The "IF" is not as limiting as it may seem. True, it is impossible to know what is in someone's mind, but the statute also covers when a person "knows or reasonably should know." I guess a person could be dumber than a doorknob, or maybe blind, and "reasonably" not know there is someone coming up from behind, or they never look in their rearview (which would confirm they are dumber than a doorknob), but the average normal person (if there is such a thing) should see a car approaching from the rear and according to the law and "may not continue to operate a motor vehicle in the furthermost left-hand lane." The people who are blocking the left lane to prevent speeding should start spending their time trying to prevent law violations by following the law themselves and move over!!
