  Incorrect in Wisconsin, FWIW. By law, we have the speed limit, and “slower traffic keep right.” And there’s no keeping-up-with-flow-of-traffic clause, either. So traveling at the limit in the left lane is completely legal, there’s no obligation to clear the way for lawbreakers.

    There’s legal and there’s things you should do. If the highway is three lanes, move the fuck over.

      As I’ve been reminded, it’s not your job to police other drivers’ behavior. 😉

    If you have slower traffic keep right, and there is no one to the right of the slower moving car, shouldn’t they keep right in that case?

      No, not if they’re travelling at about the speed limit.

        It is also illegal to stay in the left lane when other people are speeding. If they are going faster than you, you are by definition slower traffic and obliged to keep to the right.

        Your job as a driver is not to police other drivers’ behaviors. It’s not even to follow the letter of the law. It’s to operate the vehicle safely. Creating obstacles for other people because you don’t think they should drive so fast is not a safe action.

        Really, we need to collectively get rid of the idea of a “fast lane.” The left lane is a passing lane. You should only be in it when you’re attempting to pass someone, and when the pass is complete, you should move over.

    Completely legal doesn’t mean you aren’t a dick for doing it

      Sometimes you gotta pass speed-governed semis and adaptive-cruise folks; I’m not worried about criminals’ opinions of me.
