[quote=SAM2][quote=Anonymous]Is there some law I'm missing that indicates the speed limit for the left lane is above 55 mph in area with a 55 mph speed limit?  And how many cars do you have to pass before you are just traveling in the left lane?  [/quote]
Well, I'm thinking of I-95 north of DC, where the speed limit is 65, not 55.  But regardless, I don't see what the speed limit has to do with anything here.  My frustration with left-lane squatters has nothing to do with what the law allows or doesn't allow.  Yes, I suppose you're within your legal rights to drive even 45 mph (10 miles [i]below[/i] the speed limit) in the left lane.  But that's a jackass move to block other cars.  And it's still a jackass move no matter whether you or the other cars are going below or above the speed limit.  Would it kill you to show some common courtesy and let other cars pass?

It's very similar to how some people get on the Metro and just stop right inside the doors, blocking everyone else behind them from getting onto the train.  Just like you in the left lane of the highway, there's no law requiring those Metro riders to move to the center of the car, and I suppose they're within their legal rights to stop and stand wherever they want.  But they're still being inconsiderate jerks when they do that.

Please don't be that person.  Thank you.
