There are various places in most states that have set minimums...

I always thought you could get a ticket for going too slow... at least in Oregon... it was called Impeding Traffic... never seen it actually happen.

most of the "slow drivers" I've seen are actually just driving the limit... not 10-15mph over like everyone else

you need to drive around NYC and the surrounding area more, nobody moves over, its nice when we go upstate or out of state and people actualy do the right thing. Guess its all perspective.

Plus most of fla is all transplanted new yorkers anyway

Exactly so they created a problem that everyone was doing that was already illegal, and created a solution for the previously not enforced solution

Drives me crazy...

1. Nobody really changes lanes...they just kind of drift all over the place.

2. Left lane is for "well we are going to be on the expressway\parkway\highway for more than 2 miles so we''ll just stay here in the left lane.

3. Gotta tailgate or else someone is going to squeeze in and make matter worse

4. Solid white line? Aint that no different than a any other line. Just means you can use HOV lane as a passing lane.

5. Right of way means whoever leans in closest to steering wheel gets to go first.

6. It is mandatory that all cab\livery drivers ride the brake on the highway. rules state that brake light must flash at least once every 15 seconds.

7. Cell phone law really means "Use right ear...not left ear".

A little while back out on Sunrise highway around Exit 54, I'm doing a little under 60mph in the right lane. Guy in the left lane is doing bout the same and is sloooooooowly passing me. Hes about 2 car lengths back and closing

Some asshole in a Trailblazer pulls up behind me and starts flashing to pass.
In the right fucking lane.
I can see in the rear view that he mouthing "Come on!!" and motioning with his hand for me to move up.

In the right lane on a 4 lane highway with me travelling 3-5 mph over the speed limit.

I immediately set my cruise control.

Once it turned to a 6 lane he flies across to the far left lane to pass the guy in the now middle lane and then proceeds to cut back in...all pissy like.

People who don't move over are on an ego trip.

"I'm not letting anyone tell me what to do!!!1"

Like a 6-inch movement of the wrist is a lot of work.

It's kind of like getting mad at someone just because they happened to be walking behind you, thus requiring you to hold the door for them.

My question for Trailblazer asshole is "Where the fuck do you expect me to go if I'm already in the right lane?"
