok as long
as I can go around you in the slow lane, but thats not always the case.

Most of the time you are createing a rolling road block.

That's part of the art of driving, you have to obey the rules of the road.
To my knowledge, there is not one place in North America, where it is legal
to exceed the posted maximum speed, to pass any vehicle.

That is also something that you have to deal with, because of the reason
given above. It's sort of like the weather, wait five minutes, it will
change.

One of the aspects of the Texas Rode-Rage law is a stiff fine for anyone
"camping out" in the left lane. They also changed the signs on the
Interstates to say "Left lane for passing only" instead of the older, less
direct "Slower traffic keep right", which didn't work at all. Now if only
they would enforce it....

In some places it is illegal to pass on the right except when the car in the
left lane is stopped waiting to make a legal left turn.

Here in Calif, its a rarity for people to drive the posted limit on the
freeway. Even at posted limits of 65, its very common for the flow of
traffic to be 80-85mph and out in the mojave desert, I've been in traffic
flows going 95-100. As a matter of practice, I satay out of the far left
lane and drive the center or right lane a smuch as possible for a variety of
reasons....1)to be courteous to those travelling faster than me and 2)its a
proven fact that by driving in the so called slower lanes, you tend to be
off the CHP's radar screen to give out tickets. Its also fact that if you
drive in places like LA, where the flow of traffic is closer to 80 mph on
free flowing highways, the police will get on their bullhorn and tell you to
move over if you happen to drive the speed limit, but are holding up
traffic, creating a more hazardous condition by bunching up cars. I found in
Florida, the seniors drive 10 mph under the speed limit and hog the left
lane....same thing goes for RVers there too, but the truckers all ran 5-10
mph over the limit.

Something not so obvious. Here in the NorthEast there are many
older highways & roads that DO NOT have New Jersey-inspired "jughandles"
that allow a right-hand U or left-hand turn. Instead . .. and I consider
this a very dangerous design fault . .. one must pull over into the left
"passing" lane in order to reach a left or U turn. Where this isn't the
case I totally agree that slow & steady drivers should always pull over to
the right into the cruising lane.

In Pennsylvania it is illegal to DRIVE in the left lane of a four
lane highway, except to overtake another vehicle, even at the
speed limit. The driver must yield, to the right if signaled by
another driver that wants to pass, although passing on the right
is legal. If you get caught riding in the left lane, except to
overtake another vehicle, it will cost you $136.

NO NO NO FOLKS

Read the F* sign. Most highways have a sign that says

KEEP RIGHT EXCEPT TO PASS.


So KEEP RIGHT, DON'T HOG THE LEFT LANE

Personally I think $136 is too cheap. They should up the fine

Years ago in Australia, (where you drive on the left), there used to be
signs on hills that read "Slow vehicles keep left", so everyone other than
18 wheelers would keep right, because they "weren't slow"

So the signs all got changed to "keep left unless overtaking". Worked for a
while...

Can get a ticket for that.
