I am starting to lose count of the number of people who say they are
doing 65-75 mph in the left lane and somebody else is breaking the law
by failing to keep to the right. Let us not forget that this is
an academic discussion only. The law still says that 55 is the speed
limit. I don't think that in court you can justify a speeding ticket
by saying that the driver in front of you was breaking a keep to the
right law.
If you want to make a statement about the 55 speed limit why not tell
us what constructive action you have done to change the law. Not what
illegal action you did to someone who obeys the law.

Out here, the law is 'KEEP RIGHT EXCEPT TO PASS'. I was pulled over by a
state smoky for staying almost exclusively in the left hand lane.
My speed was 73-75 most of the time (the limit was 70 then, ah! the good
old days). The smoky didn't care about my bending of the speed limit,
be he did care about my left lane occupancy ratio.
To all of you who feel good going 'THE SPEED LIMIT' and staying put
in the left hand lane, com'n out here and get a ticket.
