In reality, however, the locals seem to make no effort to enforce the law, and you have the self entitled people that think it is their right to slow everyone else down and have the selfish attitude "We're retired, whats the hurry. " I don't see a solution other than trying to travel at times when there are not a lot of people on the road.
Did you read your own post?

Quote:
Upon all roadways, any vehicle proceeding at less than the normal speed of traffic at the time and place and under the conditions then existing shall be driven in the right-hand lane then available for traffic or as close as practicable to the right-hand curb or edge of the roadway except when overtaking and passing another vehicle proceeding in the same direction or when preparing for a left turn at an intersection or into a private road or driveway.
Did you not see this part? Proceeding at "LESS THAN THE NORMAL SPEED". You are only required to stay in the right hand lane of you are not doing the speed limit or not keeping up with the flow of traffic.
