Does the left lane have a higher speed limit than the right lane? 70 is 70 in both lanes, correct?

The point is that the "Left Lane is for Passing Only" law trumps it. People need to stop justifying being jackwagons for the sake of being jackwagons.

I assume they don’t know. I’ve reached the age in life where it’s so much easier to assume the best. When someone is rushing through traffic and cutting people off, I just say, “I hope they make it to the hospital on time,” and go about my day.

My go-to is imagining they’ve been holding a deuce for too long and the reason they’re hunched over clenching the wheel is to keep it in a little longer.

We’ve all been there man. Helps me empathize.

We were going 80 and had a truck pull into the left lane to pass another truck. Apparently at WOT he was limited to 70mph.
The truck he was passing was going 69.5

You are an old grannie.

I only have a problem if you're in the left lane driving under the speed limit though.

It’s illegal to stay in the left lane if you’re not actively passing someone

The thing is that I've never known a person who has ever been ticketed for this and I've known people that have gotten ticketed for just about damn near anything and everything.

Lmao. They’re going the speed limit. But you want to go over the speed limit to pass someone going the speed limit and that person is wrong.

You serious Clark?

Just slow the hell down and quite endangering everyone else on the road by pretending you’re some kind of Fast & Furious wanna be.

Yes, that person is wrong. Rolling road blocks are much more dangerous than someone doing 75 in a 70.

Why not drive the seed limit? Then if someone is driving less than the speed limit in the right lane you can use the left lane to accelerate to the speed limit to pass?

Fwiw that’s how the law is supposed to work. Not idiots thinking the left lane has no speed limit and everyone driving slower than them are idiots and need to be driving in the right lane with the other idiots.

then get the frick out of the left lane and do not EVER venture into it and stay. Just bc you are going 2 mph faster than the 18 wheeler doesnt give you the right to slow poke your way for 10 miles in the left lane, fricking up the flow of traffic with your bullshite

All I know is that if I am in the left lane running with traffic with two or three cars in front of me and your arse flies up on my bumper like I can do a damn thing about it......I hope you get gonorrhea and your dick falls off.
then move the frick out of the way and let him go by. You are not winning the race, so why try to participate in the left lane game?

People driving the speed limit in the left hand lane need to be put down.

Yes you are. Why you could get a ticket for driving in the passing lane.

Just admit you like being a jackwagon knowing you are being one.
