re: How can we get people to understand what the left lane is for on interstates?

If you can move over, then you are no longer passing.
Also, if the speed limit is 70 and I'm going 75-80, I'm not going to slam on my brakes down to 50mph to try and squeeze into a small window of opportunity to switch over. So yea, technically I can move over, but I'm also passing cars, ya know, which is what the left lane is for, so that's still using the left lane as it is intended.

Then you are in the right.
But if you are in the left to pass a car in the right 500 feet ahead you are in the wrong.

Ahh yes, another thread from piss-poor drivers who can't drive worth a shite and end up getting boxed in because they refused to put down their cell phone and get away from traffic when they had the chance over the past several miles.
They wake up when someone is on front of them, then they get mad.
And by the way (to the people who are critical if people driving in the left lane on an empty freeway)... WTF are you doing in the left lane yourself.
Mind your own goddamn business and move on down the road when you have a chance.

I think George Carlin sums up my thoughts on slow drivers perfectly:
"Don’t you occasionally wish that instead of having headlights you had a couple of 50-caliber machine guns on the front of your car? So you could send several hundred rounds of burning lead into that slow-movin’ gas guzzler up ahead? Just incinerate the motherfricker and get his arse off the road permanently? Or don’t you wish you were driving a rented car, so you could bash the a-hole in the rear end, pay the deductible, and be done with the whole goddamn thing? BAM! BAM! BAM! “Don’t mind me, folks. I’m just tryin’ to ease him into second gear.” BAM! BAM! BAM! God, it would do my heart good. Or if the offender is directly behind you, wouldn’t it be nice to have an electronic message board that would rise up out of the trunk of your car and let you type in any message you like? ATTENTION, a-hole! YOU DRIVE LIKE OLD PEOPLE frick. SLOW AND SLOPPY!"-- George Carlin

They need enforcement. It's horrible here in Kentucky as well.

They need to be pulled over, dragged out, and fricking murdered on the spot and their heads posted on "Slower Traffic Keep Right" signs

It takes about one YEAR and several thousand dollars to "EARN" a German license....it includes stringent classroom and road tests, in all driving conditions...i.e. snow,ice rain,city/autobahn training etc. Also, the vehicle you drive is thoroughly tested yearly for road worthiness and safety. The government invests HEAVILY in road-way design,maintenance and constant improvements....in short, one has to earn the right to drive over there...it's not your god given right to bring your idiocy to the public roadways !
Also, NO trucks allowed in left lanes....AT ALL...even used to ban truck traffic on Sundays {not sure if they still do that}...great idea though...we can all wait 2 more days to get the toaster,lawnmower and oven we need !

I guess my point is that we seem to always go after the person who just cruises in the right lane, but only that person. Sure, that person is a douche. But the person I described that thinks he can go as fast as he wants in the left lane even when there's moderate traffic and will get on your arse immediately, that person is equally douchy. But we never call that person out on the boards, just the left lane cruiser.
That's all I really meant.
