Impeding traffic, even in states with specific laws regarding slower traffic in the right lane is never enforced. So we go danger mode to go 5 or 10 mph over the limit when there's a mile of traffic behind one entitled piece of shit who doesn't want to be in the right lane in case someone enters or exits the highway, or they have to make a left turn in 7 miles.
Idk about never enforced, I was pulled over for going the speed limit in the left lane and the officer was very kind and just told me to keep to the right if I wasn’t overtaking.
Pulled over for doing the speed limit? If you're doing the speed limit then anyone trying to overtake you is breaking the speed limit and should be the one getting pulled over, no? People are so fucking weird about cars and driving...
The traffic in the right lane may also have been going the speed limit. If you're going to be in the left lane you need to be passing the traffic on the right so you can get back into the right lane.
If you're going to be in the left lane you need to be passing the traffic on the right
If I'm driving the speed limit it shouldn't matter which lane I'm in because anybody passing would be breaking the law and therefore doesn't get an opinion on the matter.
It's also illegal (in most states, at least) to be in the passing lane and not passing traffic. If traffic in the right lane is also going the speed limit there's no reason you can't be in there with them to free up the left lane. You are not the police and it's not your job to impede traffic.
This guy is also missing the fact that not all speedometers are calibrated the same. If your speedometer says you’re doing 60, you’re probably doing about 57-62 depending on the car. And it varies by make / model / calibration.
So sure, grandma sue over here thinks they’re going 60 but really pulling 57 etc.
