even better the law in its own words

quote:

Impeding traffic flow; minimum speed in left-hand lanes


(a)(1) No person shall drive a motor vehicle at such a slow speed as to impede the normal and reasonable movement of traffic, except when reduced speed is necessary for safe operation.

(2) On roads, streets, or highways with two or more lanes allowing for movement in the same direction, no person shall continue to operate a motor vehicle in the most left-hand lane at less than the maximum lawful speed limit once such person knows or should reasonably know that he is being overtaken in such lane from the rear by a motor vehicle traveling at a higher rate of speed, except when such motor vehicle is preparing for a left turn.


sorry it was slightly amended to take out the lawful speed

quote:

(c) Upon roads, streets, or highways with two or more lanes allowing for movement in the
28 same direction, no person shall continue to operate a motor vehicle in the passing lane once
29 such person knows or should reasonably know that he or she is being overtaken in such
30 lane from the rear by a motor vehicle traveling at a higher rate of speed. For purposes of
31 this Code section, 'passing lane' means the most left-hand lane other than a high occupancy
32 vehicle lane
