Plus, it is almost certain that the person driving significantly under the speed limit will want to turn left at a circle. To be "safe" they will place themselves into the left lane far in advance of the circle which will result in other drivers using the right lane as the passing lane.

If a driver feels unsafe traveling at 35 mph on Morse or BV then that driver should reconsider whether they should be behind the wheel.
Absolutely!!!!!

I don't understand why some other people just don't get it. Again, I've been drawn into this even though I don't speed and don't have a dog in this fight. But since I'm here, I think there should be equal opportunity for a citation. In NY, the unofficial rule was "eight you skate, nine you're mine" referring to going 8 or 9 mph over the limit. I would add those same parameters to going 8 or 9 UNDER the limit. Also, how many left lane Louie's know they are REQUIRED to pull over if someone wants to pass, even if they are going the limit?
