Just curious, are you certain that maybe it isn’t just one car in that lane that won’t get over?

Maybe there’s a line of cars in the left lane who are going faster than the folks in the right lane, and you should just get in line with the rest of them.

Nope. I see it time and time again. Two cars are traveling side by side on the interstate going along around 70MPH with nobody blocking the way ahead of them. Neither one of these dolts speeds up or slows down, creating a barrier for any faster vehicles. If one of these cars drifts over even a foot or two, there would be a pile-up involving the two cars and everyone else behind them. It's insanely unsafe.

This is not what op is talking about...but even then, that front car (if they were situationally aware) would see and know that clearly every car behind them wants to go faster, so even if they are going faster than every car in the right lane...they should move to the right lane for a bit when there is a gap for them to cruise at same speed for a while. Left lane is the passing lane, not cruising lane. Just because you're moving faster than everyone else in the right doesn't mean you're considered as constantly passing. If every car did and followed the path that I described, traffic problems would drastically reduce. It's the assholes that think as long as they're going faster than everyone in the right lane, they're good to sit in the left and cruise...wrong
