[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reason is most of the time traffic here is a mess, so the left lane is used as a driving lane, not a passing lane. Then people get used to it and treat it that way all the time, even if there isn't traffic.

It's different when you leave congested areas. For example I drove to Western PA and Ohio last week, and [b]on the interstates _in rural areas_ people did follow the left for passing only.[/b] But that all goes out the window once you hit congestion like Cleveland or Columbus.

Then there's the complication around here of so many left-lane exits, and the HOV lane being the left-most lane too. For example in 270 near Rockville, and US-50 near 495, the left-most lane is HOV-3 or HOV-2, so I'll be there in our minivan going about 60 full of kids, and people will be riding up to me.. but what am I supposed to do? I'm in HOV, even though it's the left-most lane. In some cases it's even a double-white between HOV and regular lanes, so I can't legally move over anyway. [/quote]

Except for the people with VA plates. They were still oblivious in the left-lane.
