If you make driving in the left lane a ticketable offense, who should you ticket; the guy driving the speed limit in the left lane, or the guy going 10 miles over trying to get around him?

I say ticket the slower guy, but I doubt that would hold up.

Keep your cell phone handy, and call smoky to report an aggressive driver endangering other vehicles. Provide license plate number and identifying information.

In TX you’ll receive a ticket if you ride the left lane. It’s considered a passing only lane.

The ticketing sounds realistic. After all, a driver in the far right lane who drives too slow is ticketed for causing a traffic hazard.

That’s been rehashed in court countless timea. Precdent is firm: Slower traffic must keep right UNLESS IT IS ALREADY MOVING AT THE MAXIMUM LEGAL SPEED , in which case (in Texas at least) it has no obligation to move and cannot be cited.
