They should make slow drivers get out of the fast lane.

It's been the law here for many years. I am surprised to find out it is just being implemented elsewhere. I thought it was already a national thing. We always did it here out of courtesy without a law in place.

Hi Jim,
How right you are, Jim! That one thing would prevent most accidents on
interstates!
For a brief instant, when I saw this thread, I thought (dreamed!) that the
feds had come to there senses and done something logical like make slower
drivers stay in the right lane as on the Autobahn!
I WAS WRONG! If someone is dumb enough to hit an officer with lights
flashing that you can see from miles away, I don't see what good the law is
going to do, other than generate a pile of money for the states! Sadly
that's what many laws are about now!

I was reading these posts before I read the links and for some reason I thought there was a new law to move over from anybody if they were tailing you for instance. The reason I thought this is because last week I was in my Tracker going only 65 in the left hand lane of a bypass hiway and some dude in a SUV roars up on my back so fast i didnt see him. When I did he filled the mirror and it was obvioulsy trying to intimidate me. I got pissed off and held my ground. He ended up roaring by me on the rite and pretending to swipe me by moving in and away repeatedly a he passed me, then he starts blasting his horn so I blasted mine. During these times of economic uncertainty the road rage thing has gotten alot worse. I guess I should be more careful and listen to assholes that do that and just move over, next time they might decide to unload with a mac10. I started fantisizing about mounting a couple 50 cals up front and building a magazine to hold a couple thousand rounds before I realized there are no 50 cals let alone thousands of rounds for one, readily available anywhere other than maybe Mexico around about now.
I always clear for E vehicles and move to the opposite lane for stopped police, wreckers, breakdowns, etc. Been doing that for years.

In most states the law has always been: slow traffic keep to the right. Now in Texas, that means anyone doing less than 85 MPH, which is 20 over the limit is looking to get run over or shot. I used to run with the left lane crowd but now I"m retired and happy with the right lane crowd going slow at 70. Funny how everything slows down as the years slip by...

Marsh,
You go where you look. Just ask any biker who tries to avoid a
pothole then hits it because he was watching it. Those flashing red
lights have eye suck, especially at night, especially for impaired
drivers.

Jim, they will not write you a ticket for obstructing traffic if you
are going the speed limit in the left lane and passing someone.
The law says "keep right except to pass". It's not a matter of speed.
And they WILL write a ticket for going over the speed limit (beyond
the normal threshold of enforcement, of course). Just ask the West
Virginians, Marylanders, and Pennsylvanians that get nailed every day
on northern Virginia freeways.
Of course, keeping right except to pass makes NO sense on either a
congested freeway or on a freeway with more than two lanes in one
direction, where doing so will decrease throughput and therefore
increase congestion. And where is the boundary between the rural case
and the urban case? That isn't defined, either.
I've never seen the enforcement you are talking about, by the way.
Must be one of those country cops down there in Richmond.

limit on the six-lane Dulles Greenway and has driven by a (state) cop

I was doing 85 in the slow lane between San Antonio & El Paso (limit is
80 on I10)
and was being passed as if I was standing still.
As for moving left, I always have as a courtesy and for safety when
passing police or broken down cars & trucks.
In FL if you can't move left when coming upon an emergency vehicle on the
right
shoulder you have to drop 20 mph below posted speed. It may save a cop's
or tow truck driver's life.

In California, if your towing, do not drive in the high occupancy
lane. You'll be ticketed.
Cannot go over 55mph since your towing.
One person was sighted for driving over 55 and driving in the
commuter/high occupancy lane.
