Once upon a time, someone thought that “slowing down” saved lives; getting from here to there was merely a secondary concern. Law enforcement discovered that lowering the speed limits by five or ten miles an hour was a great way to increase ticket revenue (no longer a ‘conspiracy’ anymore, merely an admitted fact). “Road rage” has since become a 21st century watchword because society isn’t slowing down and drivers are fed up with those who can’t keep up (minimum speed 45 mph in a 70 is legal?) Move over, dang nabbit!

Now, FINALLY, people who think 45 mph is safe in the left passing lane (if only to slow their fellow travelers down), their days are numbered. Failing to yield to allow faster drivers by on the left is a ticketable offense, and in Colorado and (yay!) Florida, they’re enforcing it. If you want to drive on weekdays like its Sunday on the freeway, do it in the right lane (it’s the ‘right’ lane for YOU, after all!) Check out this article for more details, but all I can say is hooray.
