[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In Virginia it is illegal to be in the left lane unless actively passing.  Troopers do give tickets for this.[/quote]

On the beltway, it's hard to not be actively passing in the left lane. Any trooper pulling anyone over on 495, 66, 95, or 395 is looking for a pretext for a stop[/quote]

Actively passing means passing.  If you are going the same speed as the car in the next lane you are not passing and need to get out of the left lane.[/quote]

The left lane is almost always 'actively passing.' People who drive faster filter left. 495 isn't a two lane rural road where the left lane can just sit empty [/quote]

If people are passing you on the right then you are not actively passing.

If it takes you more than a few seconds to pass you are not actively passing.

Seems like people in VA are just never taught how to pass on the highway. They don’t understand the concept. [/quote]

This is the way it is enforced. [/quote]
