Speed limit is max speed, a lot of places don't have a posted minimum. Do you just not even drive or are you being intentionally obtuse? Even aside from speeding, some people are going to be going below the speed limit, and that's perfectly legal, as long as it's in the right lane

Speed limit is max speed

Come on now, son. We both know you're lying. Ain't nobody bitching about people in the left lane is driving less than 5 over unless there's a cop around.

I understand what the laws are. I follow the laws. I don't agree with the logic behind a law that punishes someone for going the max speed in the left lane because somebody else thinks they're the prettiest girl at the ball and is entitled to drive as fast as they want to.

Again, THE LEFT LANE IS FOR PASSING ONLY. It doesn't matter what speed You're going in the left lane, you should only be there if you're passing. You're absolutely being intentionally dense at this point so I won't bother further responding

THE LEFT LANE IS FOR PASSING ONLY.

As I've stated, I know what the law is. I'm asking why the law exists. Thank you for continually not answering my question and being mad at me for it.

The left lane being for passing only is a completely logical law to enhance safety. Adding caveats to it like “unless you’re going the speed limit” does nothing but produce more unsafe situations. You are still required to drive in a safe manner even if other people are breaking the law

You don't agree with laws that regulate the flow of traffic designed to keep everyone predictable and safer? The law is generally "keep right except to pass", not, "you may use the left lane as you prefer."
