.....the left lane makes you are target for median missiles going the other way.

A lot of that on I-24. And hubby looooooves the left lane. He's usually NOT slower-moving traffic. LOL!
Me, I'm one of those in the right lane he'd be passing.

On Rte84 near me, if you aren't doing 73 (in a 65 zone) everyone is passing you, even little old 'blue hairs' that can barely see over the steering wheel of their Thunderbirds.
Heck, even the cops pass by with a disgusted look.

I am never the slow mover but the left lane limits your options on a median missile. Two vehicles traveling in oposite directions at 80 mph each have a closing speed of 160. There is no time to slow and clear to get back to the right. In the right lane I can leave the highway and go for a ride in the forest ; )
