Having driven is over in over 44 states each area has crazy drivers. In Florida, everyone, and I mean everyone is in the left lane. There were times the right lane was wide open for a mile and still everyone was in the left lane. I was in the right lane with my radar detector screaming as 5 different SUVs were flying along at 90 in the left lane, and the rolled right past a state trooper, and he just sat there. I guessed the speed limit must be more than 90 to get pulled over.
On my recent trip to PA on the many turnpikes again the speed limet appeared to be 90, and the left lane was full of drivers that never moved over.
Oklahoma actually has a law on the books that it is illegal to impend the traffic in the left lane. I was on a trip up the Turner Turnpike and the speed limit is 75. A car in the left lane was going 76 or so. I saw a trooper coming up behind me, so I moved over to the right lane. The trooper pulled up behind the left lane squatter for 3/4 of a mile. He turned on his lights and pulled him over. I hope he gave a ticket for impeding traffic. There are signs regularly that say do not impede the left lane, and to keep right except to pass.
Trucks in the left lane are the worst in most states. They take 3 or 4 miles to get past the truck in the right lane.
