The far left--the "fast" lane as it is called. Funny thing is, if you
mention to people at the office or wherever, that it doesn't mean the
"break
the speed limit lane," you ought to hear the validations for people doing
just that. The argument is along the lines that this is the lane where,
if
someone needs to pass, speeding is legal to get around them; or, this is
the
lane where if the majority of drivers wants to go a little faster than the
flow of traffic, they do it there! There's more validations, but that's
the
gist of it...!!

Note that I let you know that I am already speeding, as it is. Up to
about
15 MPH over the posted speed.



It just goes to show the exams for a driver's license are not tough enough.

The "going over the speed limit to complete passing" applies ONLY to TWO
lane highways not multi-lane highways. Some states don't even allow that.
In those states, if you can't safely pass and stay within the speed limit,
you aren't supposed to pass at all.

According to state laws, the speed limit is the maximum that one is supposed
to drive even in the "fast lane" with the exception of passing on a TWO
lane highway in some states.
