Why are people in this region left lane campers?

This right here is why OP. So many idiots that think like this. This person has never had an independent thought in their life.

If you are in the left lane and not actively passing and no one is behind you, that is a violation. If the person behind you is doing 80, you are still in violation for travelling in the left lane.

You would get a ticket for blocking the left lane. It would be open and shut. You are not actively passing and in the left lane. That the car behind you is speeding is not a defense to the left lane issue. If there was no one behind you -- you could not be in the left lane if not actively passing. Indeed that is where most of the tickets for this violation come from. People like you driving the speed limit in the left lane. Trooper pulls up behind you and it is an easy ticket. You just do not get to be in that lane in Virginia unless actively passing.

Not true. In the DMV the left lane is basically always faster than the right lane, so you are indeed continually passing even when "just" going at the speed limit. Take your reckless road rage somewhere else.

When you have 2-4 lanes bumper to bumper, no, it's not rational to leave one empty, especially when the right lane isn't able to travel at the full speed limit either. I almost never see someone clogging up the left lane by driving at exactly the speed limit on 270 or 495, just really heavy traffic where nobody gets to go as fast as they want in any lane.

You must never drive outside of rush hour.

I prefer to avoid 270 and the beltway on my free time! But even early or late when traffic is lighter, I've never seen an empty left lane.

Certainly not in VA. That’s the default driving lane.

I like to arrive at my destination alive. Raging incels like you should not endanger other drivers with their reckless road rage.

You are behaving way more emotionally than the PP. Just stay right, pass left, and stop trying to play highway vigilante. You’re going to get someone killed by ignoring the rules of the road.

You are sticking to the right lane, right?

Why? The right lane is often going 10-20 below the speed limit, so of course I will be in the left lane.

No, the right lane is the default lane. You start there. If you need to pass someone, you do it quickly, and then move back over.

You were really never taught this? Where did you learn to drive?

This does not happen unless traffic is very heavy, which is not the situation we’re discussing at all.

The funny thing is how you invoke a traffic rule (left lane passing) just so that you can break even more traffic rules yourself (reckless felony speeding). I will just go the speed limit and do my part to keep ALL of us safe.

But please do go see a therapist about that incel road rage.

The entire point of this thread is that the left lane is not “basically always faster than the right lane,” because of the drivers who have displayed their selfish idiocy earlier in the thread.

Nope. Switching to the right lane would slow me down 10-20 mph, just so you can aggressively tailgate the car in front of me.

Please see a therapist to get your road rage under control before someone gets killed.

The only one enraging people, and increasing the risk of violence are hall monitors like you. I move over and let the idiots drive as fast as they want. My life is more important than to play road block. They get theirs in the end. I saw some idiot get pulled over just a few minutes ago. The cops are out today!

The problem in the DMV is not that we have too many law-abiding drivers who observe the speed limit, but rather that we have too many reckless idiots who want to re-create an action scene from "Fast & Furious."

DP here. In most (all?) states, using the left lane not to pass is considered aggressive driving, punishable by fines.
