“It’s really very simple: if you’re not passing someone, stay in the right-hand lane.”

Tell that to people trying to merge onto the freeway.

Huh?... If you are saying that you will break the new law by being courteous and *safely* moving over to allow merging traffic, then I strongly disagree that you get a ticket for that, especially if you are traveling faster than the merging traffic (therefore passing). Also, keep in mind that the merging traffic MUST yield to the highway traffic, NOT the other way around. If you are in the right hand lane and some one is overtaking you in the passing lane, you should NOT change lanes. The merging driver must yield and wait until it is safe to merge.

Agreed.

Truth is being out of the way is best, period. Regardless of stupid hand-wringing laws.

The rule still stands. If someone is trying to merge, I’ll move into the left-hand lane, because (typically) - I’m passing them.

Or - perhaps I’ve missed your point...
