Left-lane campers - scourge of humanity!
Oh boy, I doubt hubs is aware of this law, lol. Altho in his defense he is usually speeding in the left lane and folks still want to pass (80 plus MPH)
According to the data provided, 5,327 people charged under that overall code section paid the new $100 fine before a court date; 2,185 were found guilty; and 2,570 were found guilty in absentia. …OK: I did not hear about any suspension of habeas corpus. Is Northam doing this of his own accord?
When I was driving long haul the joke went, “when I retire I plan to buy a big RV and drive slow in the left lane.”
I hate left lane malingerers.
Around where I live, the speed limit is 55. If you are driving 75 in the left lane, numerous drivers will pass you on the inside lane.
I saw a bumper sticker once that I have always wished I had bought. It read, “Why am I the only one who knows how to drive?”
I liked Gallagher’s idea of having a gun that would shoot these arrows with flags on the end that say, “Stupid!”, everytime you see someone do something stupid on the road.
Then after somebody accumulates about a dozen of these “Stupid!” flags, the cop pulls them over.
Oklahoma passed one of these stupid laws also. The right lane is so rough most places you cant even drive the speed limit. Another pitiful ploy to raise nickel and dime revenue.
Oklahoma, where the roads all suck and we complain.

Down here, we have the LL Campers and the LL Vigilantes. The latter will actually move into an empty lane just to block faster traffic. When you talk to one of them, they tell you that the speed limit is the speed limit and no one should ever drive over it....
...until you get a chance to pass one and then they speed up to try and stay ahead.
I fully support this law!!
The Maryland law deserved to fail. It was just flat stupid.
It fined drivers who remained in the third lane of a three lane road yet did nothing for the left lane of a two lane road.
I don’t get bothered by slower drivers in the third lane as much as I do in the second lane of two.
9 times out of 10 the libertarians will pass on the right even when the left lane is open.
Thank god for this law. I despise the selfish brain-dead morons who think the left lane is for travel, and don’t give the slightest regard to how many cars stack up behind them in traffic.
They chug along beside a semi or slow mover in the right lane and form an idiotic rolling roadblock. Glad to see them paying some cash for their stupidity.
I remember that but cop pulled him over and give him a ticket for being an a-hole! It’s a bit not but stupid speech to text gets me again...
Whatever the number is; it’s not enough. I think a number of passive-aggressive people intentionally drive in the left “passing” lane merely to slow up faster drivers.
“when I retire I plan to buy a big RV and drive slow in the left lane.”.....with the right-turn signal going LoL
The fine is $250
There are lots of left lane slowpokes on the Fairfax County Parkway.
We passed a law just like it. I can tell the difference.
Back when I lived in Florida, we’d refer to it as the “Claude Pepper Lane”, with all the blue hairs driving slowly in it.
