Left-lane driving ban now the law



That's why the signs say "Slower Traffic Keep Right" with no reference to the speed limit.

But, regardless of the law, allowing faster traffic to pass on the left is the safest option, which is what should guide driving decisions. Those who make driving decisions based on contempt for other drivers are just putting everyone, including themselves, at greater risk.
If I'm driving in the left lane and passing people on the right and I happen to be blocking someone behind me who wants to be going 90 it's not out of contempt or me wanting to "teach anyone a lesson". I couldn't care less what that person does and I haven't thought about them at all. Maybe the reason why road rage is so bad is people taking every other driver's actions as a personal attack.
