  • It’s very simple, the left lane is for passing and the right lane is for not passing. It’s clearly defined as such.

    40mph semi passing a heavier/slower 35mph semi, while annoying at times, is a completely correct use of the lane. As is someone going the speed limit passing someone else going 5 under. A 250mph Lambo passing a 220mph Porsche is also using the lane correctly.

    Speeding is completely separate. If someone is speeding then they might get a speeding ticket, but it will not matter at all which lane they happen to be in. If they get a ticket related to the lane they are in, it would be in relation to incorrectly using the lane (such as passing on the right. The left lane is not for blocking speeders, its for passing. Call the cops if you would like them ticketed for driving dangerously, but blocking them just makes an already dangerous situation more dangerous.

    My point is everyone is supposed to be in the right lane at all times unless actively passing, including the Lambo. Everyone.

    If I’m on a totally empty highway I would drive for the entire journey without going in the left lane as there would be literally no reason to. Doesn’t matter at all if I’m driving a slow semi or fast Lambo.
