But, what if there is a dinosaur in the right lane? All these complaints sound like my wife's fifth grade students...

Just use common sense

Common sense means nothing to those lacking it. which is why you have drivers in the left lane going slower than the right

Why are people going faster in the right lane? Wouldn’t this common sense you speak of tell them to slow down and “be safe”?

If speeding is one of the leading causes of vehicle crashes and deaths then why is someone driving the speed limit in the left lane so dangerous?

We have to get people out of the left lane so people can go fast in the left lane because SAFETY. Huh?

There’s a logical disconnect with that argument but maybe someone who is educated on traffic safety/flow can provide some insight.

You do not have the authority to control traffic. Move your arse over!

It will be interesting to see which of us are the first to receive a ticket for this. I'm thinking the number will be small.

I feel "safer" already...

So let me get this straight. You're bitching that this is a revenue generation scheme (with no evidence I might add), yet you're bitching that the state doesn't fix the roads (which takes revenue, which they don't have enough of)?

Small to nonexistent, but should it happen, we know who the potential recipients are!

Of course it's a revenue scheme, otherwise they would have been enforcing this law years ago when they implemented it.

I'm ragging on the state because they claim this law is for "safety" when there's safety problems MUCH BIGGER than someone driving in the left lane they could tackle.

(with no evidence I might add)

You know, growing up, we never really had evidence or saw my little brother actually pee on the toilet seat. But when you wake up in the morning and there's pee on the seat, it's pretty evident who did it, despite "evidence".

Sir..... sir..... you ARE aware that you are posting on OSA yes?

First, you don't have a single statistic to support this being a revenue generation scheme. You sound like the lefties crying "blood in the streets" after passing CCW laws. Just because you see no use in the law doesn't mean many others do. This law's most important benefit should be driver awareness, not revenue. I'm open to the possibility that it might wind up being misapplied, but we need to wait until the evidence of such presents itself. And no one is asking you to pull over just so someone can take your place in a line of traffic. The law isn't written that way and as above, you'll have justification to complain if it's misapplied.

A statistic would not show it is a revenue generating scheme. It has a built in revenue generating scheme with the fine you must pay for violating the law - a law and revenue generating scheme that did not exist until the law was passed, ergo, no existing statistics to base anything on if it were to be appropriate to base any such answer on statistics.

If the law didn't exist, there would never be a need to complain about a misapplication of the law. (In other words, more revenue for lawyers!)
