Yes, in Texas it is the law. You are

************************************
Texans must drive in the right-hand lane.

In other words -- move over.

Yes, you. Get out of the left lane.

I don't care how fast you're driving. Or
what the speed limit is.

Texas law is blunt. (snip)


Thanks for looking that up, JJ. I suspected it was the law in Texas. I
suspect it is also the law in Jim's state. Most states have, or are passing,
laws in this regard because of studies which show that drivers who refuse to
move to the right to allow others to pass cause accidents. I haven't seen
these studies myself, but I've heard mention of them in debates about these
laws.
