It should be obvious to the most casual of observers that if you are in
the left lane and other traffic is attempting to go faster than you are,
even if you are driving the normal speed, speeding, or whatever, you are
obliged to move to the right lane to let the faster traffic pass. That
is stated pretty plainly. Even if you are going the same speed of the
vehicles in the right lane, you cannot block faster traffic in the left
lane. The law states that the operator of a moving vehicle "*shall*
drive in the *right* hand lane unless the operator is: (1)passing
another vehicle." Pretty plain, if you are in the left lane and going
the same speed as vehicles in the right, then you are not passing, so
you are obliged to move to the right.
I bet that if kimmygirl is in the left lane and approaches a slower
vehicle in that lane she certainly expects them to move over so she can
speed on her merry way.


You are being deliberately obtuse. Kim repeatedly stated that she was
going
the same speed as the other cars in the lane that she was in not the lanes
to her right. She was going with the normal flow of traffic in the lane
she
was in. It should be obvious to the most casual observer that she was not
blocking traffic in the left lane as she was going at the speed of the
traffic in that lane. That ONE car tries to force her to move over does
not
constitute impeding the flow of traffic as the blockhead that is trying to
get her to move over will have to attempt the same maneuver with all the
other cars in the lane.

Oh, they do!! They do. And, you describe it correctly, Dee. I am with the
flow of traffic in the speeders lane--those of us who are already (usually)
well above the speed limit. Then, some bozo will come up from behind,
barreling faster than we are, and want every single one of us to move as
he/she proceeds forward. As I have observed most other drivers also feel
the same way I do--becuase few if any move. The faster speeder usually ends
up moving to the right when they get a break, zooms up and squeezes into a
space the length of a Volkswagon, with a dooly four-door pickup truck!!!

The really funny part is, when they get closer to town? We all catch up,
usually toot and wave as we drive past because they've now gotten themselves
stuck over in the right hand lane... I know, it's not nice to gloat... but
it sure is satisfying!
