40 states have “Keep Right” laws. Many of them have “must yield” laws that require slower traffic to move to the right lane if faster traffic approaches from behind. A few states have exceptions where you can use the middle lane temporarily in areas where there is a lot of merging traffic.
There are a shocking number of people that cruise in the center lane slower than prevailing traffic. I don’t get that at all.
Stay away from /cars and /roadcam. You’re right, there’s definitely a breed of infallible road warriors that rationalize lots of reasons for ignoring the Keep Right rules.
Exactly. Unless you’re an on-duty officer of the law, it’s not your job to enforce the speed limit. And if you are, please pull people over who violate the “keep right except to pass” rule.
I frequently drive between Philadelphia and the DC area on I-95, and it’s like Bizarro Earth as far as lanes go: the slowest cars are always in the left-most lanes with people passing on the right at 25 mph or more over the limit. My favorite is people who get on the express lanes (which you pay extra to use) and then go 10 mph under the limit.
…the frequency at which i blow past traffic backed up three lanes to my left while cruising miles upon miles along an empty right lane is a testament to the idiocy of american lane discipline…
Dude, I thought I was the only one who noticed this, coming from LA!! What the fuck guys, move over!!!
Funny thing is they keep trying to stop me splitting lanes, or honking, when I’m literally 5mph faster than them in almost stopped traffic. Cry about it, I’ll see you at home! Lol
Exactly.
Keep Right Except To Pass.

These folks frustrate me to no end. Nothing makes me more excited than expanded public transit so I don’t need to deal with those jackasses
