It is not enforced. The California Highway Patrol does not even acknowledge that the law exists.

They do, but since seat belt violations and speeding tickets are a greater revenue source, they typically focus on those first. Still, I was once in a car (not the driver) that was pulled over for obstructing traffic.

I was told by a friend (county sheriff deputy) that it also has a lot to do with enforceability. He said that if a driver is doing 65MPH in the left lane of a 65MPH marked freeway and has a line of cars behind him, he CAN write a ticket...but 9 out of 10 times the judge will toss it because they consider obeying the speed limit to be more important.

And the judge should toss it because obeying the speed limit is more important.

It's not an accident that traffic accidents have been on the rise since they removed the national speed limit.

..the judge will toss it because they consider obeying the speed limit to be more important.

That is interesting. The text of the law says "notwithstanding the maxiumum speed limit" The text makes it clear that stopping lane blocking has priority over the speed limits. I guess this is just another case of activist judges making their own law.
