Traffic law question: so CB gets annoyed when there is a slow car in the left

conetah

can you show me any topic about the right lane?

Left lane I mean

conetah

I don't mind slow cars in the right lane, it's the left lane slowpokes that suck

You mean left lane? Rule is this: the left lane is for passing, not cruising.

If there is no one in front of you, and someone behind you, always move to the

The left lane is a passing lane. If you are passing people on your right, you

Doesnt matter how fast the person is going in the left lane, you move to the

What I hate, though, is when I'm in the left lane passing a line of cars

jbcoug

The law says you don't have to move over while passing.

Cougar-Duck

7/21/15 8:35am

Yet you're the jerk when you come up on someone doing 75 in the left lane

ManicBlue

7/21/15 8:36am

I don't exactly feel the need to be accommodating

jbcoug

7/21/15 8:41am

It's not your call to make. You do it for safety.

kccougar

7/21/15 8:47am

Apparently it is my call to make

jbcoug

7/21/15 8:50am

And if you're willing to move over at the first reasonable opportunity

kccougar

7/21/15 8:53am

No, I'm not talking about that

jbcoug

7/21/15 8:59am

Then I agree with you.

kccougar

7/21/15 9:04am

yeah thats what I think as well, finishing passing then get over.

budYu

7/21/15 9:19am

This is what I'm getting at.

conetah

if you are not passing someone get out of the left lane

What if that slows me down 15 mph?

If you've been in the passing lane for more than a a couple of minutes,

I think this is why they don't give tickets for this.

conetah

7/21/15 8:53am

we shouldn't need tickets to prevent people from dumb driving.

Belboz

We shouldn't need mods to keep people from dumb-posting, yet here we are.

When I drive, I do my best to prevent myself from becoming a nuisance

Belboz

If it immediately slows you down, than you were obviously about to pass somebody

Left Shark Coug

7/21/15 8:56am

pass the person that slows you down?

kotacoug

7/21/15 8:58am

Wouldn't you be passing someone if that was the case?

cougaman

How fast is fast enough for left lane travel? Faster than the car behind you.

kccougar

7/21/15 8:35am

It's not about speed. It's about passing.

How do people still not know this rule? I guess Utah is doing a lot to try and

RdF3

7/21/15 8:51am

Utah is actually better at this than many States (Pacific NW I'm looking at you)

kccougar

7/21/15 8:54am

Yep. I grew up in OR and had never heard of this as a rule until I came to CO

supertux

although to be fair I never saw anything wider than a 4 lane highway until I

I'd argue that is when it is even more important. (outside of rush hour)
