Around here, the left lane has become the designated dump truck lane. Not unusual to see them 3 abreast. When they merge onto the highway, right to the left lane they go, not even close to being up to speed
Mini Rant - Drive right, pass left!!

I normally try to stay in the right lane unless passing, but when the right lane is rough and the left is smooth, I tend to hang around in the left lane a bit more.

Driving is a Privilege, not a Right. About 90% of drivers need to go back to driving school, if they ever went.
Pass left, stay right, road conditions permitting, not a hard to understand concept.

Traffic as I was taught.
Slow moving vehicles on the Highway is always to the right. Left lane is for passing.
The Ignorant campers of the left lane are too self-absorbed to bother moving to the right. I have encountered once or twice these people at rest stops where I was approached as a tailgater (I wasn't) and was putting everyone on the highway at risk. At risk I said. My response was simple left for passing and faster traffic. then out comes the Karen about how I was too dangerous to be on the road. I simply replied " if I was still driving my old beater of a Ford Bronco" I would have simply smashed into, your car and wrecked you into the median and I would sleep very well that night. Looks are priceless! The very fact I was followed into a rest area to be yelled at by someone driving below the speed limit in the 1st place just to annoy other drivers speak volumes. I always stay 2 car lengths back not to avoid accidents per say but to avoid damaging my car at all costs. I move to the right when I notice faster cars approaching. It's just simple curtesy. Others are right Road rage is real. I know of a victim of such a thing she purposely cut off a motorcyclist, at the next stop light he parked his bike pulled her from her car and beat her jumped back on his bike to never be caught this was in the 80's. By no means justified as she was known for being a Karen while driving. Just saying in today's world it's smarter not to antagonize people because you are right or not. It's almost too dangerous to walk out your own front door these days. Yes, I generally go about 10 miles over speed limits on highways in the fast lane.
I'll stay safe and let God sort out the idiots on the highway.
