Some states cracking down on left-lane slowpokes
yes, it's a fact of life so just accept it. and whether others are speeding or not it shouldn't be your or my matters. to me if the cars behind me is faster than me, then i move right. if he gets pulled over, sucks to be him. if he doesn't, i am not going to cry about it 
in that sense, whether it's at legal speed or not isn't part of the equation anymore

I am not anti speeding, but we have a ton of idiots on the road.
Its everyone problem when I am going down southfield fwy and someone is doing 90 and cuts over 1 second too late and smokes the corner of someones car that WAS doing the speed limit and flips them over.
I move over when someone wants to go faster, that is fine, but it does not mean it's ok to roll 90 in a 70 either unless you can put it in writing you will only hurt yourself...........
Speaking of, we just had an idiot doing 70 in a 50 in Michigan, hit a tanker, blew it the F up and did $2 million in damage to a bridge.......

Slower traffic should keep right.

Democrats vs Republicans, Dogs vs Cats, Import vs. Domestic, Left-Lane Speeders vs Left-Lane Squatters (I fall into the 1st category, btw).
The debate will continue until the speed limit laws change.

This past July 4th heading back from NorCal on I5. I saw the most ridiculous driving behavior... This guy in a civic was following another car. The 2 didn't move right so I had to pass on the right. I decided to show my passengers how some people mindlessly camp on the left lane but will speed up if you try to pass them. So I come up along side the civic then I tap my gas. The guy in the civic taps his gas too, you can see the car lurch forward. I do it again, he taps his gas again too. I tap my gas 2 more times and he does it too, WTH??!! All the while, he's oblivious to me and keeps closing in on the car in front. He was less than a car length from the car in front when I stopped the demo and continue on my way.
This happened to me two days ago. I was on the highway and I rarely speed in the hybrid. I was today though and doing 80 plus in the fast lane. For the most part people are being polite and moving to the right even the ones I flick my lights on too.
A new Civic is in the fast lane seemingly doing 55 mph. I'm coming fast, flash lights the person doesn't get it, I turn them on and flash, no reaction. Finally this slow numbnut moves over to the right.
Do you know what this asshat does after I pass?
This asshat goes RIGHT BACK IN THE FAST LANE with NO SIGNAL right back at 55 MPH like its their right to be in the fast lane.
WHy the hell would u go BACK into the fast lane?

I counted on the way down to kentucky that it was like 8 to 1 with the 8 being those that I should have not moved for because all they did was F me.
The 1 would be the people that smoked past me.
The thing that pisses me off is those 8 will ride my *** like I am going slow (75 while towing), and I know what its like so I move and I get F'd everytime. Maybe some of those left lane campers are tired of the retards screwing them over.

How much gas and brakes did I waste because I moved for someone that wanted to pass me, that only ended up sticking me behind a semi!
If your going to pass, hit the god damn gas and move the F on it, then I feel like my energy for moving was worth it because I do not want to hold anyone up.

I feel the same as you.So, to put it in plain and simple English, the left lane, legally or not, has become, in effect, the speeders' lane. The speed limits, like the no-cell-phone-use-laws, are so widely broken that they have become, in effect, unenforceable, and speeding and cell-phone-use is a fact of life.
Left lane is my very favorite lane. Yup, once the whole pack/ fleet of vehicles are moving at 25 mph over the speed limit in the left lane the cops can't do much about it. They just sit there and watch you fly by....yes, it's a fact of life so just accept it. and whether others are speeding or not it shouldn't be your or my matters. to me if the cars behind me is faster than me, then i move right. if he gets pulled over, sucks to be him. if he doesn't, i am not going to cry about it
in that sense, whether it's at legal speed or not isn't part of the equation anymore

Funny thing about in my area is that, on a state road I often see cars on the right lane move faster than the cars on the left lane. It's like backwards. So I end up joining the right lane traffic cause they were going at least 10 mph faster. I finally spot one or two drivers traveling slow in the left lane holding up all cars behind them.

MD State Police ticket motorist for going too slow.

The funny thing was the news followed with a story about Maryland's $700M budget deficit. Now I understand.

Around where I drive, it would probably difficult to enforce a keep right law. People move right as CHP approaches to let them pass then move right back left to blocking traffic. They'll have a hard time catching someone in the act.
I don't know about you all, but in my driving lately a few people are starting to get the message about keeping right; though still a LONG way to go. Mon - Thurs & late nights seems when there are drivers who are conscious of their driving. Once in a while, I do see a driver keep right after they see me do the same for a faster car. Most people's driving behavior is by imitation.
