Fudge_Brownie Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Would it matter? People need to learn to move over for faster traffic. If I am traveling at 70mph in the fast lane and someone is coming up on my tail I move over and allow them to pass. Then I can move back over once they have passed, its really not that hard. It improves traffic flow and safety. No reason to be traveling 50-55mph on the highway anyways. Most states have a highway minimum of 65mph so 50-55mph is breaking the law. It would help explain why the driver was upset. But no, it really wouldn't matter. I completely agree, and it may not have been clear in my reply, but I'd argue I hate people who travel in the left lane A LOT. In fact, pretty sure I've bitched about it on VS at least 10 times. As for hwy minimums, MA is 45mph (with a 65 limit). Don't think I've ever personally seen a minimum sign for any higher than that, but I'm sure they exist. And the minimum part is irrelevant, because he was already breaking the law by traveling in the left lane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here in the great state of Michigan top is 70/75 and bottom is 60/65 mph. We also have yield left laws, meaning if someone behind you is traveling faster you must move over and yield to them. Its illegal to a pass on the right when traveling on the highway. Also the far left lane is used as a passing lane and is not considered a travel lane, majority of traffic should be in the right lanes. When people follow the rules traffic flows well.

That is not specific to MI. That is most, if not all, states. I can only speak for what I see out here in RI/MA, people regularly travel in the left, often at the speed limit or barely above, and many people get pissed and pass on the right, me included. I'd argue one of the biggest problems is that the police do not ticket for this (traveling left). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burn-E Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Ha, there's a gallery on the CBS news website showing the faces of people going through a particularly scary part of Nightmare Fear Factory in Niagra Falls, Canada. Link here. This one cracked me up in particular. Probably not quite the manly picture this poor sod was hoping for. Or this guy: But the first one is the best: Is that Rboy8 I spy? :lol: No homo dude! Just for Justin... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
