Wow. I always wondered if the left lane hogs were clueless or passive-aggressive. Guess guilty on both counts.
When I first got my NY drivers license, I was pulled over in Connecticut by a very professional State Trooper. He informed me that it was illegal to be in the left lane if I wasn't passing. At the time I didn't understand the concept. 38 years later, I understand that it helps traffic flow remain safe and efficient.
Why be a dick and disrupt traffic flow?

Here`s my take on this , as long as I am doing the speed limit I feel I can ride in any lane I want to, Call it the fast lane but does not give you the right to Speed over the posted speed limit... Emergency vehicles I merge but just because someone wants to go faster than the posted speed limit does not constitute me moving around just so he can go faster...

I notice there's no LEO's chiming in. Here in Ct, they can ticket your dumb *** for going over the speed limit, even to pass. It'll stick. Most don't, but if the quota's low they will.
And I didn't say I did the speed limit in the left lane. But tailgaters **** me off. So I move over after they pass.

This is funny...
Why is only one law being cited?
I understand the no left lane blocking, **** aspect...
But why is it not ok to break that law, and you are all up in arms about it??? But going 20-30 or more over, is okay? That's as big a hazard.... Your reaction time is slowed... Your vision is less... But all of you are ok with it...
I've learned my lesson.., I'm a left lane guy.... But I AM going faster than everyone else....I am always the one passing... Very seldom do I get passed.... But if I see it, I DO, get over!!
But why is no one made at ******* tailgaters... Speed demons and jerks...
Not if you doing 55 in a 55 in the left.... But say, your doing 75-80 in a 55 and get get a giant douche that is all up on you tailgating, swerving.... Going nuts... Cause, frankly you didn't see his as you are passing people effectively.... How come none of you are pizsed at that guy?
Prolly conveniently because you are that guy...
Don't forget... Life us a two way street...
Left Kane speed ****'s, move the efff over...
Speed demons... Slow the eff down!!!
There is considerable consideration and common sense in both instances!!!

drivers suck everywhere, why would you want to put yourself in a situation that makes it more dangerous for you? i personally like to be in my own little pocket when i'm on the road. i don't like people anywhere near me. if i have to speed up to do it, then i will (not 20 or 30 though). if it means i have to slow down just a tad to let that cluster get on up the road, then i'll do that too. if you're the only one there, there's no reason not to be in the right lane.....

In many states this (passing on right) is illegal and a ticketable offense although rarely enforced. I always move over to the right lane when I see someone approaching from behind.
I learned the value of this while living in Germany back in the 80's.

To the guys who posted that they "always" ride/drive in the left lane.... sorry but you're an idiot. Ask any experienced LEO and he'll tell you, you are 3x more likely to get a speeding ticket in the left lane. Stay in the right lane. Go as fast as you like... pass on the left and get back in the right lane. I learned this from a state cop buddy about 15 years ago and haven't gotten a ticket since. Oh, and I go 80+ about all the time on bike or car when I'm on the highway.

Always on the right, most jackasses are on the left, and I always end up ahead of them, make much better time, and don't have anyone climbing up my butt.

the reason no one is mad about the rest of those things in your scenarios because this discussion is not about them. it really doesn't matter if someone is doing 20 or 30 over the speed limit, if you are in the left lane blocking their movement, you are wrong. sure they're in the wrong also, but that doesn't change the fact that you're wrong.
