I thought that you could be ticketed for riding the passing lane and impeding the flow of traffic.
You can Cecily but honestly... when is the last time you saw a slow driver ticketed for impeding traffic?
I'm a firm believer that more accidents are caused by slow drivers than those that are caused by speeders. For example... slow drivers have their heads up their ***es and don't care about anyone but themselves which causes those that have been trapped behind such jerks to become impatient and rush thus resulting in an accident.
I was in San Francisco a few years ago during the time people were shooting those drivers they'd become frustrated with. Perhaps you remember? Anyway, I noticed that whenever I put my turn signal on the drivers behind me would back off and let me in instead of speeding up to close the gap. I think they were all afraid they might get shot if they acted like the person I quoted above; I don't know? But I have to say, courteous drivers make traveling so much more enjoyable.
If a person isn't in a hurry then stay out of the way of those that are in a hurry. Stop trying to be a liberal by forcing everyone else to live according to your (generally speaking) unique criteria.
Aaaaah, just some thoughts.
Have a great day.
