This has been hashed and rehashed. Court after court has affirmed that anyone going the maximum allowable speed by law has the right to the left lane as legally it cannot be slower traffic. So when you see the sign that says slower traffic, be aware that is a conditional statement based on the speed limit, not s relative comparison between a speeder and a non-speeder.
Show us one. The left lane is the PASSING lane, and nobody has a "right" to it. I've seen some seriously dumb crap posted on FR, and this just about takes the cake. Muahaha, what an idiotic statement.
Yep. Odd that this is often too complex for some to understand.
Right.
People have the right to do alot of things. But civilized society functions on unwritten rules and common courtesy.
I don’t think anyone is arguing you should move over for somebody speeding.
But, if you are going 55 in the left lane when 10 cars behind you are going 65 in a 70 so they don’t hit you, move over.
You are impeding traffic, and those people need to be ticketed for not using the right lane as slower-moving.

The reverse is also true. Depends on the state. The law is not about speed. It is about relative speed. If you are in the passing lane and someone is on your tail and wants to pass, and you are not passing another car, you are breaking the law - in some states.
Simple courtesy might be called for, even if there is a legal argument you can attempt due to a conflict between the two laws.
Something wrong with simple courtesy or are you more special than everyone else on the road?
Something we should know that gives you a special right to block traffic just so you're not bothered with the hassle of the other vehicles traveling in the right lane?
CO law says the driver in the left has to move right, except to pass. Speed of either the 'lane hogger' or the driver who wants to pass doesn't enter into the decision.
