Since when is speeding allowed in any lane? I can't imagine how you passed your drivers test.
Not keeping right is a violation of traffic law in most areas.

ALL that matters is if you are going to go slow, get to the right.
it's the freaking retarded morons going the speed limit in the hammer lane that i hate.
HELLO! you'd fail your drivers' test if you were going slow in the fast lane... if you are not passing, KEEP RIGHT.
other than that, I couldn't care less if you go 55 in a 55.. just not in the passing lane.

umm just because it is the "Passing" lane doesnt give you the right to speed in it....... You would fail your drivers test if you went 65 in a 55 because it was the passing lane.....
So according to this thread, you would fail your driver's test if:
a. You drive at the speed limit in the passing lane because you will be holding people up.
b. You drive over the speed limit in the passing lane because you are speeding.
Which means that's it's basically illegal to be in the passing lane.

Definitely wasn't in the left lane, in fact, I was as far over in the right lane as I could go without straddling the shoulder line. And I would have slowed down to 40 - but I never would've been able to get it going again.
But then again, this was in PA. Nobody in PA can think. Or drive.
It's a known fact. There's a reason the "WELCOME TO PA" sign says "Drive carefully" - if you aren't paying attention, one of them WILL kill you.

That makes no logical sense. As soon as you cross over into Ohio people are more educated about driving? Sure, maybe some states require drivers ed, but news flash, that doesn't make them all better drivers.Originally posted by: EyeMWing

Ask anyone that's ever driven though NY/NJ/PA but doesn't live there. None of you fsckers know how to drive. And in PA, that's prettymuch a given, you don't even require drivers ed.
You claimed you would fail your drivers test if you were going "slow" in the passing lane, which is bs. Though I understand what you're getting at.Originally posted by: CraigRT

I didn't have to pass anyone for one thing.. and I only would have passed if they were going less than the speed limit.. not hard.

Actually...it does. The left lane is there for people who choose to drive faster than the speed limit, or rather, faster than other people, thereby having to pass other people. It isn't you or anyone elses job to tell me or keep me from going as fast as I want to go.

Was going 55 in a 55... Because the f'ing engine wouldn't go any faster. Foot to the floor the entire trip. It's a 2 lane divided highway, 11PM, no other traffic. But nobody seemed to want to pass me until they rode up on my bumper first, flashed their lights, honked, and sat there for 45 seconds. A few of them made damn sure that I saw them flip me off, too. What did they expect from an antique truck covered in dents and other assorted damage on temporary tags?
Where you were going, is still breaking the letter of the law, just to make sure were clear on that.Originally posted by: CraigRT

well, fine, yeah maybe it was worded poorly, but ok i'm glad you get where i was going
The speed limit is the speed limit, passing lane or not. Sure you can choose to break the limit. When you get pulled over for speeding, telling the officer that you were in the passing lane and that means it's ok to speed will just get you a laugh and a ticket.Actually...it does. The left lane is there for people who choose to drive faster than the speed limit, or rather, faster than other people, thereby having to pass other people. It isn't you or anyone elses job to tell me or keep me from going as fast as I want to go.

going 55 in a passing lane means you are not passing.
either way, if someone looks in their mirror and sees a car that wants to pass, they should make an effort to get out of the way. it's not only etiquette and being respectful of others, but it makes the highway flow smoother!

you WILL get pulled over if you do this for a cop. buddy of mine was doing 65 in a 65, he had slowed down because he had seen the rollers in his rear view mirror (no lights yet). he was going around a semi and the cop came up behind him at a brisk pace so he sped up to get out of his way, not going much over 70 in the process and the cop pulled him over for the reason of speeding. 72 in a 65

Sure, but he didn't understand what I was trying to say. I guess that was my fault. Basically, other drivers shouldn't dicate to me what the correct speed is. If I want to go 75 in a 65, they shouldn't stop me, however, some drivers don't know what they are doing, and decide to stay in the left lane because for some reason they think they are going fast enough, and that I should just deal with it. At least..that is what I assume they are thinking.

I freaking hate that.. I agree doing 75 in a 65 is obviously not within the law, but they should still move over nonetheless. it's your choice not theirs.
