As opposed to backing up the left lane?



It's either back up the left lane and force left laners to drive closer to the speed limit, or back up the right lane by going 10-20mph below the speed limit. The latter is much more dangerous.

Truck drivers back up both lanes on all terrains in my area. It's a fricking pandemic.

frick no.

The left lane will always be for speeders. Yes it's illegal and you don't have to agree with it. But what is dangerous is when a line of cars, who have been flowing along at 80 mph for MILES, suddenly have to slow down to 65 because the "professional" driver needs to pass the Swift rookie trying to find the right gear. That line of cars then gets frustrated at the semi barely plodding along, which leads to right side passing and that semi being "trapped" in the left lane.

Its not your job to make others slow down to what you find acceptable.
