And I could just as easily say mine is an accurate description.
She's going with the flow of traffic,

she should slow down and change
lanes so that someone who wants to
go even faster can get by?
You're not that ignorant of the traffic laws around the country, Jim. In
most states, slower vehicles must drive in the right lane (or right lanes on
multiple lane roads), drivers should not impede the flow of traffic, and
drivers must allow others to pass. Of course she doesn't have to slow down
to do so. Instead, she would be expected to move to the right as soon as
there is an opening for her to do so (instead of camping out in the left
lane because she is driving fast enough).
Where is it in the motor vehicle code
that a driver on a multilane divided
highway has to change lanes and slow
down to allow a speeder to pass in a
non-emergency situation?
Don't be silly, Jim. I don't live in your state. I've already said that is
the law in "most" states, which obviously isn't a statement about all
states. If you have any question about the laws in your specific state, look
it up yourself. After all, it's your motor vehicle code, not mine.
It's everyone's business.
It's everyone's business to enforce the traffic laws by taking direct
action on the highways? I suppose you're also going to say she should chase
speeders down the highway and ram their vehicles if they refuse to stop. The
last thing we need is self-styled vigilantes on our nation's highways.
