so you're saying it's perfectly fine for you to break the law and not speeders?

So it would be perfectly fine for one of them to police you, as you are doing to them, by running you off the road, correct?

Incorrect. How am I breaking the law if I'm going the max limit of speed?

By creating a rolling roadblock. Which is against the law.

I keep seeing these signs up that the left lane is for passing. I do plan to eventually pass someone

That's on the drivers speeding if I initially had no cars directly behind me.

I don't understand this. Is it difficult for you to change lanes?

I linked the law, it is independent of traveling at or above the speed limit.

The law's focus is on impeding traffic behind you if you are in the left lane.

You all know, and I know, that the pokey driver in the left lane is IN CONTROL. That's the whole purpose. They're in control of how fast you can drive. It's a turn on for those people. You must submit.

One of these days they are going to take it from behind by some red neck with a beater and no fricks to give.

If you're doing the limit, you're holding up the people that know they can do 10 miles over the limit.

Get out of the left lane.

You may inconvenience someone for a couple miles, but if they really want to get around you, they will.

You definitely sound like a pick-up driver.

10 miles over is never a given considering 85 mph is considered wreckless driving in many places.

It appears you are the law breaker -

From National Highway Traffic Safety Association:

("notwithstanding" or despite posted speed limits it is prohibited to drive continuously in the left lane on any highway with a posted speed limit 65mph or above)

Law prohibits driving continuously in the left lane. The duty of slower traffic to keep right applies "notwithstanding the prima facie speed limits." The left lane is reserved for passing where the speed limit is 65 or higher. A state brochure discusses the law.

Louisiana Statute RS 32:71 On multilane highways keep right except to pass...

People that drive for a living know there are areas where they can make hay.

Get out of the left lane or drive the Farm top market roads.

Hwy 80 is a much more scenic drive than I-20 anyway.

Get out ot the left lane until you need to get around the fifth wheel.

People that think like you do should not be allowed to drive on any roads with speed limits over 65 miles an hour.
