The left lane is for passing. Slower traffic must yield to faster cars. That means MOVE THE FVCK OVER if someone behind you is going faster than you. If you're going to drive 55mph on a freeway with a 65mph speed limit, GET OUT OF THE LEFT LANE. :| :| :|

I don't give a fvck if it's a repost. This thread should be reposted ad nauseum until those of you who don't obey this law figure it out.

Hell, if you're going to drive 65mph on a freeway with a 65mph speed limit, GET OUT OF THE LEFT LANE.

Right lane's for saving gas. Left lane's for hauling ass.

If you're doing 90 on the left lane, and someone behind is doing 100, please get out of the left lane also. I don't care if you're 25 over the speed limit, you're still slower than the guy doing 100.

Heh, well, yeah, I agree, but I figure if I start ranting about people driving the speed limit I'm going to get flamed by all the people who apparently drive the speed limit :p

I agree. Let him pass you, get his tag number, and report him to local law enforcement. If you need a refresher course why not to speed, CourtTV.com will have something right up your alley.

Yeah, that'll work. "Hey, 911? I was doing 90 on the freeway, and this guy came up behind me..." :p

I would just let the guy pass, solely because he's driving faster. I'm not one to judge when going a certain speed is excessive...but I do care about people holding up the traffic on the left lane. Of course, if you're able to do 90 without slowing down, then my guess is that traffic is not too bad.

Much easier said than done. Most times moving lanes would require you to slow down to speed limit (or at least much closer to speed limit) and then speed up again. I don't agree with this if the lanes are heavy and the traffic is much slower.

In NJ, even if the other person is speeding, you are to now move the fvck over.

Sadly, I haven't seen this new law enforced.

I refuse to do that. If I want to do 65 on a highway that has a 65MPH speedlimit, I'll do it where ever the damn well I please. I may drive 65 in the left lane JUST TO PISS YOU OFF! It's my perogative, so unless you wish to ram me and/or cause and accident, tough noogies sucker.

Not in Illinois. You'll get pulled over for left lane camping these days or be subjected to some serious road rage. Take your massive barge of an SUV and get it in the right lane where it belongs. I average 90mph on the interstates and even I move into the right lane when I'm not passing.

In Los Angeles this is a moot point. Traffic rarely gets above 15 mph anyway.

BTW, it is the "inside lane" or the "number one" lane, there is no such thing as a "fast lane."

You won't be doing 90mph if I'm on the road with you. I make it my personal mission to slow down drivers who drive too fast by driving the speed limit in the left lane.
