[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The left lane isn't always meant to be a passing lane, OP.[/quote]

If it's not a turning lane, slower traffic keeps right. Period. [/quote]

If you're cruising in the left lane and there's nobody behind you, fine. But if someone's coming up, you move over right. There's no excuse. [/quote]

Unless the right lane is crowded and you are still going at a faster speed and therefore passing those in the right lane.  I can't tell you how many times someone who wants to go 90MPH is up my butt when I am passing those in the right lane.  [/quote]

You should speed up to pass and then resume your cruising speed after you’re back in the right lane. Basic driving etiquette here.

Speeding up to accommodate the guy going 90 is not basic driving etiquette. He is engaging in illegal reckless driving. [/quote]

Even if there isn’t someone approaching you shouldn’t linger in the left lane. You quickly pass and move over. Basic etiquette. Where did you learn how to drive?

As I said, the right lane is crowded and[b] I'm consistently passing the cars in the right lane[/b].  I am not going to speed up to 90 so I can get in front of the cars and I'm not going to slow down until someone lets me in.  I continue at my speed and when there is enough space to get into the right lane, I go in.  [/quote]

Going 60 mph in a 55? Sure...

Where did you learn to drive? When?

I'm going 73 to 75 in a 65.  I learned to drive in NY in 1976 and I haven't been in an accident for at least 25 years.  No tickets either.  This usually happens near an interstate exit when I am not getting off.  There is congestion to get off the exit and I am going quite a bit faster than those in the right lane.  I'm not speeding up to 90 or even 80 to accommodate the speed demons.   [/quote]

You move to the left lane every time you pass by an exit? If it's happening a lot to you then the issue really is you.
