Nebraska considers law against leftlanedriving 3523
Brent P Here's a scenario on how the left-lane issue will evolve and possibly be resolved. It will involve a bad accident with...

a guy comes up on a truck .. who is not up to speed or has himself gotten slowed by traffic

.. and a guy hops in the left lane.. going slower than the speed limit but about the same as the truck... or just enough faster than it will literally take miles for him to get around...

.. meanwhle all hell is breaking loose behind him.. with the very impatient weaving to the right lane then trying to cut back in the line that has formed behind the blocker.

just from a practical perspective.. it would seem that the slow driver needs to boost their speed at least enough to make a pbutt in a timely manner.. then slow down to their comfortable speed ... but they don't..

The result of their "i'm here and you can't be here" behavior breeds chaos.. with lots of blame to go around but the bottom line.. is that IMHO this is gross anti-social behavior.... that causes a lot of others to demand a law to force a behavior change on folks.. who, again IMHO can't-won't deal with realities in a common-sense manner.
