Go back to drivers-ed, or read your local laws. MOST states have laws on the books that state that you must "keep right, except when passing". In others words, If you are not currently, actively PASSING someone, then you must be in the far right lane! I sometimes(?) exceed the speed limit. I have been known to drive in excess of 65mph. You will NEVER see me in the left lane, unless I am passing someone. I do pass a lot of cars, but as soon as it is clear for me to pull over to the right, you will see me do it. Also, no matter how 'fast' I am going, I NEVER feel that EVERYONE must bow to my desire to drive where and when and how fast I wish. Driving is a PRIVILEDGE, to be SHARED with everyone else on the road. If you wish to drive 40mph in a 55mph zone, GO AHEAD!!!! BUT.. Don't impead, or disrupt or ignore other traffic. I can empathize with tail-gaters. I am NOT saying that they are right, but then neither is the J**K in the left hand lane, playing GOD with the flow of traffic. PLEASE, PEOPLE.......COOPERATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! With LOVE, (** FRODO **) alias hou5g!jrt
