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.

I think a lot of places have a similar law, it's just often not enforced. In FL you'll seen "Slower Traffic Keep Right" signs.

I drive I-10 west of Houston a lot. 2 lanes each way (being expanded to 3). We get a lot of drag racing semis. One semi going 70, and another pulls out to pass at 70.25. Speed Limit is mostly 75 Traffic is mostly 75-80 (I'm usually at 82-83) and the few others that are running 85-100.
