It seems everything you write is in total isolation.

I think the law should specify that the slower car in the left lane may remain their as long as it's passing other cars with a certain minimum differential, say, 3mph. What irks me is when someone hogs the left lane driving the same speed, or perhaps 0.1mph faster, than the right lane, and it takes a couple of minutes for them to advance the necessary few carlengths to move over or create an opening for me to pass on the right. -- Ciao, Paul D.

Higher speed limits would help with lane discipline too, but you won't see anyone advocating those. -- TJH tjhiggin.at.hiwaay.dot.net |
