What is your opinion regarding the speed limit drivers should do in the left lane of a highway?

Asked by jca2 (16262points) May 24th, 2019

Do you think drivers in the left lane should yield to people driving closely behind them, by moving over to the middle lane (or right hand lane)?

Do you feel drivers in the left lane should drive at whatever speed they want to?

Do you feel that drivers in the left lane should go faster than the posted speed limit (when there are no police around, of course), in the interest of keeping a good flow of traffic?

On Facebook, there’s a group for a local commuter highway that I travel daily and there are constant posts about people driving slowly in the left lane, screwing up the commute for others. The speed limit on this particular highway is 65. Most people in the left lane on this highway do 80 mph, sometimes someone goes a little faster, often there are people doing 70 in the left lane which outrages people (in the FB group). This is what prompted this question.

I’ve been driving on this road for about 20 years so I’ve seen all kinds of situations.

What is your opinion?
