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?
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?”
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Some years ago I was in Germany on business. I had a company car and was told about driving on the autobahn:
If you get hit from behind while you’re in the left lane, you are liable and you get a ticket.
If you pass someone on the right you get the ticket.
If you’re in the left lane and you see blinking headlights behind you, you’d better get over to the right.
Easy rules to follow.
the aw implies that the speed limit is too low. Why not just raise the limit?
Should be a bounty on ‘em.
I hate HOV lanes.
I always thought it would be nice when I retire to drive with a couple of older guys in the car (say a first generation Prius) 30 mph going south then north in the HOV lanes during rush hour to screw up the government planners.
“I’m DOING the speed limit!”
If they ride with me, they’ll be charging 10 people a day. I’m constantly making dangerous passing maneuvers to go around slow drivers that loiter..
