I am pretty sure it is illegal.

Something which complicates this is the 'exit from the left lane' which is abundant in NJ. Makes no sense. Especially when someone prepares to take such an exit and moves over to the passing lane 3-4 miles prior to the exit and proceeds to drive below the speed limit until the exit.

On my daily commute, there is an especially dangerous example of this: the exit to Rt. 17 North off the Garden State Parkway North. Exit is to the left -- off the left hand lane. In the morning, there are cars often STOPPED in the passing lane since that exit backs up so much. And of course there are others who cut into the exit and are stopped at a point where you don't expect the car to be stopped.
