[QUOTE="71buickfreak, post: 2734473, member: 8373"] The left lane is only for passing. You are breaking the law by camping out in the left lane, regardless of the speed you are driving. the only exception is when there is other traffic around you. You are still supposed to speed up or slow down to merge to the other lane when faster moving cars are behind you. I got pulled over for doing 85 on the way to airport once. I was running late. Hi-po pulled up behind me and hit the lights. He said the only reason he pulled me over was because I didn't move over fast enough and he had to slow down. Let me go with just the verbal warning. A few months ago, I was headed down i40. Left lane clear, right lane full of semis and slow traffic. I was doing 70-75. Car comes up behind me, I can't move over. I push it to 80. He gets closer to my bumper. 90. He is practically tasting what I had for dinner. At 94, the governor on my truck kicks in, I have to slow to 89 before it will accelerate again. This continues for about 10 miles. Finally, I get a clear spot in the right lane and pull over. Yeah, it was 2 hipos. They sped past med at 110-ish once I pulled over. Never popped a light, nothing. I would been more aggressive in merging had they flashed the head lights or popped the cherries n berries. I guess they just figured merging was not an easy thing at that point and were not going to worry about it. That was an interesting night. What I want to know is why are we hearing about this and not a story about how your "friend" had to hitchhike back home? :hot: [/QUOTE]
