Anybody who drives the speed limit in the left lane of an American highway, unless everybody in front of them is doing the same, is a menace, and causing unnecessary risk to themselves and others.
And a police officer would tell you the same thing. You go the speed of the traffic. Heck, even Genoa drives 6 miles over the limit; most people who “obey the law” do so by driving 9 miles or less over the limit.
Simply put — if you drive too slow in the left lane, you will make people upset, and upset drivers are dangerous to you and others. Better to move over, let them pass, and stop worrying about whether other people are “getting away” with something.
It seems people here want to argue it's ok to break the law when that law inconveniences them or they just plain don't like it. In what other circumstances do these FReepers believe it's ok to break laws that they don't like? Do FReepers no longer agree with the premise that we are a nation of laws, or does that apply only when it comes to laws they agree with?
