[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]GET OUT OF THE WAY.  If you're not passing  in the left lane and there are people behind you, move over. Why is it so hard? The amount of times you drive and get stuck by someone going slow in the left lane is infuriating.  It causes sooooo much traffic when people cannot pass because some moron is going slow in the left lane or is going the same speed as other cars and is creating a wall.  Get the heck outta the way. You also cause higher risk for accidents, because now everyone has to weave in an out of traffic to get around your a$$ since you're clogging up the flow of traffic.  People around here probably have the lowest driving IQ I've ever seen anywhere in this country. It's worse here than LA, NY, and Chicago.  Why are there so many oblivious people around here in the roads? Lack of testing by states and DC? [/quote]

No! On the beltway the speed limit is generally 65 and traffic is dense. Everyone in the right lane is going 65 and everyone in the left lane is already going 75. And you're the reckless tailgating a$$hat who wants everyone to move over so you can go 100?![/quote]

And yet the actual speed limit on the beltway is 55. [/quote]

Doesn’t matter.  The obligation to yield to faster moving traffic is independent of the speed limit.  Self-appointed speed limit enforcers in the left lane create dangerous conditions.[/quote]

Wrong. If the speed limit is 55 and traffic in the left lane is already going 75, nobody is required to pull over to the right so you can go 95. They need to arrest reckless speeders like you.[/quote]

See my post.  It is not legal in Virginia to travel in the left lane.  [b]Only when actively passing.  [/b]So yes you are required to get out of that lane unless you are actively passing someone.

Wrong again. People in the left lane are continually passing the slower traffic in the right lane, so traveling in the left lane is exactly what's required.

You think you're smart but you make no sense. Nobody going the speed limit needs to pull over to the right so you can break the law. That's like insisting that other customers hold open the door for you so you can rob the supermarket even faster.[/quote]

The law says actively passing.  That means passing right then -- not a car up ahead or just passing a car and staying in the lane.  [/quote]
